Interesting. Another consideration might be the age of the hiring manager.

From what I've read, the guidelines specify an increased percentage of non-fiction. Since it's a percentage, this would suggest that non-fiction is taking up more of the share of total reading material and, hence, fiction material would decrease. English is the class fiction is most read in; science and math don't…

Looking at this made me want to slam my head into my desk.

It is funny that you mention forging cable damascus; I have had blacksmithing on my resume since my early days at college, and I can honestly say that it has gotten me where I am today. It also helps that I am a material science engineer, so there was quite a bit of technical crossover.

If you have a pet these car alternatives aren't good options. I can't take my pet in most cabs, any public transportation, Uber and/or Lyft . I want to take my dog anywhere I better have my own car or we're walking there together. I know that sounds ridiculous to some, but I love taking my dog with me in the warmer…

The first THREE jobs I had out of college all said the same thing during the interview:
"I see you have Tae Kwon Do on your resume..."
and that would launch into a long discussion about martial arts. It had absolutely nothing to do with the job but got me talking on friendly terms with the interviewer instead of the…

I purchased an elaborate casket for my grandmother's viewing. I didn't want anyone to think I didn't love her. She was cremated the next day.

I heard that in Texas (where I live), it's perfectly legal to bury the deceased on land that you own within 24 hours of declared death, as long as they're sufficiently deep and not near any municipal supply lines (gas, water, sewage, etc.). Can anyone verify that? That's how I want to be buried.

No kidding. When I go, I think I'd prefer my family to just have me cremated or whatever the cheapest option would be. I wouldn't care. Take the money and go in a vacation or something, give them time to repair.

Honestly? I got rid of Amazon Prime. Two day shipping is wayyy too convenient.

My problem in the past hasn't been day to day over-spending , but projects that seem to grow like snowballs that roll down hill and become avalanches. So now, when I consider diving into something, I look for the end point of it and potentially what that could cost me. Especially if it's something that I'm not…

Desktop Environment? Where we're going, you don't need... desktop environments.
