As long as he doesn't have the key, sure. Then he can stay there and eat all the taco salad bowls he wants. You could use Dr. Fate's tower; it doesn't even have a door! Can we afford to take a chance on him finding the helmet unattended? Not sure we want to risk dealing with Dr. Trumpfate.

It would never fit his head. Even if he shaved that demonic hair. Dr. Trumpfate would however be a cool character... torn by the fact his powers come from Egypt, which is now a muslim country.

Dr. Trumpfate could change it into a big hammer so he could bash any Muslims that tried to sneak into the country. He could then get rich(er) by cross marketing it in an arcade game similar to "Whack-a-Mole". "Whack-a-Muslim" would be a big hit (so to speak) among the slack jawed masses whose most treasured possession is the Confederate flag passed down from their pappys.

We are talking about Donald "tasteful" Trump, after all!

Had a meeting with a recruiting firm yesterday. They'd contacted me a couple of weeks ago and indicated they'd seem my profile on LinkedIn and wanted to talk with me about some opportunities they had. This is more of a "boutique" firm, focused on experienced professional-, management-, and executive-level positions rather than cattle-calling for every entry-level position out there.
What impressed me most is when one of them asked me to rank, by value to me, the following items: compensation, location, and work-life balance. NO ONE, neither a recruiter nor a prospective employer, has EVER asked me that before. They actually took the time to understand what I wanted, what I could do, and what I was looking for, which I liked.
Hopefully something will come from this, but if not, I have a number of other things that I'm pursuing right now. Some friends of mine are pushing my resume at their places of business and providing referrals to the hiring managers, so I'm hoping to hear something positive in the next few weeks. Only downside to becoming gainfully employed again is I will have less time to hang out here between the hours of 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

This is amazing Richard, I just stunned when they asked you this and this is kind of company that I would gladly worked (I'm retired, if I was looking for a job, I would gladly join them) for them because they took the time to get to know you. To me, ranking this criteria is astounding and that alone makes them an attractive offer and I hope you'll hook up with them.

In the interview process I was asked something similar to this, though I don't remember the exact wording. It wasn't something I've heard before either, so I was surprised. Now a couple months in, and it's working out pretty well. It's a fun, relaxed work environment, and I have a boss who seems actually interested in my opinions and my future with the company. Good jobs are rare, but they can be found. I hope this one (or something even better) works out for you. They'll be lucky to have you.

^^^I hope they'll hire you, Richard. It's always a good feeling when a company tracks you down instead of the other way around. Hopefully this fish won't slip off the hook. In other news, my new landline number has the digits 616 in it, so that really pleases my inner Marvelite.

I'm trying to figure out my work day for tomorrow to allow for some back issue hunting. Browsing the review threads on the Classics board has me wanting to read some stuff.

Heat and humidity overloaded the power grid here it seems and I was without power most of the afternoon. We had no power when I woke up and it wasn't restored until just before I had to leave for work, but I had left the house already before it came back on, but it was on when my wife got home from work a short time later. Now, home form work, just enjoying having working ac again....

One of my customers had the a/c go out and the heat index was 104 outside. The poor guy stood in front of a fan flapping his shirt while we talked.
I didn't stay long !

I'll never complain about the heat. It's the cold that kills me.
I start bundling up in October.
