Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Cereal - I don't have Micrsoft Office on my computer (I never bought it) but I was wondering are there any free or low cost online courses I could take to learn the Microsoft Office Suite without actually having it on my computer?

Tim Burton Will Have Creepy Balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving Parade:

YAY! Awww, look Tim: Mainstream media, still courting you! Now go do a really good job on Dark Shadows, okay? Not like what happened with Alice In Wonderland.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Is this Dark Shadows in any way connected to the '60s daytime soap?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The temp agency submitted another resume and that person and less overall experience but had working knowledge of Publisher and Power Point which is why the non profit went with them.

Does your temp agency offer training in some software programs? When I got out of college, I was actually a Kelly Girl, and they offered some training, though not much. It was enough, though, that I could fumble my way through Excel (or was it Lotus Notes? anyone remember that one?) well enough to be sent on jobs that required proficiency in that software. And if you got a little training and got sent on jobs that used that software, you'd rack up the experience with it pretty quickly.

Yesssss. Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins. Tim Burton + Johnny Depp + vampires = total Jilli-bait.

askye, libraries will sometimes run training sessions on computer software -- can you check to see if any of the libraries near you are offering any workshops? Or local continuing education centers, maybe?

oh ... I watched the original Dark Shadows when it was new. My first year of college, it was so popular that, since it came on during the hours allotted to labs, there would be one designated lab person and everyone else would go up to the nearest dorm and watch it there, then return.

My library doesn't (and the temp agency doesn't either) but I'll look and see if there are any options in Burlington.

My Mom watched it when I was tiny. I'm pretty sure it was my first exposure to vampires and spooky stuff, and I always teased Mom that it was ultimately her doing that I turned out this way.
