Someone could cut spriggan's url down to

http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/jobseeker/jobsearch/job_detail.html;_ylt=AgO_uxkhZyIB2i81YypmRe_6Q6IX?job_id=J849303XJ

and it would still work.

It stretches my screen as well and it's quite annoying. (My resolution is 1440x900.)

Ok, now I REALLY feel like crap that everyone cares more about the stupid screen resolution than what I posted about, when I spent 20 minutes baring my soul to write that post.

I sympathize a little Fuzzy. I think my current job is rebound job for me even though I've been at it for almost a year.

Course, I think it's wise to have a certain amount of detachment to all places of employment. Sure it's where you will spend most of your time, but there really are more important things that deserve more of your soul's attention.

sorry fuzzy, I didn't even see your post.

That sucks. I mean, Yeah, it's one of the hard things that come with losing a job you like, but it's hard to go through it.

So, I was at a job agency today. Did a data entry test thing, see how good I was. They told me, after, that they look for 4,000 - 6,000 keystrokes per hour and a 'low' error rate. I got 7,600 per hour and 1% error rate.

I pwn.

Just further proof that Netscape/mozilla/foxfire suck.  They cannot even break down a link.

PWND! by the big link.

So I've been counting. I think I have around 15 friends and family members looking for work at the moment.

I can imagine it in the interview...

'What has given you such good typing skills?'

'Well, talking to americans at 3am about computer games and pr0n helped...'

'Uh... right.'

I'm sorry Fuzzy. I foolishly thought someone would care enough to fix the link so that I could read the previous posts on the topic.

Stupid me.

I think the thing is that you spead such a large percentage of your life and it's necessary for so much of the rest of your life (eating, shelter, toys, etc.) that it becomes wrapped up in your identity. So when something happens to it you just feel slashed.

Rebound isn't necessarily bad (at least I hope not--my husband dated me on the rebound). My rebound job was at Certiport and I enjoyed it.

(Sprig, Jeffe said it's doing it to him in IE and Safari, and it's also doing it on Ookla's Mac OS, so shut up about Firefox. Browser Nazi.)

yeah, but he's using IE on the Mac.

I haven't edited because I felt it would be rude to him. I didn't realize people weren't reading just because of a format issue.
