Sweet! can't wait!

HAHA! nice

Thank you for the legwork and information!!

Welcome back friend!

That was hilarious!

Damn that's catchy

That's good to know too lol. And I don't think it's diet related. We changed his diet specifically to try to avoid this after we got him, but it never helped. He's on a mix of hard and soft food, twice a day. Thanks for all the advice!

:lol: :lol:

Ain't that the truth lol

Great article! Amazing stats. I also liked the end where the author stated that he's not saying Manuel should be handed a starting job, but that he's just stating the facts that Marrone apparently hindered EJ's growth.

It's become such a frequent thing, like we notice the smell/his behavior suggests it's full every two - three weeks now. we probably could do the express thing at home. I'll look into that with the vet tomorrow. We're going to discuss all of our options with him. Potentially try the pumpkin thing first as well. I may be a little different than some but here's what I've got for people out of college. 1) I've had some people send me follow up thank you emails, others not so much. I've also had a few applicants constantly pester me until I pawned them off on HR. 2) There is no minimal GPA per say. What I look for is: what was their GPA, and what else were they doing with their time? Were they a 4.0 student with nothing else going on? that suggests to me that they are great at focusing on a few tasks and getting the job done, but how are their social/interpersonal skills? Very difficult to hire someone into a multi-disciplinary group setting that has Zero group skills. Was the person an average GPA with a lot going on? These are the people I look for. Tells me they may be able to balance a lot. 3) did the person tailor their resume directly to the position? I loathe when people do this. I want to see everything, not just what you want me to see. I'd rather train someone with minimal knowledge that isn't set in their ways, then take on someone who advertises having more knowledge in the field than is practical, especially right out of college. 4) I love when applicants have done a study abroad. It shows the willingness to try new things and that they can adjust to culture shock (which some people get when they start working in my department due to the egos/personalities in my dept.) 5) Masters and Bachelors are about the same in my book, depending on the amount of extra curricular activities. 6) other things that stick out on a resume to me are volunteering, personal activities, and even someone's mission statement/objective. Those things alone tell me a lot about the applicant. Spelling errors aggravate me but aren't an interview killer. Just my $0.02

I had the same issue. I had 12 applicants and only 2 stood out head and shoulders above the rest. Cover letters poorly written (when submitted), resume's that seemed all the same. I feel your pain. My complaint today: My dog's butt gland (what my wife and I call it) keeps getting clogged. It's the gland that secretes "his smell" after he poos, marking his territory. When it gets clogged, it starts to smell like dead fish. He itches/scratches nonstop (it's like a hemorrhoid) and he doesn't eat as much. We have had to take him to the vet several times now to have the vet stick his finger(s) up my dog's rump to drain the gland. Now we are discussing having it surgically removed. It's very tough for me to have our dog leave us for any period of time (both our dogs are like kids to us). It's even harder for me to leave an animal with a vet. The last time I did, my cat didn't come back :cry: It was traumatizing. No fault of the vet, and I know that. Just a little difficult :(

Found and bought a hutch on Craigslist last night for under $200. Put all of the crystal that my wife inherited into it as a surprise. Absolutely loved it. Score 1 for me! lol

Jo I'm so sorry to hear this :cry:

HAHA! that's great!! Thank you!

Thank you :) I asked her if her dad could start the ceremony with "Mawwiage" but she wouldn't let it happen (her dad loves that movie too).

Don't have enough vacation, so I returned to work today (physically...not mentally), and we're taking a honeymoon in the winter when my vacation has replenished. I memorized my vows, but I had to read them off the paper because every time I looked at her, I started getting choked up again. Perfect weekend though!

Got married Saturday. Cried like a baby when she walked down the aisle. Amazing evening with amazing people, and now an amazing wife B-) .

HAHA This is awesome!! Awesome: I get married on Saturday! I am so excited. we wrote our own vows, and her dad (a pastor) is actually going to do the ceremony for us. It's going to be great. I can't wait to see her in her dress. She says I'm going to cry. I don't want to tell her that she's probably right ;)

Those all look pretty good Jo! best of luck with your submission!!

That was quite the game! Go USA!

I don't go tailgating without a Tops breakfast pizza. Nothing like a Budlight and a couple slices of breakfast pizza outside the Ralph at 9AM.

:w00t: :w00t: stopped by to check in on some threads for the first time in a few days. This just made my week!

Congrats!!
