so many online job application sites SUCK! I could do a great service to a great many companies by troubleshooting these sites and working with their developers to getthem fixed. good googaly moogaly. Site1 would just freeze up if you entered something in a field that did not meet their requirements (like dates needed to be YYYY/MM/DD), but the requirements WERE NOT GIVEN!
Site2 just had me go through a big long job search form and then proceeded to show me jobs NONE OF WHICH WERE IN LOCATIONS I CHOSE!
Jesusita people.
They do suck, msbelle. I had two that refused to accept my perfectly valid email address a few weeks ago.
You could fix so many things in this world, msbelle. There needs to be an All-Purpose Fixer position. Paid by, I don't know, us masses?
Love the apple pictures.
Suzi, my goal is also to venture outside today!
I'm watching Off the Map and yeah, annoying. There are so many Spanish speakers in the US now that Peace Corps doesn't place anyone in those countries that doesn't already speak it. We're to believe that this is a highly competitive application process and they accept people who can't even count in Spanish, much less have any of the specialized vocabulary a doctor needs? Ok.
Off the Map is sounding more and more like a great choice for when I'm sitting around drinking wine tonight and trying not to think about the black hole of work I'm about to drop into starting next week. Thanks guys!
I mean, who doesn't know the word "gringo?" NB: there are other annoying things, I'm just stuck on the language right now. I've never taken Spanish, but I recognize the words for "thirteen," "whitey," and "wife." (Okay, I have learned three other Romance languages, but still.)
Off The Map might turn out to be the sort of cheese that irritates me so strongly that I can't keep going, even though I like a couple of the cast members a fair amount.
Maybe if I'd grown up poorer or richer it wouldn't be so bad, but I feel kinda oddly fetishised right now.
serial: I found it interesting what they didn't translate. The male patient's speech at the end went untranslated. Was the assumption that we all know what
"Ayude a mi familia"
(errors because my Spanish was a long time ago) means?
Well, I did my nails, and with the quick-dry coat, I can now do laundry and treadmill and still get ready for work at 1p. Still annoyed with work people, except for the one who is being flexible and accommodating. Love that. I just need to be more of a hardass, probably. But that's so exhausting. People just need to behave, is what.

Seriously that's just stuff you should know from living in the world.
