Yay for Oz findage!!

Megan, I'm worried about exactly the same thing. My bachelor's degree is from 1988, and having that on my resume gets me nervous.

ION, I just filed my taxes, and between the fed and the state, I only owe $175 total, which, considering I've owed in the $600+ range in the past few years, I'm very happy with!! Now I can apply the rest of my savings account to my trip to Vegas and then my summer class (Archiving, for any librarians out there who might be interested).

and also taking off education dates if college was over 10 years ago.

Yep, I had to take the education dates off my resume because it just made me too damn old for their consideration.

FYI, that link to the Disney Princesses, perhaps coincidentally, coincided with a massive virus attack on my work machine, which triggered visits from supervisors and company IT people, who looked at me like "You're tech support and you're clicking on links? How are you so stupid?" This website is blocked during normal working hours anyway, and I access it through the alt address, so I told them I clicked on something in my email from a trusted source, and got the "You're not supposed to be accessing your personal email on work computers" talk. My usual computer is still not working, so I don't know how far the repercussions will go.

So maybe something that was lurking chose just then to blow up on me. Did anyone else get anything at all weird on their systems? I've got Win 7 Anti-Spyware popping up every few seconds, it won't let any internet windows come up in IE or Firefox, and they've already recreated my user profile. They are not pleased with me.

Connie, Erin Obscure also complained about the Deviantart link.

I admit I followed the link (which I don't usually do at work), and I got no problems, but then my workstation is so completely locked down for security reasons, I would be really surprised if anything got through.

Sorry for the problems -- I clicked the link, and I browse around deviantArt all the time and never have a problem.

I have had attacks from Deviantart too, though not on every picture.

Whoa. Wm. Donald Schaefer died. (Probably only of note to Marylanders. He was an institution, not always for the better.)

Connie, i restarted and no problems since then. I'm pretty trusting of the valid spyware and firewalls here at work.

Sigh. Weather for the next few days precludes doing the exterior door. I really don't want rain on fresh prime or paint. Frustrated.

My windows are open and I can hear neighbors greeting each other. I love this place.

Aw, Daisy, that was so sweet.

How do I found out who produced the video for "Love is Free" ?

I'm pretty sure the last time I saw a video on MTV, they listed the director on the screen with the artist/song/slbum stuff. If that helps at all.

PSA for anyone unfortunate enought to use IE, that link to the historically accurate Disney Princess outfits triggered one of those irritating "you have 16 gazillion viruses, worms, and trojan horses!" msgs trying to strong arm me into buying fake virus protection.

Yeah, IE just closed down for me on that one.

I came across multiple sites with advice that suggested taking off experience over 15 years old unless it was super relevant (okay, that made some sense), and also taking off education dates if college was over 10 years ago. Does that make sense too? I am applying to tech companies and I wonder about the age thing. But then if you take it off, does it seem even worse?

Wow, 10 years? I would guess it depends on the kind of job you're applying for. I'm sure they wouldn't consider me for my boss's job, because I'm not old enough, but another department just hired a guy pretty high up, but in interactive, who is ~10 years younger than me. So.
