Ding ding ding (bing bing bing?) we have a winner. I'm up here in snowy Canada.

I tried that and it URL'd itself right back to bing.com. Wonder if it's because I don't have a sign-in?

Forgive me as I've never used Bing but is there some magic way of making that "flight widget" thing appear? I've tried turning AdBlock off and eventually tried the flight shown and continue to simply get a list of links. I tried exactly the same search wording in Google and got ... a little flight widget.

On 2nd reading, I feel the need to clarify - O'Toole was a actor with few peers.

My Favorite Year (1982) - He played "Alan Swann" - an Errol Flynn clone who loved ... LOVED ... a tipple.

I'm a "light" user and GIMP continues to serve me well. Typically, if I can find a tutorial about something in Photoshop, I can work out the GIMP equiv fairly easily.

That should have read "team meetings" and I promise to never, ever, comment from my phone without wearing my freaking glasses. The lead is a very nice person and I cannot picture her throwing raw chicken at under-performers.

I know what you mean. If you change "family" to "team", the test lead I deal with most often uses these in everyone of her team meatings.

One quick comment about infographic resumes: may not be the best approach to an IT job. Our HR dept cooks down the Word/PDF versions of resumes into their text components and stores them in a system that lets people pull up resumes by keyword - while I *think* it'd store a graphic resume, our HR people don't read

This is Android specific but ... as a Nexus 7 user, I was a little disappointed the KitKat upgrade left us with the old launcher.

INFP - So I'm a Riesling? OK, I usually buy wine by the box but next time I'm in a resto I'll try a glass.

Only spelling and grammar fixes.

Oh crap he tried on an 'extra-small' when he thought it was a medium - someone get the oxygen and I'll get the jaws of life!

Fantastic - I'm so used to my Nexus hiding behind the ASUS' MAC, I never would have thought to let the Nexus handle the sign-on so the hotel sees your TP-Link as a returning device. Brilliant!

My better-half works for a chain of craft stores. Mid-December last year a customer asked if they had a few balls of a very specific type of yarn.

I always perceive myself as a strategic pessimist. Sure, I plan for success but I also had backup plans for negative consequences as well. The people on the projects I've worked have said similar things about me over the years: You always seem to have a handful of "get us out of jail" cards in your back pocket.

That's true but, as well, I think standing allows the diaphragm to move more freely than when sitting. The speaker's breathing is deeper and more controlled as well.

I've also been told standing while you're on the phone makes you sound more confident.

HR is the last thing any of her friends and co-workers want to engage - generally it's considered "the nuclear action." (Let's just say our HR group has never been the most subtle handed.)

In it's place, discussing things thoroughly, could be valuable but not standing at a desk in front of a group of coworkers.
