And Now With Special Sauce
Lots of stuff to cover here, as I've been busy here lately.
First up: This guy has a hilarious resume` (no, I'm not going to hunt for the right character to make that look correct). The heavy french accent makes it all the more enjoyable.
This makes me think of my own resume. According to the company here, I beat out around 150 applicants, around the same number of people who had applied for ORNL, as I recall. This makes me a Lucky Guy (and I certainly know it), and makes me appreciate my job. It also makes me think, in contrast to the french guy's very creative and funny resume video, that I believe my resume was pretty boring but informative.
During the Dark Period, I scoured the websites, I called the companies with listings, I hounded those who responded, and I worked monster.com for all its worth. I think if I learned anything, Monster.com Is Where Job Seekers Go To Die. I would love to find someone who found a great job through that service. And if they did, how long it took them, because it must've been fucking decades. Plenty of jobs were posted with me being the perfect fit. All I can think is that there are total geniuses competing, or, as I did frequently, just so many people applied for jobs that they might not be totally qualified for that it all turned into white noise.
Did I get my current job through any job posting web service? You bet your ass I didn't. No job I have ever attained in my life has been through anything but the newspaper. This is a fact that I will still deny if I begin looking for another job (which I don't forsee any time soon, this place is the bomb dizzle).
Okay, more Interesting Shit(tm): Feedburner is very, very cool. I have registered my blog there, as each blogger knows they yearn for readership in some way. You try your best to spread and infect (yes the terminology is wonderful), and hope in some way that you can get your hooks in whatever readers you feel are necessary. Blogging is The Big New Thing, something I suppose the world is finally catching on to. But as for me, I'll be happy with a few more readers, and comments would be nice too.
Lastly, this is fucking ridiculous. Boy, I can't wait until Virtual Whore comes out, where you have to hit the X button at a certain rate of speed to get the John off. Wow, somebody copyright that! That game would be brilliant! Sigh...
