The Job Interview
Tell me about yourself.
I am a learner. I love information and try to keep up on multiple topics. I read a lot, books, blogs, magazines, and news.
My knack for learning extends to the computer, where I have 20 years of computer experience, including using nearly every version of Microsoft Windows since 2.0. The majority of my computer skils are self taught from just sitting down and opening up...
Stop "corrective rape" in South Africa →
thenewfilo:
From a Cape Town safehouse for survivors of ‘corrective rape,’ the women created a petition on Change.org targeting South African Justice Minister Jeffrey Radebe.
Please, they wrote, declare ‘corrective rape’ a hate crime, which would both empower and require South African police to take a harder line on the vicious crime.
Click here to add your name to the petition.

“This nation has a record breaking, $13.8 trillion national debt at the same time...”
– Senator BERNIE SANDERS (I - VT), during his more than eight-hour-long speech railing against the tax break package fought for by Republicans and agreed to by President Obama.
We hope the right folks listened.

inothernews:
Only a few months back, many, if not most Republicans spoke out against the possible construction of an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in Manhattan, on the grounds that it would “offend” people who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. Perhaps all but a few of these…
Someone mentions “ocean” and suddenly I’m singing Toad the Wet Sprocket and missing the ’90s. What?
Reblogs and Mac and tumblr backups
Earlier, I reblogged and replied to a post from littleorphanammo in which he complained about Tumbler’s Mac-only backup option. He reblogged my reblog, stating I missed the point. I sent the following text via “Ask?” to claim I did not miss the point:
No, I know that your original post was to complain about Tumblr’s backup software, but you also have a clearly stated, strong dislike for Apple...
“Yes: changing nothing is the fresh injection of sameness that our stagnant...”
– STEPHEN COLBERT, on victorious Republicans’ claims that preserving Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy “would be the most important thing we could do to help create jobs in our country,” on The Colbert Report.

So I’m trying to actually apply for a job. One thing, though, is that my references are several years old, and now I only have two. So what do I do for a reference? Is it good to use coworkers from 2+ years ago?

Just a note to Cleveland and to Cavs fans: Tomorrow, multi-millionare Lebron will be out of town and preparing for his next game. Tomorrow you will still go to work or whatever else you do. And tomorrow, millions of people will die or continue to be unemnployed and/or homeless. Professional basketball: Should we really give a flipping damn?
