Forgot to post some recent finds but really not a whole lot of note. Was happy to here almost the entirety of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" in Goodwill's Halloween music rotation tonight despite not finding anything at all.

**** me I was in the library when the nsuited $1 craze hit.

Almost forgot to check denim

First.  You were making statements like that when you were interest in the BBBF.  Second, I will stop posting if this how fellow members treat another member.  I will take my weak post and unworthy finds to another forum.  And I am not trying to sell.

Pure gold

Some lady grabbed my pole only minutes after posting locally. Effective advertising pays off I guess. 

You know, I totally got the wrong idea when you said she grabbed your pole..

I saw this label for the first time...

But then, this... Also, the suit was priced separately!

1) Nice jeans, Ian.

2) Let's all cool the **** down on the listings/availability stuff, OK?

3) Thrifted stripper pole makes thrifted bathing suits seem downright cleanly. I hope you hit that with a blacklight before using.

Regarding 3)
As a healthcare safety / infection control officer of course I took standard precautions! When acquired, I did a good wipe down with a pro quat sanitizer and then did a pass through high heat and a UV sterilizer.
To prevent possible cross contamination I always swap out my latex gloves between handling items as well.

So, did the person who grabbed your pole wear latex gloves?

Every interview I did were for jobs that hadn't made it to the "posted" stage. They had a need and saw my information before even doing a formal listing. The best part about that is you aren't really competing against anyone yet. Did you try emailing attorneys in the firms you would want to work for even for not listed jobs? The worst that happens is you get ignored.PM me and we can strategize together. I would love to help if I can. I didn't realize you had been trying for an entire year with no results. Your career development office helpful at all?

Not really. And I'm aware of that strategy and did it, but there are basically 8 or so real biggish firms in the state and I interviewed with effectively all of them. Small firms aren't going to think about hiring before a concrete need and I really don't see how you differentiate amongst them in picking who to effectively cold call (and again I did this to no avail).

Tl;dr - I appreciate the offer and will chat with anyone, but I think it's fair to say I've heard every version of legal career advice there is at this point

I'm heading home tomorrow, so I'll be back to regular posting next week. I'll try to get pictures of my finds, but some of it will be sent out before I get photos.

Until then, some ties:
