Thank-you!!
Just added a Black Oyster Perpetual 114200 to the collection. I just love the classic, simple, clean, symmetrical look of the no date.

My FedEx station delivers to the Jets here in NJ. Not a lot of equipment - mostly marketing crap.

BA in Economics from a UC in the 90s.

Funny story related to degrees and schools. Sitting around a table with my colleagues during lunch doing the usual thing, just shooting the breeze about random things. The new guy was introducing himself and of course one of the questions was related to schooling. Where'd you go undergrad and grad? Yale and MIT was the answer.

I looked around the table and realized that there was the following there: Masters in CS from USC, MBA from Chicago, MBA from UNC, MBA from Berkeley, Masters from don't recall, Dual BS from UPenn (finance and CS), probably a couple others I'm forgetting.

Bottom line is that I had an undergrad from a UC (not even going to name which one since it's not Cal, UCLA, or UCSD) and everyone else not only had advanced degrees but from top tier institutions as well.

Mentioned that I was an underachiever compared to everyone else to my coworker next to me and he laughed. He said, "Maybe, but we're all in the same positions basically. So what does that say about us?" :P I had to chuckle as I told him he should be in marketing with his ability to spin.

No date sub and batman, on the hunt for a SEL, no hole GMT (16710?)

After getting caught cheating in order to pass my high school finals, the school let me graduate to keep their graduation stats high.

No college degree, just bought root beer
