Bang!
Damn I missed!

Great. A new thread. I can't stand talking about Carter.

I repudiate that former comment. Though he is my spiritual mentor, I had no idea for all these years that reverend Wright hated open threads.

Honey, I've missed you, he said as he re-aimed.

I'd love to ask Wright if Obama was using the left side or the right side of his brain when he decided to give this press conference.

I have always been in favor of open threads, and of threads coming together and healing the divisions between you. And that is why I repudiate anything that any of you may, possibly, find offensive, but warmly endorse anything that you may find praiseworthy.

Just to tie this into the thread.....

That's what interviewers do when they're inexperienced and "chicken" to do one-on-one interviews........there.

For my current job, I was interviewed by two people who were so overjoyed to be interviewing someone who knew about Zoning that the entire interview lasted about 20 to 25 minutes.

They didn't say so, but I knew I had the job before I left the building, and the "You got the job, here is your pay, when can you start?" email was waiting for me when I got home.

re: #115 MandyManners

Ya' gave them the axe?

No, we moved them on to a farm that had better "security" arrangements.

I threw in the "herd of chickens" thing coz of a an ad over here, where the NY banker comes out and tries to blend in with the kiwi farming community. Leaning against the fence with the farmer he comments of the cows....."nice flock of cows" the farmer responds "herd of cows" and the banker replies.."yeah, I heard of cows have you heard of chickens"

Interesting the reaction.......

And its a murder of magpies.

Is this oral board a more personal type of psych eval?

Oral board was the interview, like you just had. Some depts. did do psyche evals like the MMPN inventory. The assessments were a comprehension, mental flexibility type test. They would give a presentation on some job task, then you would have to go preform the task, and they would throw a monkey wrench into the works to see what happened.

I didn't figure the psyche evals helped much, anyone who thinks running into burning buildings is fun, is by definition bug shit nuts.

re: #223 Occasional Reader

No, I know it can load some peer to peer files, too.

If I take a CD and use Windows Media Player to put it onto my hard drive, am I able to transfer the songs to the iPod?

re: #223 Occasional Reader

re: #220 LanceKates

No, I'm asking because I really don't know. Is the iPod REALLY limited to just downloads from iTunes?

No, I know it can load some peer to peer files, too.

Not that I consider you bitter, clingy, flyover types my peers, mind you.

Pass the waffles.

I saw him on a thread earlier; he didn't mention anything.

I think it was the DNC thread.

That's ok. I get to own and carry guns.

plural.

re: #220 LanceKates

Yes, it's true that I could rip Back in Black and upload the mp3's to my iPhone, but good grief, I'll pay the ten bucks to make it trivial.

re: #226 LanceKates

If I take a CD and use Windows Media Player to put it onto my hard drive, am I able to transfer the songs to the iPod?

Ah. You can definitely load a CD directly into iTunes. I have not tried doing it CD - to Windows Media Player - to iTunes, but I imagine you can.

re: #225 jcm
That is right. I never did like live firefighting training in the navy.

re: #230 godfrey

Ok, good. You had me worried there.

I thought it was ANOTHER example of Apple Computers working hard to maintain a monopoly (yet be unaccused of it, unlike Microsoft)

that's how I upload them to my Cellphone (which has a 2gb mp3 player in it)

Thanks, much. I'm sure I'm not the only Lizard hoping he got some decent news.

re: #230 godfrey

to my iPhone

If you ever find a way to either a) switch iPhone predictive text to other languages (e.g. Spanish), or b) just turn the damn predictive text the f**k OFF, I'd be greatly obliged if you shared that info.

re: #231 Occasional Reader

Oh of course, I've uploaded dozens of CD's to my iWhatevers. Just so I can listen to 1% of them.

The ratio should improve on transcontinental flights.

re: #235 song_and_dance_man

does iTunes install a program onto your system? I thought it was just a website where you buy and download the songs.

re: #238 Occasional Reader

If I had it, I would gloat and demand money.

