I worked at the same company for 10 years before I made the last move. I had to use colleagues from that company. I searched for a while, and my references were contacted more than once. It didn't come out until the last interview before the offer for the position I accepted. That was only because the interviewer knew a senior level VP at my company and asked him about me (without my permission).
@crosbylee - If you find the secret to launching him, let me know. I fear my 20 year old son will never leave. He lost his job, and he doesn't seem in a big hurry to find another one. I actually co-signed a car loan for him while he was working, thinking that would help his motivation. He has several months of payments saved up, I should have made him start paying rent while he was working. Ugh.
I'd have been absolutely pissed if someone did that. What if you didn't accept their offer (I'd hope they were definitely planning on making one if they did that)? That's obnoxious.
I *think* I am going to see how the interviews (yes, plural - one dept, one HR) go on Friday and call her on my way home if I think it went well enough that there will be a second round interview/reference calling. If it goes terribly, no harm done.0 -
I dislike Winners too. It's okay when it's very clean and organized, but that's so rare. It also often smells weird, but the thing that I always hate about it is that you have to flip through every single item on the rack in your size to find anything. I also have a lot of trouble finding anything in my size there because I'm fairly small and for some reason they never have anything below a 4 in the women's section. Juniors is sometimes a little better, but nothing there is appropriate for my office. It's just really weird that they carry so few small women's sizes.
I always wondered about that. In Canada it's called Winners. I rarely have the patience to shop there - I find it a bit of a jumble/rummage sale.girldownsouth wrote: »
Fun fact: here it's called TK MAXX (not really that fun a fact...) They also don't seem to have as much good stuff. In America they seem to have proper cut price designer items, here it seems to be cheaper, but I think a lot of the stuff are labels I've never heard of they have made for them.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »I wish TJMAXX would hurry up & open their store that's closer to me.
Thank you for saying that. I always thought I was the only one that didn’t like shopping there because it looks like a mess. It’s hard to find what you want.
Yes, I'm not the only one who's noticed this! Every one I've been in stinks! Literally and figuratively.0 -

@MoHousdon I love the idea that this is a village. I'm imagining us all in little English country cottages, nattering over the garden fence and on the village green
Good for you!
I would love that! As long as I can eat cookies and have tea. I would make an EXCELLENT English person/woman. Plus, I do a pretty good English accent.
I may have been doing one in my head just then.
Here, you have biscuits and tea. Cookies are 'merican
Alright, biscuits, then.
Biscuits always brings hard cookies to my mind, like Oreos or Digestives. Not that I have anything against them, but I want soft, chewy, gooey COOKIES!
Or you know what? Gimme a scone. With butter.
I miss scones. Never been able to enjoy one since my Grandma passed away. She made the best and always made a special batch for me without raisins. I hate raisins!!
Count me in on the raisin-hating wagon!! In traditional Arabian dishes, raisins are popular to put into the rice. Makes me want to gag when I accidentally pop one into my mouth... X_X I *HATE* raisins. By themselves they're bad enough, but they absolutely ruin food for me when they're put into things like cookies or puddings. :-/0 -

I wouldn't worry about it most don't - it's just one of those group dynamic things we always see on FB. Someone always has to be put down for someone else to feel better. The fact that you don't get it is probably a good thing, gossip brings out the cowards.-3 -

Well, of course it's gonna go well.
Oh, I was pissed. The guy that spilled the beans was a consultant that they had hired to ask me engineering-specific questions. I was the only engineer at the new place. I didn't find out about it until after I accepted and went to tell my old boss.0 -

Cinnamon in savory rice? O.O That's even worse! No judgement from me, of course, but you have some weird tastes... 0 -

When I go to the gym I never wear underwear. A LONG time ago I basically totally exposed myself to a trainer wearing looser shorts when he was holding my ankles and I was doing sit ups. I know he saw EVERYTHING. But we just pretended nothing was going on (both too embarrassed I think...and its funny that Bare A**ed is part of that word) so to this day, when I go to a dressing room and try on looser shorts that don't have a built in panty I do the 'stress test'... basically stand with my butt to the mirror and contort myself in every way possible. As long as nothing gets exposed, I buy them.
My friend and I now have a standing joke whenever I buy something new...did it pass the stress test?
I do this with workout pants, to make sure they aren't too sheer, and jeans - gotta make sure I don't have "plumber's butt" lol

Disagree. I think every person who read that confession found it creepy. And quite illegal if the person who posted it acted on it.0 -

Well, actually I guess it's more of a rice dessert Sometimes I'll add milk in there too, or cook it with coconut milk. My boyfriend thinks I'm weird though... the cherry on top for him was when I mixed orange juice with milk and vanilla and drank that repeatedly over a couple of weeks (strong craving). So good, like a creamsicle drink! 0 -

Edit: That's hilarious, it censored Dick Van D y k e!!
Um, I'm not sure. I don't say governor, or tally ho ole chap (this reminds me of a friends episode where Ross is teaching a class and starts speaking with a TERRIBLE British accent).
It's more like Kate Winslet or Kate Beckensale. So what would that be?
LOVE LOVE that episode! Haha0 -

My mom loves BOTH of those. Rice pudding, she calls it, and the orange milk stuff too! I think she's weird, too... My sister loves them as well. Maybe I'm the weird one...
When I said traditional rice, I meant savory food; it's usually cooked with spices like cumin and bay leaves, and it often also has fried onions and nuts on top. And then there are those evil little raisins mixed in, pretending to be nuts. I don't actually like any of the toppings, although the nuts are okay. The best part is always the meat! Mmmm, meat. I miss my aunt's cooking. 0 -
I hope you do to! What is your plan?
Well, to me he just sounds like any other Englishman, so...
My husband has a fairly 'posh' English accent (his mother - RIP - sounded like the Queen) and he has no idea that women swoon when he talks to them.

I don't care what we're doing as long as there are real English people there who I can listen to speak
You are one lucky lady!!
Haha I know..I'm just jealous! But hopefully I'll get to be with my Englishman full time in the next year
Well as of right now I'm heading over there in August and we'll see where we're at after that! There's talk of me going there or him here in the next year but nothing concrete yet.0 -

FluffySandwich wrote: »Embarrassing Confession: A few months ago, I found out about a website called BeautifulPeople.com through another forum. They were laughing about how ridiculous it was, and I thought it was pretty shallow a concept. However, everyone jumped in and tried to get approved. You upload a picture and if the members deem you ''beautiful enough,'' you get to become a member. Ratings are ''ABSOLUTELY NOT!'' ''No.'' ''Hmmm ok'' and ''Beautiful!'' I uploaded a picture of me (plus a false name) out of curiosity, and to my overwhelming surprise I got in! You have to pay to use their site, so I wasn't going to do that (not that I had any plans of using the site anyway
). I feel a little embarrassed at having done that though.
(Also, yay, I haven't been flagged!)
EDIT: I have actually used it a few times, because as a member I can vote for people to get approved. I can't do anything for the women, but I always vote ''Beautiful'' on every man I see. I know how hurtful it feels to get those ''absolutely nots,'' and I want them to have at least one beautiful, because I'm one of those dopey people who think everyone has a beauty to them.
That's because you're the ONLY one that feels that way! I know the rest of us see your beauty. No need to be embarrassed if it helped with your self-esteem. You deserve it!
And, it's NOT dopey to see beauty in everyone. That is a priceless quality to have.0 -

Interesting that there is a pro poker player in the house this year (Vanessa Rousso.)
She's a good pro (big poker fan here) & has awesome people reading skills...but if she gets recognized (a distinct possibility) then she's probably toast.
