25614. alistairConnor - 8/26/2009 10:12:32 PM Ye gods, I'd forgotten about the hormones. Roller coaster. 25615. Dubai Vol - 8/26/2009 10:20:03 PM Oh yeah, when my first wife was 8 months pregnant, I came home to find all my clothes in the yard, with my dress uniform on the bottom. 25616. iiibbb - 8/27/2009 4:17:29 PM Blechy day. I'm trying to force myself to apply to two jobs that I don't think I have much chance of getting. These are 1-pg resume jobs, so I'm not enthusiastic.
I am finding a couple of things on my CV I want to change. I tweaked the hell out of trying to angle for an EPA job that fell through. For all the improvements that I made in the overall presentation of it, there are a bunch of akward phrases that were really geared to that job, and I guess my last shot at culling them to bring it back to a general resume didn't get them all.
Sigh. 25617. vonKreedon - 8/27/2009 4:53:31 PM Regarding your resume, my suggestion is to have a boiler plate version of your resume and then save this as a new file for each job you apply for and tweak those versions to the job. 25618. iiibbb - 8/28/2009 4:05:42 AM I ordered a new computer today. Mine has been on the fritz and I'm scared the power supply is on it's last leg... turn it on and nothing spins up. Eventually it will, but it's scared me enough.
It's such an old laptop that all of these new fangled netbooks. I know they're pretty limited on performance, but they actually outperform my current laptop. I went with the bigger screen (about the size of a sheet of paper) and nearly full size keyboard, but it's still costs half as much as a laptop. Only weighs 3 lbs. 25619. alistairconnor - 8/28/2009 4:39:34 PM mmm running windows?
A real "netbook" should be running some flavour of Unix, or that new-fangled Google thing.
We bought a pretty cool computer for my stepson for his birthday. About four inches by two and a half. Tactile screen. The young folks call it an "ipod". 25620. iiibbb - 8/28/2009 6:04:52 PM Unfortunately I need windoze. I'll have xp. I might make it a dual boot later. 25621. alistairconnor - 8/28/2009 6:19:07 PM I put a 120 Gb disk in my old laptop, I saved a partition for perhaps a Linux distro, if I ever get around to it.
In other news, I have approximately one hundred and twenty chigger bites. 25622. iiibbb - 8/28/2009 6:49:07 PM Chigger fun
I hate the bastards. I use clothes with permethrin treatment when I work in the woods. 25623. judithathome - 9/1/2009 2:27:04 PM Had I stayed married to my first husband, today would be my 48th wedding anniversary!
Luckily, on Valentines's Day next year, my second (and last) husband and I will celebrate our 28th!
(There were almost 2 years in there that I was single...ha!) 25624. Dubai Vol - 9/1/2009 11:07:15 PM Happy unaversary! Last week was the 20th unaversary of my previous marriage. Where does the time go? 25625. judithathome - 9/2/2009 1:34:20 PM Well, given that I am no longer WITH my ex, it was a happy anniversary, indeed. Since you recently had a NOT-one, too, I'm sure you know what I mean!
Odd thing about the ex...he has never re-married nor is he a very happy man. I'm sure he blames me for all of it.... 25626. anomie - 9/3/2009 1:04:08 AM It's 42 years since I first met my first love in 1967 and we just spent the day together after n ot seeinf each other for 39 or so years. This is contrary to your warnings, Judith. I'm still not sure you were entirely wrong, but some things just must be done. 25627. anomie - 9/3/2009 1:04:26 AM It's 42 years since I first met my first love in 1967 and we just spent the day together after n ot seeinf each other for 39 or so years. This is contrary to your warnings, Judith. I'm still not sure you were entirely wrong, but some things just must be done. 25628. anomie - 9/3/2009 1:05:04 AM Not sure how the double post happened. Sorry. 25629. arkymalarky - 9/3/2009 3:13:40 AM Well, sinus surgery is in the morning. 25630. arkymalarky - 9/3/2009 3:15:55 AM I hope all goes for the best for both of you, Ano. 25631. Ms. No - 9/3/2009 5:24:56 AM Make 'em give you the good drugs, Arky!
Heal fast! 25632. Dubai Vol - 9/3/2009 1:18:38 PM Best advice I ever got from a doctor was after a minor outpatient procedure on my *********. He wrote me a scrip for Tylenol with codeine and asked "do you like beer? Good, have your wife stop on the way home and pick up a six pack. Go home,drink five and put one between your legs!"
Army medicine, sir!
25633. arkymalarky - 9/3/2009 1:37:46 PM Thanks No! On the road there now.
Sounds like a plan for my nose, Dubai! Especially since I can't take codeine.
