Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I went to bed relatively early so that I would be up bright and early to go vote - which I did. My polling place was pretty busy but not crowded. The sidewalks were of the suck: wet, slushy and icy. But I suspect that they will be more icy than not later on because our high temperature today was this morning.
Happy Birthday Victor!
Huh. And now I know. In my defense, I had figured out it was about throwing bits of paper.
Nowadays, we just use regular shredded paper, though.
flea & Theodosia - He's been working in database applications/dev, but he also has a background in biology and worked at Red Cross for a while. I don't think he's much networking, which is odd because he is most definitely not shy. Although he hates asking for help, so I suppose that's why.
Oh, and I don't think he's seeing someone right now because of the move & insurance stuff, but yeah, he has gotten treatment.
I'm relieved that I don't sound like a callous jerk, at least. And yeah, a chat over coffee isn't possible but I'm sure we'll talk later this week on the phone, so I'll do a mood-check and see if I can administer a nudge, at least. Thanks to you both!
There should totally be a Buffista advice column.
There should totally be a Buffista advice column.
I call it natter!
Correction: There should be a syndicated Buffistas advice column, so that others could benefit from the collective wisdom.
...Although that might be called "COMM."
One day, I want someone to throw me a ticker tape parade.
Ignore headhunters; they're a waste of time.
Not necessarily. I know my brother (who does something to do with data libraries?...mumbly mumbly techie/management type...anyway he's at Social Security now) has used headhunters several times successfully.
Speaking of that brother. He's not at Social Security today he's at the hospital still waiting for his baby to be born. They've been in since Sunday night. Come on, Baby Niece!!!!
I was all excited because phone just rang but it was NC brother calling to see if I'd heard anything this morning.
Jars, you don't live in New York City, either. You totally get a pass!

I was going to ask his field, but I see it now. I don't think they're a waste of time. They got me my last two gigs, and when I though of marking my salary down, they wouldn't stand for it, and got me decent money. Plus they could leverage previous relationships with the companies too.
