I think that means you're supposed to hang out on b.org all day, Jesse.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If only! I'm afraid it means I am supposed to actually work. Where's the fun in that?

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
I am sooooo sorry, ita! I must've been sleeping like the dead, 'cause my bedroom window is literally directly above the intercom system and that thing usually wakes me up all the time when people use it in the middle of the night. :-( I'm glad Burrell was able to rescue you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Polgara, I'm just impressed anyone can sleep through anything--I ended up sleeping in Frannie's bed, and they just scooped her up and moved her and she looked sleepy as shit. No worries--it all worked out.
EXCEPT MY INTERVIEW HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO ELEVEN. I AM FREAKING OUT. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE HARD, TECHNICAL, CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE ONE.

Good luck, ita!
This whole job hunt thing continues to drain my soul. Still less than the job was, but the whole holiday time while unemployed is making me sad. And vaguely panicked, because hiring's slowed down, and by the time it picks up, if it does, I'll be near the end of my unemployment benefits.
How do you guys find recruiters? When you're job hunting, what do you do? I've sort of run out of networking in my circle, as most of the employed people I know work at my old company, and none of the rest work in places that have jobs that fit the bill.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Lots of job~ma!
Looks like I will be learning Visual Basic, at least enough to be the designated Excel Macro guru for our department. Whee? Should make for something like job security for a little while, I suppose.
Ugh, headache is currently beating my Aleve, and I have to keep the miniutes for my next meeting. Bleh.

How do you guys find recruiters?
I used LinkedIn, and friended every recruiter they suggested and sent out my resumes to them as soon as I got permission.
At least one of those has been very useful, although the company that's gotten me this far with interviews was just a suggestion from someone at work.
Seriously--just google local recruiters and slam 'em all.
I can't breathe I'm so nervous. I have promised myself pizza no matter how it goes. And the nice pizza that doesn't deliver.

You can do it, ita!!
So I restarted my browser and it seems to have solved my problems.
