Biggest mistakes you can make during an interview →
brooklynmutt:
CareerBuilder.com interviewed thousands of employers.
Here are some of the most unusual interview mistakes:
Candidate brought a “how to interview book” with him to the interview.
Candidate asked, “What company is this again?”
Candidate put the interviewer on hold during a phone interview. When she came back on the line, she told the interviewer that she had a date set up...

Mom’s Gold Star: this mom knows what's up. →

Mom’s Gold Star
I haven’t gotten much into the topic of all the stuff kids can’t eat at school these days, but for the record I’m one of those “nostalgic (almost) thirty-somethings” who think it’s a bunch of crap. It seems the “banned” list grows each year, and I can hardly keep track of…

The Evolution of an unwilling Doctor Who fan.
At least, MY evolution.
Step One: Watch Doctor Who episode (Series One) and dismiss it as an okay show, but not really for you.
Step Two: On a whim, marathon the entire Series One until you start to think with a British accent and start peering out of your window to find a TARDIS.
Step Three: Eat some humble pie. You now love this show and are sorry you ever doubted its fabulosity.
Step...

It's hard being the anti-Christ of the library...
What you say:
I’m sorry, that book is checked out until March, but you can place a hold request on it and be the next in line to check it out.
What they must hear:
HAIL SATAN!
What you say:
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to check these books out to you; there’s a block on your library account for overdue fines. You can fill out an appeal if you feel there’s...

Favorite characters: Elfquest
Why? Because elves are awesome! These elves take no shenanigans. None. Crash-land on an alien planet? Bond with the local wildlife and form packs. Need sturdier clothes? Learn leatherworking. HUmans burn down the forest? Conquer the motherf@#$ing desert like a boss.
It’s hard to pick a favorite character! There are very few I don’t like, but I can pick out quite a few I adore more...

A musing (and maybe amusing as well).
So two nights ago, I was watching my rabbit play and she does this thing where she burrows under her towel/blankets. Only then she can’t quite figure out how to get back out again. And I laughed and laughed and thought, “Good heavens, bun,” all while trying to help her get out and re-fix her bedding for her.
And then last night on my run, I happen to glance down and see (what I...

People of America: it’s time to wake up! Our freedoms and liberties are being taken from us one by one. We have allowed our government to grow so large it’s become bloated and distorted. As Thomas Jefferson said, “A government big enough to give you everything you need, is a government big enough…

Babies. O.O!
My Dad called me a couple of days ago for my birthday. The conversation went a little something like this:
Dad: Happy birthday, hon!
Me: Thanks, Dad, how are you?
Dad: I want a grandchild.
Me: ….
It brings to mind a game we’ll banter around at work called ‘Would you rather…?’ The question was: Would you rather have no children at all, or, have six children...

russbus: How Marriott ruined Dragon*Con 2012. →
russbus:
For the past few years, my good friend Scott has taken care of booking our (300 DC’s) hotel rooms for Dragon*Con. He’s done this while on active duty with the United States Army and he’s always come through. This year was no different, except in that Marriott lost our reservation, took zero…

Reblog if you think gay marriage should be legal.
Freedom for all. I believe it is an inalienable right to be able to marry your consenting partner, whether they’re the same gender as you or not.

Vinatage ads
I love vintage ads, especially ones that seem to be non sequitur.
Naked women and books? Buy Hanes.

New blog!
So, after my friend Jay Kew suggested it, I decided to make an actual blog of my rabbit, Lumi entitled Stuff On My Bunny.
http://stuffonmybunny.tumblr.com/
Mostly, it’s going to be stuff on my bunny. Pretty self explanatory, really.
She is pretty photogenic.

“I like muffins! And spinning around. Hugs are good, too.”
