Found a hub cap tucked away under the basement stairs in the new house. I am not a car guy at all. Anyone recognize anything? Or even the make of car?

It's from a 1969 Buick Skylark. (Not bad for a UK member eh?)

not From A Buick 8?

[stroppygoblin]

No I knew it was a Buick and was quite hopeful actually... Would have been a great find for a King fan if it had been

Bad news :
- i asked on abebooks to a seller (Better World Books, which I am sure, many people know as a) to give me the printing date of a book for which I am looking for a 1st /1st. Not King related. And obviously it was too good : i was told february of 1991 was really important to me. Was told published in 1991. When asked the month i was told february. Reminded of february of 1991 being important, and what do i recieve? february of 1993.... fuck off !
Even if the book did only cost me like 5€, I would have ordered it if i knew !

Good news :
I had a new job offer. By proposal i mean 3 job interviews and a real offer which I will accept as this is what I asked! I will therefore earn another 250€ per months (over 13 months), with numerous advantages, including the location : literally 30mins by walk, 10mins on a bus.
This is a real luxury when living / working near Paris !

Really excited about this opportunity. I have been looking for a new job for over 2 years (doing countless interviews with companies / recruitment agencies), but looking for something interesting. Not just another company for changing job. And I feel that I will learn a LOT in this one, including skills that will be important for a web project that me and a few friends are working on !

Will meet the HR within the next few days and then it's time to quit my current job!

Shit about the book but great news about the job, Jeremy. Congratulations!

Yesterday's BAD news was : i recieved the wrong book, after being told that a seller have a 1st /1st of a book I am interested in.
>>> The seller replied that they sent the wrong book my mistake and are going to send me the correct one immediately. >>> therefore turning into a GOOD news.

Yesterday's GOOD news was : i recieved an offer for a position that I am very interested in, and I accepted the offer.
>>> This morning I sent an email saying basically that I was very happy with the offer and asking a few questions for the human ressources which are legitimate (I cannot tell you everything, but let's just say that it's not really a 'normal' recruitment).
>>> Tonight, the boss calls me and tells me that my email made him think that I seem to "follow procedures" which is fine in itself as help being rigorous, but is wondering if i would be able to perform in this fast paced environment. (Which I am, trust me, I am currently working for a major mass-market retailer (let's call it a french equivalent of wal-mart). Therefore he invites me to come to another interview on monday morning with him and a colleague. >>> Therefore the offer is a standby I guess. >>> Therefore it is turning into a BAD news.
For fuck sake !
Still have some alcohol from last night's celebration (although I didnt fully celebrate as I prefer waiting to have signed something before doing so. Which seem even more relevant now). Monday seem quite far..............

Wow, Jeremy, sometimes it seems you just can't catch a break.

Did you know he is also the artist behind the Captain Morgan logo?

He's doing the Lord's good work then, spiced rum is practically all I drink.

I recently got a mix up/wrong edition from Better World Books too but in my case the edition they sent me was better than the one I had ordered. I wonder if they are often mixing up editions/orders if they're just off this week. Also I hope everything works out OK for you with the job, good luck!

I dont know but this is definitely their fault.
After exchanging emails with the customer service when asked the printing date, I asked HOW I could make sure that they sent me the RIGHT COPY.
I mentionned it again when I purchased the book, but apparently that wasn't enough.
Cant wait to recieve the "right" copy !
