What not to do in a resume

I have some thoughts about what not to do in a resume and I feel I need to get them off my chest. My team is hiring several new members and I’m seeing a lot of resumes and doing a lot of interviewing. I saw a lot more resumes back when I was an IT [...]

Rescheduled service call

I had to reschedule my DirecTV service call tomorrow because it turns out I have to be in the office for the interview that I am supposed to do. As luck would have it, however, the next available slot that I got was Saturday between 1-5 PM, which works for me. When I called to [...]

Bill Gates for President

Okay, so Scott Adams most recent post on the Dilbert Blog is particularly funny today. Especially if you are a Bill Gates lover/hater.

Odds and ends

It has already been a busy and productive morning, and it’s only 10:30. Much of my morning has been spent writing some perl scripts to transform and import a large amount of legacy data into a newly designed database for the data. It is a multi-step process but I’m pleased with the progress I made [...]

And to top it all off…

…I left the A/C adapter to my iBook at work today! And I never do that!

Concentration

I was reading Humans on the train ride home this evening. I take the Yellow line to Mt. Vernon Square and then switch the Green line. It is so routine for me that I can do it with my eyes closed. I have an internal sensor that tells me when I’m at my switching point, [...]

Nadir

I am approaching the low point of laziness in recent memory, and I am hopeful that I will reach the nadir this weekend and somehow turn it around. First, there is my gym truancy, which has taken physical manifestation in the gaining of a couple of kilograms of mass around the middle of yours truly. [...]

Superman Returns

Superman Returns was released on DVD today and I picked up the special edition 2-disc set. I’ve already seen the movie three times, but I’m looking forward to seeing it again. And the special features as well. I also picked up Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek: Generations. I watched the former [...]

DirecTV solution?

More than 24 hours after swapping satellite boxes between the bedroom and living room, I haven’t had a single problem with the satellite signal. It looks like it may have been the box after all. I don’t check the box in the bedroom as much but I’ve checked it several times and the signal seems [...]

Premier 2007

My trip to Seattle for Thanksgiving put me over the 25,000 miles traveled mark for 2006. (I have just over 27,000 miles traveled this year.) That is a milestone because it takes 25,000 miles traveled on United to maintain your Premier status into the next year. Therefore, with this last trip, I have accumulated enough [...]

Off the wagon

It has been nearly 2 weeks since I have been to the gym. I had a training session scheduled for this afternoon and I canceled it because I have too many meetings and would be cutting it too close, not to mention the fact that I’ll be wiped out after all of those meetings. All [...]
