[OT] Job or social resource by
Howard Berkowitz
Disclaimer: I have no financial or other interest in LinkedIn.
On the advice of some colleagues, I've started using a service,
http://www.linkedin.com. It's a little hard to describe, but I've both
gotten in touch with old friends and gotten at least one active job lead.
There's a theory that...

[ot] Job Purrs please by
Jeanne Hedge
Yet another in an ocassional series of asking for job purrs...
I have an interview late tomorrow. Oddly enough, it's for the job my
dad is retiring from, and the fellow doing the interview (my dad's
boss) is someone I've known for years. I have no idea if this is a
good thing or a bad thing, but...

[OT] Job update ^_^ by
Jeanne Hedge
With all the gloom and doom around here recently, I thought I'd write
a bit on a happier note.
Some might recall that I was unemployed for 2 years, gaining a bit of
pocket money with occasional substitute teacher jobs (which truly does
pay pocket money around here). At the end of May I interviewed...

[OT] Joyce's annual summer solstice obsession by
[email protected]
Here's a live webcam in Reykjavik, Iceland. I'm posting at 5:30pm/17:30
in California, and it's 12:30am/00:30 in Reykjavik. Marina probably won't
be overly impressed with this, but I am. :)

[OT] Jump London??? by
CatNipped
OK, I just saw an advertisement on TV for a new show called "Jump London".
For my friends over in the UK, have you heard of this? Is this a new fad
(jumping from rooftop to rooftop)? What's this all about????
Hugs,

[OT] Just needed to vent by
Yowie
Sorry to dump this on you guys, but I need to vent somewhere that is
understanding and sympathetic and nonjudgmental. And this is the place.
Don't know if you know the story of Daniel, Joel's younger brother. 3 years
ago, Daniel had his drink spiked and as a result went off his rocker right
around...

[OT] Katrina Aftermath Update by
CatNipped
Some of you may remember that Ben and my family, and all our friends, live
in St. Bernard, LA - otherwise known as "ground zero" of hurricane Katrina.
St. Bernard is a community that has the dubious honor of being the only
American community to have been entirely destroyed by a natural disaster...

[OT] Katrina Donations? by
CatNipped
I just saw a news blurb that said Abu Dabi gave 100 *million* dollars to
hurricane Katrina relief. There have been *BILLIONS* of dollars donated
now.
I reiterate, every single member of my family and all of my friends were
totally wiped out by Katrina. *NOT A SINGLE ONE* of them have received...

[OT] Katrina Donations??? by
CatNipped
When replying to another thread about FEMA benefits I got to thinking about
something else I've been wondering about lately.
We see in all the newspapers and on TV all the benefit drives for Katrina
victims - TV and movie stars each seem to have their own drive going, there
have been all-star...

[OT] Katrina humor by
CatNipped
As some of you already know, my daughter, Erin, went home for Christmas.
Quite understandable, my son-in-law's family didn't by many or elaborate
Christmas gifts this year - in fact a lot were home-made (to me, the best
kind). Here is a picture of one, a home-made cake, that I found...

[OT] Katrina Recovery - More Photo Journal by
CatNipped
Sorry I haven't been around for a while. I wouldn't even be posting now
(because of the pain in my arm) except that I promised everyone I'd let them
know as soon as more pictures from my daughter's family's photo-journal of
their recovery from Katrina.
All I can say is wow, just.........

[OT] Keating! The musical by

Totally and utterly OT, but had to share.
I just finished watching a live broadcast of Keating! the musical. I was
not only blown away by the performance, the talent, the music, and a
good deal of nostalgia, I was also struck by how unusual it is.
I mean, where else would you get to see a...

[ot] Kentucky Derby by
Jeanne Hedge
I haven't paid much attention to this year's Kentucky Derby horses, so
don't know much about them. I drew a horse named High Fly in a local
Derby pool. All I know about him is that Zito is the trainer and Jerry
Bailey will be up. Horse racing fans, what are your opinions? Do I
have a chance?

[OT] Kidney infection? (human) by
[email protected]
I've had this pain on the left side of my back, mid-height, for about
a week. It really hurts when I'm sitting at the computer, which I
kind of can't avoid at work. Yesterday I took 800 mg of ibuprofen and
then got down on the floor on my back for a while. Then I got up and
called a chiropractor,...

[OT] Killer Sale by

I've been looking for (cheap) suits to give me an Executive Assistant
"image" for (hopefully) any interviews I might get (please gawd soon!). I
found a killer sale at Sears the weekend, and got this suit *and* the
blouse - all three pieces for $40. Then I found the shoes on sale at Ross

sub-theme in Thomas the Tank compared and contrasted to the essential
Marxist nature of Bob The Builder, I finally found my way to bed at...

[OT] Latin? (Or Spanish, Italian) by

Anyone know Latin?
Joel wants to create a guild on World of Warcraft called "From nothing,
blood comes"
The translation would be something akin to "Ex nihilo, sanguine effundi"
Although I don't know the correct endings (delinations?), nor do I know the
correct
phrasing. Even if you speak...

I know a sommelier is among the regular readers, although I don't
remember who it is...
I'd like to learn about wine, but don't know where to begin. I know
*nothing* - I can't even describe what kinds of wine I like because I
have no points of reference - for example I have no idea if I like...
