[freeformschooler]

I wsan't laughing either.

WHY MUST YOU DO THIS? STOP IT

ftfy
For the humor value.

[Duke 2.0]

We are all cool here bros. Everything is cool. Life is cool.

Weather is about as crummy as it can get without mass closings. Sleet and freezing rain and the roads are fine so I gotta walk through this crap.

[ToonyMan]

My weather is crummy and there is mass closing everywhere.

Hey, the Oakenshield stuff was actually quite funny.  And the thing was, I wasn't really laughing at anyone (except Oakenshield, of course) while reading.

[ILikePie]

It ain't when you're Jewish and live in the holy land of milk and honey. Kind of creepy, thinking that that's what people think about us.

[Leafsnail]

Well, you can focus on him, or you can focus on all the reasonable people disagreeing with him.

[Ochita]

It was disturbing.

[Pnx]

I'm coming down with the flue, just two days before the convention starts... I said I was hoping something wouldn't come up, and I frigging jynxed it... At least this isn't as bad as last year when I was REALLY sick.

I'm more pissed than anything else, but Windows 7 decided to crap out on me, and will no longer boot, taking with it my homework and my schedule info. To top it off, trying to get Ubuntu working is proving to be nothing but an exercise in frustration, as I try to sort out a tangle of conflicting plugins that are doing things that make no damned sense at all.

I can at least successfully type things into a box like this though. That's a nice perk.

[Mindmaker]

Tomorrow I'll be at work from 7 am to 7 pm.
Not that I've got anything better to do, but this is going to be quite exhausting.

[Tack]

I've had that before.
It was on a public holiday, too.
I liked it.

where are you working?

[Lord Shonus]

took another look at the S&W and im getting second thoughts again (the assembly looks like its ready to explode all over the place)

S&W? you mean a Smith and Wesson?

Writing a résumé is a process intended to make you hate yourself.  Writing one as a recent college graduate will make you question why you ever bothered going.  Everyone says you're supposed to embellish and stretch for info and skills to include, and if you still run out of crap to say about yourself and fill one page, describe your professional interests.  I think this is bullshit advice for two reasons.  First, when everyone says that you should embellish your résumé, doesn't that mean that anyone reading it is going to assume it's an overblown pack of lies?  Second, talking about myself makes me feel like a tool.

But at the same time, if you can't fill a page, your résumé is worthless, you slacker.  Why can't I just turn over a post-it note saying, "Hey, I just graduated college with a Bachelors in Liberal Arts, and I have no relevant job experience to anything but moving boxes.  Hire me, why don't you?"  Because that's all this résumé nonsense is for, a needlessly elaborate way of saying exactly that.

I also woke up pissed off at myself that I didn't even start to get around to this until more than a month after the end of class, but that's exactly why I need a daytime job.

I hate all the nonsense etiquette regarding resumes & cover letters.  I especially hate that it even applies in industries where they only really care about your portfolio.  So they don't really care about what you write, just that you do it according to standards... and then turn around and show them why you're unique and valuable.  It makes no sense.
