Well, I applied for the position.  Also, they asked where I heard about it, so I replied it was suggested to me by one of their employees.  They may be calling you, so you can tell them I'm an asshole. 

[Bull]

For which job? The workmans comp rep?

[pnickers]

[homesystem]

Do workmen's comp reps have to go to court hearings and shit?  Cause maybe you'll have a run-in with the Razor.
