lemming Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings It's really windy outside. Weather.com says it's only 17 MPH, but I think the spot I live in must channel some wind. I really should set up a net to see how much stuff blows by the house at times.

Klytus Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Unemployment: Day One Well, here I am - home alone trying to keep myself busy, trying to not to just go back to sleep, and trying not to think about how badly having no job sucks. Yesterday, I sent my updated resume to seven recruiters I know and re-activated my Monster.com profile. This morning, I found e-mail with job matches in my e-mail. As expected, most of them are either way beyond my experience, require Top Secret security clearance with a lifestyle polygraph (gotta love living in DC!) or both. I applied for the one out of 20 I actually qualify for. Let the good times roll... ::sigh:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Skaramine Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings The maternal unit is giving me the silent rage treatment. But I have my Morningstar Minimate in my pocket, and as such, I am strong. As J. Michael Straczynski wrote in Peter Parker's thoughts... "I can bench press more than any two X-Men and tear apart a brick wall with my bare hands. I think I can take her." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Squirrel Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings I apologize to anyone who finds that I have been aggressive about signing up for the World Community Grid. But I've lost too many loved ones to diseases and disorders this project might someday find a cure for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Worldmaker Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Sometimes, people speak big because they are actually little and are trying to impress other people into thinking they are big. Other people speak big because they are big. Its hazardous to confuse the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Worldmaker Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings My 13 year old asked me the other day how yellow ribbons came to mean "support the troops". I told him that yellow ribbons don't mean "support the troops". They mean "please come home, we want you back". He thought about it some, and finally said "Dad, most people are stupid, aren't they?"

DocMan Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Meanwhile back on page 169... It is August 20th. Skaramine is breaking the rules. Klytus is making up for lost time. At work. On a Saturday no less. Bummer. Death Tribble is watching the Olympics. Vanguard00 is looking forward to playing in front of a live audience on a pretty afternoon. Skaramine is finding new and unusual ways to abuse Vivarin. Super Squirrel has a G-mail account. Scuba Hero is worrying about the flame wars and how to calm things down. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Worldmaker Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings No matter how angry I've ever become at someone on these boards, I've never truly wished anyone harm for something they've said.

DocMan Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings When you're down, there's nothing that gives you lift quite like going back and reading posts that other people have given you rep for and remembering what you felt like when you wrote it.

Klytus Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Unemployment: Day Two I let myself sleep in today. White Heat has told me to treat the first week or so of my unemployment like a vacation, so I am attempting to do just that. I still do some job searches in the morning, and I'm not exactly "idle" when I have seven different recruiters actively looking for work for me.

Super Squirrel Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Fortunately, Alice's loss of Health Insurance is working out for the better. I'm going to be able to add her to my insurance now instead of at Open Enrollment in July. My Health Insurance covers things we were looking into and it is cheaper in the long run.

Samuraiko Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings *wanders in looking disconsolate* I just found out that the job I thought I had... I don't. Seems that in the past eight weeks, I went from "you have the job, but no training class will be open until after the holidays in January" to "we have no position for you." Damn it all. *loud gusty sigh* Guess that means it's back to the job search. Michelle aka Samuraiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
