Msbelle, you have experts on your team. You couldn't ask for better help.
The guy who drew the full colour ballpoint pictures answered my random "can I repost your art somewhere" dA note, as well as answering a couple questions about his stuff. It never ceases to amaze the level of connection that the internet can put at our fingertips. The learning opportunities are amazing. I saw a car today with the bumper sticker (among many, including handwritten signs taped to the window) saying "webs are for spiders." I'm not sure what the message is supposed to be there...are there significant pockets of people who think the WWW is so bad that other people shouldn't use it either? I did want to suggest to her that she use the internet to get slicker stickers, though. Zazzle would fix her right up. Her and Comic Sans would be a match made in heaven.
I'm trying to work out how much is too much when it comes to drawing random shit, and I think the sushi chef at lunch is perfectly fine, but trying to draw a woman wearing a subnet mask yesterday might have been a call for help. Also, really zero visual payoff. Sad on multiple levels.
Speaking of sad, I wonder if Ben Affleck is philosophical when he looks back at stuff like
Paycheck.
Because twenty minutes of that was really horrible. And many of the other actors were acting well.
So, out of 30 teams, my A's have the 29th lowest payroll. Sigh.
AND they're the reigning AL West champs.
(Do online application systems even call for cover letters? I don't know that world.)
I've barely seen any resumes come through with cover letters the last couple of years. HR may see them I guess, since mine go through an initial screen. But it seems unlikely that they wouldn't pass them on.
Very small sample warning.
Passover is officially over in the Pacific timezone, so I am having the chametziest thing I could come up with - toast with cookie butter. Yum.
It's leavened spread on leavened bread, if they really start with cookies.
The ingredients list a "raising agent", so your phrase seems apt!
Wait, I saw that movie.
I know. I know. The season in the movie is 2002. It is 2013. Nothing has changed. Ok, cause I'm a number's person I had to look it up. In 2002 the A's were 28 out of 30, so one position higher. Over the last 11 years, the A's payroll has increased by 40%. Over the same period the Yankees payroll increased by 57%. (Yes, I take this all too seriously, I know).
A side note - in looking this up, I saw that the Astros were 14th in 2002 and are currently 28th. Their payroll is actually less than it was in 2002. Yikes!
Accckkk. I killed Natter with numbers. Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 ate 9 OF COURSE.
