I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

BBCA question: Was there a second season/series of Viva Blackpool? Tivo caught one for me that a) I haven't seen before, and b) doesn't match the summary of any of the episodes described on the BBCA episode guide.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Congrats, Lyra Jane!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bah. I wrote a whole reply to Consuela, and then the site crapped out for a minute. To recreate: I don't know about #1, because I'm assuming that you don't want to look overqualified? For #2, I'd just talk about the immediately preceeding question. Is there no rhyme or reason to which questions have the followup? I'd figure those were the more important questions. #3, I'd talk about any time you're mediating between different functions. From my own experience, I'd talk about coordinating/disseminating/gathering information from different internal departments, as well as being a key contact for a vendor.

Thanks, Jesse, that seems sensible. I'm all worried about this one because I'd really really like to get the job.

It would get rid of the ickiest parts of what I do, would allow me to ride my bike to work, and would allow me to work a 9/80 workweek--thus getting every other Friday off. Given that I already work 45-50 hour weeks, this would be a huge improvement in my quality-of-life.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am guessing that with the first part - it is safe to say supervisory - because the word expert is used - so it claims the higest level of knowledge. howevr, you might want to mix a 4 in - if you haven't supervised somedoing that in awhile , or just started superviseing for a balance thing.

in this part( 2nd question) are thing so unrelated that they don't fit together? is there a way to emphsise the parts you know well in a coherent narrative?

and I'l go with Jesse on part 3, since I had no answer of my own.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jesse, there was a stand-alone Blackpool special last season in England, whchc is probably what you've Tivoed off of BBCA.

BTW, it is a happy day. I am reading a book - I was going to make brownies - and found a truffe brownie mix from TJs. It is very good ( i never buy brownie mixes) easy and good . and there are still ingredients to make brownies from scratch in the cupboard.

Last night I met a woman that hates to eat the food in the pantry- because it means she has to go get more. In the case of brownies , it almost makes sense. except then there would be no brownies

I need to go to TJ's, and to the bike shop, but I really need to finish this application. Argh. I so hate doing resumes and applications!

Oops, sorry!