Actually, I don't know how, and I'm equally annoyed. I enter a lot of shorthand and foreign words, so you can imagine what a test of my self-control it ends up being. It makes me chart new courses in human profanity.

re: #232 pingjockey

That is right. I never did like live firefighting training in the navy.

The training center had a ship simulator, they start a fuel leak fire in a compartment, we'd get to go in and turn it off.

They paid me to have that much fun!

re: #240 LanceKates

iTunes comes as an installed app with all macs. If you are on PC, you need to install it.

re: #236 LanceKates

that's how I upload them to my Cellphone (which has a 2gb mp3 player in it)

You people Out There have cellphones?

re: #240 LanceKates

It installs, all right.

It eats space, and it's damn near impossible to get rid of!

Grr.

I'm gonna go build a fire and name all the sticks 'algore' to make me feel better.

re: #240 LanceKates

On an iPhone, it's a little application. You should be careful to inspect upgrades, since they tend to establish more restrictions over time.

By the way, will iPhones work in Ukraine?

re: #241 godfrey

I absolutely hate predictive text. Worse than useless. And for people who are usually good at designing things that work "intuitively", they made the highly UN-intuitive choice of making you tap an offered word to reject it. Dumb.

re: #249 godfrey

In Ukraine, iPhone works you!

re: #243 rawmuse

No, that's ok. I'd prefer to keep Apple crap off my laptop! *evil grin*

I'm guessing it functions like Windows Media Player, then.

Gotta run.

re: #244 Occasional Reader

Yeah, but we can only use them for a few hours on account of not having electricity yet.

I don't have ATT, so I don't have an iphone.

I also am not a fan of Mac, so I don't plan on getting one.

re: #250 Occasional Reader

I am not a fan of that crap either. It produces more typos in my text messages than my normal crappy typing does.

re: #242 jcm Oh yeah, that is a good one. Even better is the one they flood, the Buttercup, and you have to plug the holes before you drown!

Good luck with that. I used to be a computer tech, and I've had to deal with Macs as well as PCs.

I don't dislike the computers themselves, but I find Apple Computers practices to be FAR more monopoly-like than Microsofts ever were... the only difference is that Microsoft helped the IBM clones take over the market and Macs only took a small segment....

ok, off I go

Did anybody notice the open registration this afternoon... I finally got in!

Remember BO Stinks!

Me too! Yay!

I just had a mildly strange experience. An autistic boy up the street just wandered into our house. I already had several other kids in the living room hanging out with my kids, and really didn't think anything of it until he went to the fridge and started to help himself to some blueberry yogurt we had in the kitchen. I didn't even think much of that either, except I didn't recognize him. I said, hello, and he didn't say a thing. He did look me in the eye though. I asked him if he wanted a spoon, and he handed the yogurt back to me.

Moments later, his brother and sister showed up. They explained to me that their brother was autistic, and began apologizing. I told them not to worry about it. I feel badly that they were so embarassed. I think I need to walk up the street and exchange phone #'s with his parents. His brother mentioned that he has some food allergies.

What say you Lizards? I don't want them to feel awkward, but I do think it would be a good idea to exchange phone #'s and find out if he has food allergies.

re: #265 BulgarWheat

It might be a great idea to introduce yourself and exchange info including his allergies if they are inclined to share. They might feel better too knowing that a neighbor is around to keep an eye out in case he is prone to wander.

re: #266 The Albatross

That's what I thought. I'm going to do it.

re: #266 The Albatross

I concur. it might be a refreshing change for neigbors to actually start caring about each other again...who knows? You may be starting a trend to turn neighborhoods around...

That sounds like a downright neighborly thing to do.

re: #265 BulgarWheat

By all means go meet them.

re: #265 BulgarWheat
I way say yes, but be aware that special needs children can steal your heart; whether they're yours or not.

re: #265 BulgarWheat

I'm sure they'll appreciate it after they get over feeling awkward. It's a great boon to know there are many eyes on the children. Nowadays it's a wonderful thing to have a yardful of little boys climbing trees and putting the sprinkler on the trampoline.

There are 3 digging holes at the moment. No, they won't think to clean my tools, or even put them away.
