School zones must get interesting.

While I don't think making your resume colorful or fancy is meaningful, I also can't think of many jobs in the world where presenting information in an easy-to-read and helpful way isn't a useful skill. I'm much more interested in someone who formats their resume in a way that is easy-to-read than one who presents…

Mostly the latter. Very large companies will have someone who is in charge of hiring, but generally the "hiring manager" is the person in charge of the group that is hiring — the person who wants a new employee and makes the ultimate decision on who to hire.

Yesssss. I regularly get 3+ page resumes nowadays (not that I am on the interviewer side of things often, but hte last few times I have been). I don't discount those candidates, but it doesn't improve my initial impression of them, especially if it's mostly filler /nonsense. I try hard to keep my resume to one page…

Right? Was he afraid of getting raped or something?

Sigh. LIke I said, the mirror glued to your windshield usually gives you a great view of the car behind you, and that's it. I'm not going to try and explain this to people. People have a religious fervor with this stupid blind spot mirror thing. Never had an accident or even a near-miss with blind spots because I…

It's also flawed in traffic, which unfortunately a lot of us spend a good amount of time in. Having your mirrors set the "traditional" way lets you see back further because it aims the side mirrors straight back from the side of your car, showing you between lanes. Setting them this way, your center mirror will show…

The Friend Zone is stupid because it assumes that everyone has a chance until tehy blow it. I don't agree — if someone doesn't find you physically attractive, they're probably not gonna magically start later, despite what RomComs tell you.

Ehhh.... I hate ot speak in absolutes, so let me just say that in GENERAL, this works out where you both say "it doesn't bother you," but in reality, your "bit of a crush" is probably a little stronger than a bit, and you'll never date anyone because somewhere in your head you're hoping your crush will come around. …

I think generalizing about the types of people who are bad drivers is a bad idea. I've had "problems" with every type of person, and making a generalization would almost surely just be confirmation bias based on my own prejudices. Elderly people can get confused and failing vision is a problem for SOME of them — I…

Anyone over the age of 6 years old who doesn't eat their crusts needs a dick punch.

Exactly! That's what I was trying to say. There's no amount of amazing that would overshadow shitting on the floor. This made-up scenario also assumes this guy never has to poop anywhere but his home. He's never stayed overnight at a hotel? Had to poop at work? It's one of the most implausible stories I've ever…

It airs as it's performed on teh east coast (give or take a few seconds for delay).

Even if that person exists, how amazing would they ahve to be in EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF LIFE for someone to marry them (and stay married to them)? It would never happen.

YOur average American doesn't even realize a Koala isn't a bear, it's a marsupial!

Thansk for the info. I guess that last bit is the piece i was concerned about — since you don't have a "contract" with these companies it seems like it would be easier for them to just "lose" your number. Good to know that's rarely the case.

I'm not particularly "worried" about anything, so much as curious. I've had a Google Voice number for years and have hesitated to make it my primary nubmer because of all the MMS limitations. Thankfully those are finally going away so ... we shall see.

Great! Thanks for the info.

Good to know! Thanks.

Mm, now that Google Voice is starting to finally fix their MMS issue I'm finally considering using it as my main number, rather than the number I only give people smart enough to understand its limitations.
