Maybe take a look at the town's codes and by-laws. See where they might differ greatly from typical Texas Municipal law. See where they might be vulnerable for litigation. The job (or part of the job) of the city attorney is to protect the town against legal action, no? Why not get a head start?"Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"

Good idea. Plus, I found out there is a hot issue presently with a tax increment reinvestment zone.Originally posted by Long John View Post

so, what happened?"You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

He went out and got a straight shave... barber slipped and there was just to much blood flow to save him.....It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

Shave and be employed. Don't shave and be unemployed. Guess which one I'd choose.Originally posted by Steve View Post
In order to get a role I really wanted in a play I was in this summer, I complied with the director's expressed wish that I shave my more-salt-than-pepper mustache. It took at least 15 years off my appearance, so I've kept it off since the show closed in August. I'm still 57, overweight, and mostly bald, but at least I don't look 60-65 now. I've also noticed that attractive women treat me differently; I'm viewed as a friendly uncle type instead of like some grandfather.
So my advice is to shave, and if you get the job, grow the mustache back after you start. Then move up to a goatee if no one makes a big deal of it, then the beard. But you may find that you like how you look with less or no facial hair.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

Update...
Lost 27 pounds, bought a new "modern fitting" suit.
Shaved the beard.
Between the weight and the beard, several people told me I looked younger than my 57.
Had great interviews, felt confident. I had studied everything about what was going on in the City, and nailed the questions. Even the guy running the job search for them said I fit the candidate profile perfectly.
They selected a woman who was much younger and had 22 fewer years experience.Comment

sorry to hear. the only consolation might be that if they are the kind of people who chose to go that way for seemingly superficial reasons, then if you had got the job you probably would have found yourself repeatedly in situations where your values were not aligning with theirs.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

So in the end it was your cleavage or lack there of that was the deciding factor and not the beard. Should have kept the weight on and used a push up bra.

Lucky, sorry to hear about the job interview. You will do great in your next one and the 27 lbs was amazing work. Keep up the positive attitude and hopefully things work out sooner rather than later.Comment

Yes, you've already won the "annual RJ Weight Loss Thread" for 2013-14 before it even occurred.
You clearly have analyzed this all suberbly, and the next employer will quickly realize they are damn lucky to have you.
I wonder, if you feel it was sincere, if you can have the "oh you were perfect" guy as a reference next time around.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
