  1. Let me get this straight...you corresponded with a guy for six whole months yet you were so cautious and apprehensive about him that you couldn't decide whether it was advisable to meet him...then you finally met him in person and within a few hours of arrival cut loose for a weekend of drunken partying, any worries tossed to the wind...well, what the hell? - a good time is a good time aint it?... well, OKKAAAAYY, WHATEVER.

  2. step 1: create a new username, something like "girlclimber"

    or "seymour jugs"

     

    step 2: find a good photo for your avatar, maybe something like

    this might work just fine:

    step 3: post in climbing partners forum

     

    Now THAT'S how to post an effective troll.

     

  3. Somebody call my name?

    I tend to accomplish goals of getting out a certain amount

     

    Yes, and I agree with that. And some of the best days were camping, hiking and fishing with neices and nephews when they were young, although I have to admit it's been nice to have more time available for more challenging outings also. I don't really consider one or the other more or less worthwhile, but I do like to get out.

  4. I guess in my case I found that after going to so many interviews my attitude toward them got to the point it wasn't worth going anymore for awhile. Like interviewing 4 separate people at the same company and answering the same questions 4 separate times in a row, my boredom with the process probably was apparent to them. Then go to another company and answer the same questions all over again. Hey, I've perfected the answers and I'm still not getting the job. All I can say is maybe try a bit to keep the process from wearing you out that way, so you're fresh for what could be the right job. And I don't think it's just "me" because it didn't used to be like this, even in IT.

  5. I've also found that job searching in IT fields sucks these days. The employers seem to want to do excessively long interviews of every applicant that comes along so that most of the applicants end up being rejected. I recommend only applying for jobs that are really a close fit and try to avoid employers that want multi-day interviews (or even more than 1/2 day). You wont find a job any faster but at least there will be less wasted effort. And recruiters never seem to do any good. Good luck, after a year of interviewing in this "hot" market I was unable to move from where I am.
