The difference a suit makes

**B+O** · 09-27-07, 07:47 PM

Okay, the long and short of it is, i needed to get something worked out with school as well as at an architectural firm, plus go to class, AND babysit these people known as "group members" I'm doing most of the work as they can't seem to get anything done without me stepping in. ANNOY!

anyway, so while i was getting those "somethings" worked out, i ended up in the Dean's office at my University. normally students are brushed away...matter of factly one of my female friends got just the "hello" nod from the Dean himself as he excused himself for some tea

Well, i was sitting there waiting to speak to him or at least set an appointment with him as he was in a meeting with someone else. On his way back He noticed me sitting there patiently like and felt Obligated to ask "OH...hey are you waiting for me? How an i help you?"

damn i was hyped up to know he made someone else wait in order to find out what my problem was. I addressed him seeming like a concerned 3rd party. Got him really interested and he wanted to speak with me immediately...That said, i couldn't see him that time and he asked if i would wait. I said i could come back and he made a B line for his assistant and told her to set up a meeting time for him.

Looking important is an essential part of Successful Business

SO when i got home i decided great, i'll cook up something I already thawed the chicken might as well make a meal...Plus since i'm getting sick and tension is causing me to retain weight (been puttin back on the 20 lbs i lost) i might as well cook something.

Anyway, cooked a nice little meal...Sucks, since i'm nasal and stuffy headed i couldn't taste it

never been Rastafari, i did believe in some of the ideals (no not smoking "ganja"). But i've since come to realize it doesn't matter who's his son or his underling, it's only him that matters. He who is called I AM!

But anyways, thanks

LOL nice!

Suits FTMFW.

The last couple of times I've worn a suit to an interview, while the other kids come in wearing khakis and a button-up, not only do the higher-ups actually really like me (had a meeting with the Senior Vice President of Operations, as well as the Director of Underwriting for my job interview a year ago), they tell me "You look great, but you don't have to dress that business formal for this job..."

and ROFLMAO @ your "garnish"... dude ran outside, picked a couple of leaves off a bush, ripped em up, and sprinkled em all over the plate. How long did it take you to brush all of that shit off?

QBoroLegend · 09-27-07, 08:09 PM

1. You look like my bro in law - serious.

2. Yeah, a suit really does it for the brothers - I keep trying to stress that to those trying to find gainful employment - I cannot stand the whole, khaki-tie-dress shirt-doorag-black jordans thing, but hey.

3. I have a commanding presence anyway (the way I carry myself), so when I have a suit on, it just looks like I am running things. In a suit, the guy figured you were someone important and had something worth listening to, because frankly in general, important people who have something worth listening to, generally have suits on.

On another note: Maybe it's my complexion or my size or something, but I cannot pull off the whole "black suit/black shirt-tie" thing without looking like a body guard or something and I like the whole dark suit/shirt/tie look. But it makes me look unfriendly. Kudos. Peace.

NZ_Legend · 09-27-07, 08:25 PM

+1 on a suit making a difference. Last time I wore one I definitely felt like I was treated better (including being noticed by more of the ladies). I've always wanted to rock on up to the local Bentley dealership in a suit and see if I could score a test drive

. Haven't tried it yet.

ps. nice meal but you've gotta put a bit more spice on that chicken. I mean you took off the skin so most of the taste is gone anyway

. Give it some of that hot sauce action (or chilli sauce as we call it down here).

I agree with everyone. The person in the suit is always taken seriously.

do it man, it works, me and mike(20michael03) went to acura one morning while i was getting oil change, and he has the CIA type headsets, the ones with the coil, and im like 6'6 240lbs, so im wearing that, and hes this lil asian kid, the salesman asked what was up with the ear piece, and i go "security" and mikes all in a suit and shit, with a briefcase, it was hilarious, we took a brand new TL out for a spin.

but i also went to Infiniti and took a G35 coupe out for an overnight test drive.

i guess im in there age demographic for that vehicle. i tore it up and returned it "sorry, insurance is too high" which it was.

nice Jason, shit, if wearing a suit will make people just give you money, im gonna wear one everyday. lol

BigD · 09-28-07, 11:18 AM

I can't stand a suit or tie....it helps in business (where image often takes the frontseat to ability), but I feel like a tool wearing one.

QBoroLegend · 09-28-07, 01:04 PM

Were all tools, mainly because most of us depend on someone else for our livelyhood. Shoot, even Bill Gates is tool to his shareholders.

However, if you offset the toolness by convincing someone to give you wads of cash because you just happen to look like you know what to do with a dollar, then tool on brother, tool on.
