Kalshane, I'm applying for a wide variety of positions. A lot of them are helpdesk/destop support/pc tech positions. Lately I've been branching out into anything that will let me use my IT skills with my English degree, which would also include being the digital master of all paperwork.

Gotcha. I seem to have misplaced one of the openings I was told about that was more of a drive than I was interested in (I could have sworn I saved the e-mail), but I've got a friend who works for GE Healthcare and he pointed out they have 38 openings for various IT positions in the Chicago area. Might be worth a look if you haven't applied there yet. [link] If I hear about anything else close to/in the city, I'll let you know.

For msbelle, pretty much: I'm just now seeing this, Rob Riggle's debut on TDS: [link]

Ha! The NYT goes awry:

“Brothers and Sisters” has flair, but sometimes less family is more.Lorem ipsum dollor sitt att, consec tteur adipis cing elitt, 10 a diam no nummy nim euismod ttincinditt laorett dollore man 20 a aliquam eratt voluttpatt. Utt wisi enim ad minim veniam, qui30 nosttrud exerci ttattion ullam corper suscipitt lobor (1”) nis 40 aliquip ex ea commodo conqse quatt.

It's sort of like latin, but certainly "nummy" is not a latin word. From [link] It goes on for 3 pages!

That's weird that they have changed up the standard lorem ipsum placeholder text. Spaces and word counts, it looks like.

And funny as hell that they've published it.

There's a standard lorem ipsum placeholder text? Tell me more!

flea, [link]

I can't count the number of times I've gotten design sketches back with the comment "but isn't the text supposed to be in English?"

Lorem ipsum is more or less Latin gibberish to begin with. Funny.

I can't count the number of times I've gotten design sketches back with the comment "but isn't the text supposed to be in English?"

Heh, yes. But still better than getting it back with placeholder text all marked up and no comment on design.

Which means Eureka's ending...well, too soon.

Hopefully only temporarily.

Catching up on the second of my TiVo's Inspector Lynley mysteries.

There are new ones!?! Damnit. My pbs was in pledge drive hell mode, so the listings were pretty much all TBA. Damnit.

I had two on my TiVo, sarameg. I'd even forgotten how the last series had ended. It was so very English--the idea that in a cop show a cop in the aftermath of a shooting would be not only skittish around guns but getting a bunch of money from her employers. In US cop shows, you just shake that stuff off.

Watched GA. As a recent hyperventilator and a less recent faintee I got scared for him because of what he might hit or rip out on the way down. Not fun.

Okay, gross Yahoo ad where this woman learns about a fertilizer online that has her garden bursting with blossoms. And then a dog digs himself out of the flowerbed and the little girl exclaims "You're alive!"

Dude. Pet Sematary. Don't use the Native American fertilizer. Never ends well.
