Might as well add the "L" and permanently label her a pornstar.

Is there a linkage to watching daytime tv? I keep running into names like Hunter and Viagra...

The truth is that I have great spelling when I actually concentrate on it. But more often than not, I do not care for spelling and type whatever comes to mind without really thinking about it. What’s more I tend to type much faster than I should and thus often make typos, which I never go back to fix, because I don't care.

All of which is cool, just bustin' your chops a little. It's a cellar ritual.

I still haven't figured out what's up with Jennifer 8. Lee, a writer for the NY Times. (That's exactly how her byline reads.)

Hmm. "Crystal", "Brittany", and "Tiffany" are stereotypical names the country-club set gives their children (along with "Buffy", though the character has probably changed that). "Heather" fits in there too. Maybe being a spoiled brat predisposes one to the disorder.

I used to work with a girl named Tiffany. She was quite good looking...and a gold digger. She had admited that her goal in life was to find and marry some hot rich guy. She wanted to do this because after trying many different jobs she realized that it wasn't the jobs she didn't like but the fact that she had to "work".

Her plan involved dating many of the sports stars, being in Philly she had dated several eagles and sixers. But so far it got her nothing than a few presents, dates to luxurious restaurants and free tickets...thats that. But knowing her it's just a matter of time. She's quite smart and ambitious, if she wasn't a lazy gold digging whore I'd have found her very attractive.

She's probably done more "work" trying to attract an appropriate mate than she would in a "real" job.

One might say so. But then it depends on what you see as "work". I used to play games in tournaments and I never saw that as work. When I'd say "Look I won $100" people would say "Yeah but you've been playing that game for 3 months 40 hours a week..." but then I had FUN I never thought of that time as WORK.

She seems to enjoy trying to seek them out and being able to suck some money out of them. She's damn good at it. She lives in an appartment paid for by her "exboyfriend" who also takes care of the electricity bill for her, (she explained it as "he's silly like that". He used to drive her to work but after he crashed his car he began to give her money for a cab. After a few days she said she "got along well" with the cab driver and he now drives her for free...she still takes her exbfs cab money though..

Getting the BF or ex to support you in the manner you're accustomed to is easily within the bounds of gold-digging. But when you're banging the cabbie for free rides, you've crossed over to "whore", IMO.

I guess we could've been friends up until 5 months ago, or even just a few weeks ago. I quit AMD back in June, sold my options in September, and dumped the rest of my stock this month.

Welcome aboard, asshole.

Well my resume is now sent off to your employer FNF. If you happen to come across one with "Shepps" as the name, that's mine.

The Cellar is a bullet point on the resume since it's relevant experience.

If the boss happens to mention that he has to sort through 400 resumes this weekend, just tell him he can save a lotta time by looking at mine first.

TIA
