'Objects In Space'
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.
Gah, Cash! That's madness. I'm sorry.
I just had to put my foot down to a recruiter who wanted me to lie on my resume. And a stupid lie too. He wanted me to say I'd done things at my last job that I'd actually done in the ones before. WTF? I told him to not submit me if he didn't want to, but I wouldn't lie.
Sheesh, Cash, how did you ever come out of that family?
I took the best genes and left the shitty ones behind.
Is there an organization similar to Al-Anon for the partners of problem gamblers?
I wish Dad would get some counseling on his own--if just to cope with the issues. He handles it by drinking. *shrug* I offer him my advice but he's not going to change anything after 48 years of marriage, sadly.
job~ma, juliana. I hope you find something much better suited to your needs and with a nicer boss.
The counter-demonstration had a woman with a sign saying "Cthulhu Hates Chordates." Heh.
That's utter perfection.
I have ran my butt off this afternoon--mailing a package, buying comics and taking Olivia to get her hair cut. We also got some chocolately comfort sot there's that!
ita, that makes no sense whatsoever!

Is there a position that requires "Must have done X at last position"?
Last year, vise-grip manufacturer Irwin held a contest called "Tell Us Your Vise-Grip Story" where people share their personal experience of using the tool. They’ve chosen 3 finalists, one of which is this one by Bryan from Chesapeake, VA:
As a US Navy spine surgeon, I routinely deal with dozens of different types of screws, rods and bolts that have been implanted into the spine. Each manufacturer has their own unique tools to insert and remove their specific hardware. While deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I did not have access to these specialized tools. I did however have some Vise-Grips that could be sterilized and used to emergently remove the screws and rods from this infected solider’s spine.
Damn. Cool yet disturbing.

These are genius.
ita, sounds like a functional resume as opposed to a chronological one might be the answer. That is, if you really wanted the job. I get so sad when I think of you moving back to Jamaica, even though I've never met you face-to-face. I know that makes me silly.
Cashmere, I didn't know your mother was a compulsive gambler. Runs in my family and it sucks. I'm sorry hon.
The recruiter called back and asked for an introductory note asking for my experience in the fields required. I find a lot of these recruiters want me to parrot the language in the job req. I hate to think I'm being too naive thinking that people looking to hire actually read resumes--I know I did, and my experience is really clearly and extensively laid out. 3/4 of the resume talks about what the recruiter's interested in--just not all up front. Still, on the first page.

I'm not calling you silly! I don't want to go back either.
DH's flight home has been cancelled and Owen got off the bus feeling sick.
I didn't buy enough chocolate.
