The rest get silently overwritten. Good thing I only applied for one job with them.[/quote']Those are the businesses that make you thankful you didn't get the interview. I had an interview last month. They said that they would make their decision with 7-10 days and let me know either way. Three weeks later I called to follow-up since I hadn't heard anything. I was given voice mail; got no return call. Three weeks later I got my two-sentence auto-generated email rejection. This was after an interview, one which I thought went very well. Most companies I apply to have the courtesy to send a letter even if I don't get the interview. This was so appallingly rude and disfunctional that I can only think I dodged a real bullet by not getting a job there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Re: searching for Kris Zeimer What was she in? Do you have anything that you could scan and send privately (darn copyright laws! ) so I might have an inkling of who you are talking about? Perhaps she uses a stage name for her modeling career? Bain De Soleil ads. Magazine advertisements and television commercials. As far as I know, that was her whole career, but she was at it more than ten years. And now, it's as if she never existed. But she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary qualifies that: With the exception of Debbie Woodall.

Alt+Print Screen will copy the currently selected application to the clipboard. Paste it into Paint or your favorite image editing software, then save as whatever file type you prefer your pics be in (within the limitations of the software). You can even crop them to just have pics of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could see if the company that makes that sunscreen has a pictures archive... Or request information from them on the ad agency they used to make the commercials...

Cancer Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings I remember Roswell from living in eastern NM back in the late 1960s. At the time, it was a sleepy little town with a state-funded military academy and not a whole lot else. And, pointedly, utterly nothing to do with UFOs was apparent in and around the town. Then in the 1970s the external dollars were cut off (the academy was closed) and the town had to get creative to try to stay alive. The only thing they had that most towns in the area didn't was that incident with the wreckage from secret military project outside of town. They went marketing it enthusiastically, and now, you can barely recognize the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings So I signed back onto City of Villains after several months off. In making a new character I discover...I have City of Heroes now, too! That is very cool. In fact, they've added quite a few new things that make the game a bit more interesting than I remember. I've been playing CoH pretty much all weekend. Just what i needed, another game addiction! Oh hell, most of the reason I signed on is to play with the costume creator again. SO what is you global handle and what server are you playing on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings It seems whenever I play a new game my friends all leave for a newer one. Sorry, man. I'm just completely WoWed out. SO what is you global handle and what server are you playing on?I'll have to get back to you on that tonight.
