Another CV sent. Same company, different position...


Automated "we received your application" email came so at least I haven't messed the address...


Good luck Drejk. Job hunting is in my top 10 "I hate doing this!!!" list.


~thinks~ I wonder what level of Hell I would be in if I had to hunt for a new job for the rest of eternity?


The future of design.

Or in my words "COOL!!!".


I wonder if I haven't been over complicating my food...
I accidentally forgot the sauteed mushrooms and swiss for my burger. So I just used the sauteed onion, chopped romain lettuce, and mayo. It turned out delicious. Perhaps even better than if I had added the mushrooms and swiss?

Lol, I usually have breakfast at 330am, and it's whatever cafeteria leavings were left for the hospital overnight staff. Makes for an interesting meal

No they aren't. They're a "I am hungry for a burger" food.

At least your 'Breakfast' isn't boring! ;P

My mom still likes to have a 'Big Breakfast' (Eggs, Biscuits, gravy, bacon, etc) for dinner. ;)

No they aren't. They're a "I am hungry for a burger" food.

In my case that is how I categorize all food, rather than by what time it is socially acceptable to eat it.

Good luck with the job hunts, Drejk and Patrick!


The pin in my finger has been out for two weeks and I've been doing PT the whole time. I didn't wear the splint at all yesterday or last night, so I decided to get brave and actually try touch-typing with that finger again! First time since May 9th!

Only... I can't. My touch typing patterns have changed, and I now use the middle and little fingers for the letters my ring finger used to hit. It's automatic and easy and I'm having a hard time forcing my ring finger to touch the keys.

So that's a change in a decades-old automatic practice in 2-1/2 months. Our habits are more plasic than I realized.

I always found habits are a lot easier to modify than you might think. I got over a life-long phobia of cities by deciding it was stupid. I've also modified my handwriting to be more calligraphic (granted most of this happened while I had a desk job, but I'm glad I put in the effort several years ago)

indeed. There is a theory that we are capable of making jaw dropping levels of alteration to our lives when we are injured in a very short amount of time, our increased reliance of technology has made this more obvious.

I think you need to work on that city phobia some more with me and ch and possibly David and anyone else who wants to come to lovecraft.

LOVECRAFT!

I have found few things better than a hot-off-the-griddle/grill cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake (made with real ice cream) for an early morning breakfast. When I had to run mail as a substitute carrier on a high-volume Monday, I almost always had a 5:30am cheeseburger & milkshake breakfast. It was a reliable mood booster.

Give me 5 years. After that, it's only a two hour drive for me. :)

I had the same issue when I injured my hand. I too quickly got used to not using my left index finger.

I was able to return to proper form in about a week and a half. Fret not!

So, I just stood a couple feet away from Colin Quinn on the train. I thought to myself, "He always seemed like kind of a douche, but still it's cool if that's really him."

I wasn't sure, though, so I Googled for pictures of him. Up comes his Twitter feed with a picture of a subway car and this: "You poor dumb "normals" don't even know who's standing right next to you."

My first instinct was right, then. Guy's a douche.

LOL

I googled him as well (Name didn't ring any bells, it has been DECADES since I watched SNL) and the second thing to pop up was his twitter feed, with that still on it. ;P

I take it you didn't want collateral damage, otherwise you would have smote him.

Gawd. Drunk Downton Abbey. Much funny. So embarrassment. Much British.


???
So I first wondered if the characters IN Downtown Abbey were drunk. Then re-read your above post and realized YOU were WATCHING Downtown Abbey while drunk.

Which I admit sounds pretty entertaining. :)

(Yes, it's late, and I'm tired.) ;P

Enjoy the British funny!
