It's hard to know what to do with a cover letter. I've been basing mine on a couple of examples from the BBC and from Monster, but they both contradict each other. Do this, no, don't do that. Yet another source says to market yourself like a salesman getting commission. It makes sense on the one hand, you are selling yourself for commission, ( Read more... )

There is something I often forget about, which separates the great athletes from the weekend warriors, focus. It's incredibly evident watching Agassi play Blake in the U.S. Open.. I believe that it is a skill that I not only lacked when I played tennis in high school, but lack and covet in every day life. It's on the line, and Andre is smacking ( Read more... )

I have a bizarre headache. It's been two days since I last had a shower. I don't think that's the cause of the thing though. My neck is stiff.
I just downloaded the latest iTunes. It looks great but the first thing I notice is that iJournal doesn't automatically detect music from it. Boo. Maybe I'll try downloading the latest iJournal.

It's a small victory and by no means permanent, but the Diamondbacks are in first place in the West. They have won six straight. I almost listened to the game last night, but I needed, finally to get to sleep. Bad ass!

Freakin' Twilight Zone. I've got this headache. Kind of a bad one. And, I can't sleep. I figure something soothing on TV. Not the Diamondbacks getting pantsed by the Expos, not the war on terrorism, no, oh, look, America's Funniest Home Videos on ABC Family. Despite the depressing nature of the show, it is funny. Or...usually. Lots of it ( Read more... )

Since when has anyone ever agreed 100% with these lists anyway? Lifted from wtrmelonpucker
