    The Civil Engineering Co. I work for has about 40 job openings.....They just told everyone here that they are offering $4k finders fee for Project Managers.
    I'm taking this to mean....that all the extra time I use cruising the net while at work.....I could spend that time finding peeps that want jobs...?

    I'm thinking Craig's list.....Monster.....Prius Chat forums......everywhere I hang out.

    Anyone have any good ideas how I should promote this?

    Civil Engineering/Project Manager forums?

    :D

    Oh, what about advertising it on your Prius? Particularly if you commute on some seriously crowded highways...

    hmm, maybe contact an appropriate recruiter and offer to split the fee?

    Pimp the competitors...

    college boards for recent civil engineering grads?

    dang it. i was hoping for a tip or 2 on how to get some more money.

    well here's my 2 cents.

    plan to make money:

    1. buy black clothing, including ski mask
    2. borrow a gun
    3. find a bank with lots of money
    4. prius= getaway car

    i do not endorse this plan, use at your own risk. don't sue me if you get caught.

    :lol:

    I envision a freeway chase ensuing, and being filmed by the local news chopper. One by one the cop cars begin to sputter and lurch and finally run out of gas. The robber looks in his rear view mirror and can see the news chopper making an emergency landing on the freeway while the television audience hears the Mayday calls and sees images of the flashing low fuel warning light. Realizing he has outrun the cops the robber starts high fiving himself starts thinking of all the ways he's going to spend his money. He glances in the rear view mirror one more time and sees... a Driftwood Pearl Prius gaining on him driven by off duty Schmika.

    Realizing it is inevitable Schmika will catch up, the robber dials a particular number on her cell phone. Seconds later, Schmika exclaims, "What the hell?!!" as he gets brazenly passed by a hooligan on a rice-rocket doing a wheelie, he puts the bike down by her driver's side window, she hands him the loot, and the crazy guy on the motorcycle punches it into the 160 range, and disappears into the horizon...

    As nice as it is to look at, I wouldn't want that "Extra Power" kit on my car.
    It looks too heavy, aerodynamically inefficient, and would most likely lower my MPGs.
    Besides, I wouldn't want to continually replace a bent aluminum hood and broken right headlight.
    That Amazon busted her knee clean through the acrylic headlight housing! :eek:
    She's a little too much woman for my tastes. :mellow:

    I'm willing to bet galaxee is one of the following four names:

    Laurie (Laurie is my best guess out of all 4)
    Melissa
    Sue, or Kate
    (I'm tempted to say "Jen", but you don't look like a Jen)
