Kappy | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:19 pm     He's listed as being a "headhunter". Has anyone ever heard him discussing his job with the HG's? Just curious. |
Twiggyish | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:23 pm     Nope. I wonder what kind of head he hunts? (j/k) |
Kappy | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:29 pm     LOL ~ That's just it . . . I keep wondering "Does he even really have a job?" LOL. |
Willsfan | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:40 pm     Must not pay all that well. He didn't have the money for the plane ticket - RE: the conversation about Ali loaning him the money. (not his ex but another Alison. It wasn't clear who did but some people said BB paid it.) |
Chy | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:44 pm     Ah! Are Headhunters only paid by commission? Maybe he's a newbie. Justin talks about wrestling and how bad+stupid Alison is. That's my impression of him. |
Kappy | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:46 pm     Thanks all . . I thought I was just missing something here. |
Bohawkins | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:47 pm     I just don't think that Justin is full of himself. He just doesn't think that the world centers around him, like Nathan and Alison and Robert have shown. Jason seems to be a modest and very straightforward guy. Guys like that don't bore others with inflated tales about their boring jobs |
Chy | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:48 pm     Bo, nevermind. |
Kappy | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:55 pm     Let Jason go, Bo, just let him go . . . He is in the past . . . snickering |
Bohawkins | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 09:06 pm     Kappy.. I meant Justin.. but for some reason I keep calling him Jason. The J-n messes with my mind. |
Woodpecke® | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 09:09 pm     I never talk about my job, so I don't find it odd. When I am home, work is not a priority. |
Cliotheleo | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 10:36 pm     BUt he's talking about moving out with Robert to CA. He must not be too commited to it, whatever it is. |
Meli456 | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 11:32 pm     I heard him talking about his job on the feeds one night. He works for an agency that places executives with million dollar salaries and the agency (and he) takes their percentage of the first year salary. |
Kappy | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 11:34 pm     Thanks, Meli . . . I just can't picture someone of his age doing that job but there's no reason for him to lie about it either. |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 03:58 am     If he has a commission job, that's why he might not have ready money. He only gets paid if he places someone. Very insecure type of work! Thanks for the info, because I was wondering too, since we haven't heard much about him compared to the others. :-) |
Philamom | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 04:28 am     I think there have been very few BB contestants who have held "real" jobs. In a way, I guess that makes sense ... I don't know how many companies would hold someone's position open while they spent 3 months on a game show. I'm trying to remember all the contestants who had real jobs -- I think it was George and Cassandra from BB1; maybe Bunky and Kent from BB2; Dani from BB3; Jack (well, retired, but he writes), and maybe Dana and Jun from BB4. I'm sure I'm forgetting some people. But probably only about 1/3 of the HGs have had real jobs. |
Idlechitchat | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:03 am     Gerry was a teacher. I'm a teacher too, so trust me, that is a real job. |
Philamom | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:07 am     LOL, Idle, I completely forgot about Gerry. I knew there were people I was missing. I didn't mean to ignore the teachers. |
Twinkie | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:28 am     I don't think George from BB1 really had a job. He was a roofer who's business had taken a downward spiral. |
Idlechitchat | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:43 am     LOL No problem phil. I'm just watching the end of my summer woosh away and preparing for the new school year, so it was on my mind. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:14 am     I'm not sure what we are considering "real" jobs. Didn't Krista work as a waitress, and Monica managed her candy store? Or are we only counting jobs in a corporate environment? Eric had a real job, as we know he almost lost his job at the fire station because of his BB time. And he still has the exact same job today. I think that's very admirable. I bet if he went all Hollywood like some of the others that he could do alright. And I don't think Dani had a real job. She worked in marketing or something like that but I'm pretty sure that when she told her company that she was going on BB, they fired her. |
Bcarter | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:22 am     "He was a roofer who's business had taken a downward spiral." And the LAST thing you want is a downwardly spiralling roof.... |
Philamom | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:27 am     You're right, crazydog, about Erik -- I knew I wouldn't remember everyone. Sorry to all the firemen! I thought Dani's job was "real" -- she lost it when she went to BB, which is probably an indication that it was a real job to begin with. I'm not sure what falls into the category of "real" jobs -- I admit to being a little skeptical about the waiters, bartenders, etc. I guess it's from seeing too many of my children's friends (who are in their 20s) have these kinds of jobs. They bartend a couple of nights a week and call it a job. They don't make enough money to support themselves (most get help from their parents -- or worse, their girlfriends/boyfriends), so I guess that's why I have trouble with it. I know there are waitresses and bartenders who work full time and make a decent living doing it, but I just personally don't know any of them. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:36 am     That's right, I guess Dani did have a real job. I think Chiara had a real job as well. I think she answered phones or did some kind of marketing, but it definitely was in some kind of office environment. And Curtis was a lawyer, wasn't he? I'd love to know how he got time off from that job. |
Amchess | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:38 am     Curtis was to start his job as an Asst State Attorney after BB, wasn't he? |
