FlailingJohn, Please do not take this the wrong way, but, if your cover letters and resumes read the way your post does, we may have identified the reason you're not getting interviews. Your English skirts dangerously close to being its own language. Unfortunately, when you send a resume or cover letter, it is the only representation of you that a prospective employer receives. If it reads poorly, it reflects on you poorly. We all know that proper English does not always reflect a person's competence or qualification, but it is the first thing a potential employer sees. It has been said that it's easier to find a job when you have a job. It's also been said that it's easier to pay your bills when you have a job. Given these two thoughts, I'd take anything you can get in the short run. Then, if applicable, have someone work with you on your resume, cover letter, etc. Getting the job you want sometimes requires help. I found a job I was interested in and had a placement firm help me with the format and layout of my resume. 7 years in the military prevented me from ever having to prepare a decent resume. So, I got help. "It's not what you know. It's who you know." So, focus on assembling your resources - including help - and then attack the jobs you're interested in. But, in the interim, get some cash flow going to cover some of the bills. Good luck brother, topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Do not go to the grocery store on an empty stomach. You will buy impulsively and will purchase things you don't need and may not be able to afford. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Yes, But the problems are intermittent. I'm having trouble with Apple's site right now. , topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Obviously, you've never consumed, or have chosen to forget that you've consumed, the MRE - or, Meal Ready to Eat. We're talking 2,000 Calories + in each one. Note: The United States Marines consider MRE to stand for Meal Ready to Enjoy. Oooh Raah. Kill - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

I agree that to purchase an unfrosted Pop-Tart would be without purpose. However, Kellogg's boasts 5 flavors of Pop-Tart in its Plain - or unfrosted - product line. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Kellogg's lists 27 varieties of Pop-Tart on its website. The flavors listed are from the Kellogg's Frosted Pop-Tart product series - the most common Pop-Tart product. If you fancy yourself a consumer of the exquisite yummy goodness of Pop-Tarts Frosted Pastries, please indicate which is your favorite flavor. Otherwise, please choose one of the other answers. Special note to Sunny - I intend to measure the mean, median, and standard deviation values for this study. If I find that the Cherry Pop-Tart receives an inordinate number of votes, I shall deem the collected data useless. "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Is there any chance your friend knows things about plumbing? If so, lawrocket might be able to do some barter system legal work. He has a low-flow toilet issue he's trying to work out. - topher Nothwithstanding the joke, I'm sorry for your friend's loss. My condolences. "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

That's 'stupid dumbass'. Have some respect. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Be careful with your discriminatory regard for certain flavors of Pop-Tarts. I assure you, Pop-Tarts do not discriminate; they will all burn your torso just the same. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

I thought that this was the Jelly Of The Month Club. At least, that's what Cousin Eddie said. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

What? Cheating on the Pop-Tarts? Shame Shame... - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Here's the way I see it, and remember, I'm biased towards fun... If you have nothing to do, it's your own fault. Get off your lazy ass and find something to entertain yourself. If you're doing something you hate, don't capitulate in the face of the forces surrounding you. Identify and come to terms with the fact that you hate what you're doing. Then, align the resources necessary to execute a change, and then damnit, change! The hardest thing I have ever done in my life is leave my wife. She was (is) a wonderful person, but the situation wasn't right for either of us. So, I had to get us both out of it. At first, she hated my guts, but recently, she admitted to me that I had done the right thing by leaving, and that we are both better off. So, either way, get off your duff, rip the band-aid off, or whatever's clever. Just get going. Life is short. Money sucks. The coffee's bitter. Yadda Yadda Bing Bang. It doesn't mean you can't be smiling most of the time. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

When you get to the mall, burst through the doors and exclaim in a loud voice: "I love the smell of commerce!" - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

MSC, The unnecessary and impulsive purchase can sometimes be good. When my friends and I go on major skiing, climbing, canoeing, or mountain biking trips, we enforce an unnecessary purchase policy. Each member of the team is required to make a completely unnecessary purchase and then use said purchase. Often, we'll pick a stupid item for one another. One ski trip, my buddies made me buy an insulated mug that held close to 120 Oz of fluid. It was ridiculously large. I was required to use it. So, I carried it in my backpack and used it for mid-day soup and cocoa. Well, one day we were doing some backcountry skiing and I made a profoundly hasty turn to avoid some nasty terrain. I lost my balance and began flipping and spinning all over the place, completely out of control. On one flip, I landed squarely on my backpack with great force and violence. When I came to rest, I was sure I had destroyed the camera I was carrying in my pack. But instead, I found a perfectly intact camera and one rather finely pulverized insulated mug.

I believe you get your ass kicked for saying some shit like that around here. , topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

You forgot some key information, kai2ki: How old will she be? How long have you two been together? What are some general categories of interest for her? Does she jump? This information will help the dz.com population at large form better suggestions. Thank you, topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Peter: Ah, I can’t do that. She might get all pissed off at me. Besides, I think the guy might be able to help. He did help Anne lose weight. Samir: Peter, she’s anorexic. Peter: Yeah, I know. The guy’s really good. "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

ACMESkydiver, Yeah..... I guess I'm going to have to come in on Saturdays and Sundays for that one. Sorry, it's now 'Gangsta', but it still feels good. Damn Good. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

93. I guess I'm irritating. I never knew. My Mom always said I was nice guy and could be anything I wanted to be - as long as it was a doctor. So, I guess I annoy her, too. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Aw weegegirl, You just need more flair. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

It's neat right up until the point that you realize he's missing the most important point of articulation. What's a girl to do with an ill-designed toy like that? - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Damn it feels good to be a gangster! What the fuck does 'PC Load Letter' mean? Damn it feels good to be a gangster! Yes, I believe you have my stapler Damn it feels good to be a gangster! - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

flyhi, My understanding is that the differentiating factor is aircraft. Historically, the President's fixed-wing conveyance has always been handled by the Air Force, whilst his rotary-wing conveyance has been the responsibility of the Marine Corps. So, I guess the question would be: Does GWB jump from a 182 or a helo? - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins
