BigSqwert Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 22, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) I'm going through the process of applying for jobs. ugh. Cover letters... resumes... I;ve never had to do this before. I got lucky and had a job right out of college that I didnt have to apply for. yea, I'm spoiled, but now I'm creating a resume and cover letter from scratch. You should be able to find some decent ones online using google. You could probably find a few good ones that match your current role. Just mix and match certain elements you find into a single document. And it never hurts to have friends proofread it when you're done and give you some feedback.

So, she's basically writing the cover letter for me. lol Thanks for the idea though, i did find a nice template that I like If I have have to send out some sort of an official letter or email, it goes through my wife first. she cleans it up, and away it goes.

I couldn't imagine what you saw and would like to learn more about that place - you might quite possibly could be the best tour guide of anyone. WEEEEE!! We get a documentary from Flaxx!

southsider2k5 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 There might not be anything worse than having puking kids, while puking in between cleaning up the kids puke. Let's just say this weekend was a wasted weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigklita Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) The marine iguanas that are there snort out excess salt. I just happened to watch a BBC documentary on Galapagos a couple of days ago. It was pretty sweet. Going there would be one of my dreams, to walk in the islands that contributed so much to biology and our understanding of life.

I caught some excellent up-close video of the marine iguanas snorting their briny snot. I'll get it up on YouTube over the next couple days/weeks and post a link.
