Are you a mad scientist?
Do you like little statements like :
"Gather enough matter to equal Jupiter's mass."?
Do you think:
If I could gather that much mass WOULD I BE STUCK ON THIS LOUSY BACKWARDS APE ROC. . . .oh, hello everyone. : ) ?
No, really. In our work-a-day non-watch winding world of the future, it's really hard for a dictatorial mad scientist to really find the parts he looking for.
That's where MitchCo. comes in. Here at MitchCo. we've been working with the most advanced techniques for aquiring self conquer materials for the discerning mad scientist. Only the largest and most gravitationally constant pieces of large planetary matter are dew picked from our 'secret' Ort Cloud base near the Kevlar V Penal Colony. Delivery is guaranteed to the microsecond with our new patented Dr. Zeebor's wormtube delivery system. Straight from our warehouse to your lab in .8 sec or your next Dr. Zeebor's 'Screaming Weasels' pizza is free.
Note: Offer not good in West Virginia, Guam, Fr. Azores and the Crimean Peninsula

Amanda, how's the job search going? And is there anything one of us can do to help, like mailing you the help-wanted ads from local papers?
No local papers, unless you're about to have a mega-employment issue like the Washington Post is down here. If anybody has a personal acquaintance with a manager who is hiring, though, let me know :) (I'm a Cisco networking expert with delusions of (read: unpaid experience in) Unix sysadminning and programming.)

Wow. At that moment where Stacy's about to open the fridge, I just had this sudden Cowboy Bebop flashback ;)
and then she wrote:
Oooh, this *is* nifty! Portraits of cats as painted by someone progressively going insane...
Yes, that was neat. I thought at first that even the "normal" cats were rather alarming. The later stages would make a nifty carpet.

Amanda: If you want a second shift job that makes you hate your life I may be able to find you something. But the pay sucks and it makes you want to die (well, at least it does that for me but I work first shift and the position is the engineering section and not support but I remain pessimistic)

Would anyone know a website that has a list of all the various area codes and the states associated with them? I know its a bit of an odd request, but, it would be useful at work.

Foreign elves taking over indexing functions at Google? Dammit, now they're moving our search engine jobs overseas, too!

I think Mark is stuck. Someone give him a whack. Sharon, you're closest to him.
--Jon
Actually, I think Fred is technically closest to Chicago.

Will the forum reimburse me for gas and lodging if I provide receipts?

If I recall correctly, we voted down travel reimbursements... so no, we cannot reimburse you for travel expenses to reset a looping Mark.

Well, I don't really want second shift, no.
You guys' economy out there is appalling, if I may say so... I don't know how to convince these people that a) I really do want a Philly job, not VA (got my first recruiter emailing me with a local job today), and b) that I really do know all sorts of stuff I'm not certified for.
But here I am ready to give up after two days... silly me. Well, it is kind of a corrollary to the disturbing fact that I've run out of job leads after only two days. Doesn't anybody need some Ciscos configured?
(Jessica, I was thinking the same thing about the travel reimbursements :)
--Amanda
P.s. Yeah, send me local classified listings... philly.com doesn't have 'em...
