Go to hell, Unicru
Dear Unicru,
It seems that at least half of the jobs I’ve been applying to lately use your software to handle applications. Don’t you think you could allow people to set up a profile on your site instead of making me cut and paste sections of my resumé into eight thousand different form fields over and over again? These companies are all asking the same questions, so it would be useful if you’d remember my answers. Those goddamn online applications are seventy-seven pages long! At least!
Sincerely,
Me
I don’t know any US geography, either.
Being a Canadian and all. I still know that Alaska is bigger than Texas… If I was a 5th grader on this damn game show, I’d totally mess with the adult contestants by answering everything incorrectly on purpose. But then, I’m not a nice person. Every kid knows writing the wrong answers down temporarily is the best way to thwart cheaters. At least, the kids who aren’t the ones cheating know it.
To better serve you
I paid my Comcast bill by phone today, because the website is an idiot. To better serve me, they had me punch in my phone number right away, in order to access my account. Then, to better serve me, they had me punch in my phone number after I selected the billing menu, so that my account could be verified. Then, the first thing the agent did when she came on the line was ask me for my phone number, in order to pull up my account. Inefficiency irritates me more than most other things. And most other things irritate me an awful lot.
Stop!
Jeans + sports jacket = no.
Thanks.
Addendum to previous list
Aberrant News – Quality source of linkage, plus her name is also Candice, and people named Candice are cool. (And regularly posts especially good links to sexy pictures of women I definitely approve of…)
Girlboner
Raymi – Says whatever she feels like saying, and doesn’t care what you think about it.
Gala Darling – Almost (but not quite) motivates me to get off of my ass. Somehow blogs about fashion without making me feel vapid.
Deletia – Is disgustingly clever, and has been on my reading list for years and years (now with RSS!) Must resist temptations to repost all of her links, so go follow them from her site!
Memoirs of a Skepchick – Skeptical / atheist women are few and far between, especially the outspoken ones. So this makes me crazy happy.
Majikthise – A) named after a character in my favourite book of all time, B) stands up for the little guy (and girl!)
ANTM is a trainwreck
Don’t worry, America’s Next Top Model womens… even Coco Rocha and Behati Prinsloo have trouble figuring out their choreography. Geez, how difficult is it to walk from point A to point B?
(Eh, whatever — I know from my limited experience that modeling is actually hard work — gasp! And everything I’ve done has involved standing in one place — I didn’t even get as far as walking…)
P.S. Last week I was a lesbian and now I’m a ho.
Roman’s miles: How to find [inconvenient] truth about youself?
Roman’s miles: How to find [inconvenient] truth about youself?
Truth about anyone that tries this: Cares too much what other people think about them. Insecure. Uptight. Cowardly. Bureaucratic. Perhaps a try-hard. I hate try-hards.
I dunno, this reminds me of slam books in third grade… “How much do you like me on a scale of one to five? Do you want to be my boyfriend? Check one: [ ] yes / [ ] no / [ ] maybe.”
Anywhom… Youself!
Google reader
Needs to show me the author and category of posts in list view (and for that matter — anywhere at all). Or else.
That’s right.
Or else.
Isn’t there any decent RSS reader out there?
This is not a rhetorical question.
And I mean, for Windows.
Fuck Windows. Bah.
