I'm in Chicago.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

Thanks, lisah and everyone else!
I'm just too pessimistic about job-searching. But I know I'm being overly-pessimistic so I just have to make myself go through the job hunt anyway.

A question: How are resumes usually submitted? In a Word doc? PDF?
I'm trying to decide if I should buy Word for my MacBook Pro.

Usually PDF, though occasionally I see them in Word. I'd go with the former.

PDF helps you avoid unfortunate changes if the recipient has a different set up than you.
You might want to check university website job postings. They don't tend to pay as well as corporate, but they can be pretty steady (especially if they have a good endowment) and enjoyable, with good benefits. The University of Chicago or NorthWestern might have something.

Sorry about the job situation, Tom.
I forgot to check the bottle of ibuprofen I packed, and just discovered it's almost empty. The 24 pill bottle I just bought at an airport kiosk was $12.

Yeah, id go with pdf for a resume.
Is there a word for when you have to change your password and then keep putting the old one in because you are so used to it? There should be.

This happened to me at Midway recently and at two separate kiosks they had no painkillers at all that weren't nighttime version. I ended up taking an alka seltzer I had in the bottom of my bag.
