Indeed.com is a search aggregator that includes all results from every jobsite, including industry-specific bulletin boards and individual corporation "careers" pages. Okay, I'm done plugging.

Poo on a pile of loo paper? Then you can just flush the lot.

My upsetting news is the breakup of a couple Dazza and I have been friends with for a number of years. I hope they can get back together.

Also, I miss my family. :(

Cicero 10-07-2008 08:33 PM

I'm heading to the tip jar!! :D

lumberjim 10-07-2008 09:37 PM

Ute,

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you still have the Catalyst Internet shingle? You could get out there and pound the pavement. Approach small businesses like car dealers and real estate offices....offer your services to give those types of companies whatever kind of edge having really cool gizmos and connectivity could provide them. Offer on call personal service. Most small companies have one or two guys that almost know what they're doing.....and they are the "IT' guys.

If you could offer a program where you go in and overhaul them with minimal hardware expense, and then sell them a monthly installment plan that puts you on retainer for anytime support.....like geeks on call.......??

whatever you do...don't get complacent. if nothing else, you could sell cars.

Cicero 10-07-2008 09:40 PM

Cloud 10-07-2008 09:51 PM

OMG, how awful.

(thinks good thoughts for you).

both at UT and at Cicero!

binky 10-08-2008 09:11 AM

The L.A. news - I just hate the way they report a fatal traffic accident as nothing more than a temporary inconvenience for your morning commute. I realize that no one knows the poor sucker who was killed, but how about a little compassion?

Cicero 10-08-2008 12:24 PM

UT did you get a chance to check out that Linux admin. link I posted?

Undertoad 10-08-2008 12:26 PM

Yes - appreciate it, but it's too far, actually; about an hour fifteen away, and in the opposite direction of my sweetie's job where she works an hour away.

monster 10-08-2008 01:33 PM

UT sucky news. Were you the only one? LIFO? You didn't need that cube farm anyway, you're worth more than that. The cellar currently has that cool new job mojo going, I can feel you're next in line.

...meanwhile, why not give the cellar a nice new tag line -it's sorts like shopping for new clothes to cheer you up, but free....

(and I will be hitting the tip jar later, soon as I get permission ;) )

...

Undertoad 10-08-2008 03:41 PM

New tag done!

Nothing so obvious, an upper-level manager decided that he didn't like me and targetted me for assassination at first possible opportunity. It happens.

binky 10-08-2008 04:50 PM

I'm so sorry UT, but I know you'll find something soon (probably an even better job). I think these things happen for a reason.

lumberjim 10-08-2008 05:24 PM

If I were you, I'd look into working for Seth Rogen as a stunt double.....doing love scenes and taste testing his pottery.

Irritating? I just drove four and a half hours straight... with the ten month old... and get to do it all over again on Sunday (today's Friday, for those of you not paying attention)... then get to do it AGAIN on TUESDAY

I'm sorry, you're looking for the irritating thread, right this way... ;)

HungLikeJesus 10-10-2008 03:08 PM

How is the gasoline supply in Atlanta now?

The things we do to get them to fall asleep.

Treasenuak 10-10-2008 03:26 PM

Gasoline supply in Atlanta... sparse. At best. None of the stations within at LEAST a 20-mile radius have any fuel, that I was able to find today. Putting the baby to SLEEP? Odd... being in the car seemed to wake her up MORE! And you're right, Shawnee... I should have said "upsetting", not "irritating" for this thread... because in all honesty, it's doing BOTH lol!

dar512 10-10-2008 03:59 PM

Lilly, one of our guinea pigs, died today. She's been listless for the last couple of days. Mrs. dar took her to the vet but they wanted $400-$1200 to keep her for observation.

I'm mostly sad for Mrs. dar. She's close to them and brushes and feeds them while she watches TV or reads.

HungLikeJesus 10-10-2008 04:14 PM

$400! What would it cost for a new one?

glatt 10-10-2008 04:18 PM

Sorry, dar.

I think we paid $15 or $20.

BigV 10-10-2008 05:28 PM

dangit. time to go CAMPING!!

Cicero 10-10-2008 05:38 PM

If you are a plant you are in trouble. Severe frost expected at 4am. Turn back now!! ;)

DanaC 10-10-2008 07:40 PM

*blinks* wow, I have been out the loop. UT I just saw this. Must have been a hell of a shock to the system. Probably end up being a blessing in disguise, you have sounded unhappy with your employers for a while.

Cic: hope all's well, honey. Have you been to the docs yet?

@ Dar, bad luck mate. Poor little bugger.

Nirvana 10-10-2008 09:13 PM

A wild black and white "kitty" just sprayed my front porch! :mad: It was eating the dog's food, I just opened the door and saw it in time to slam the door shut! It still smells to high heaven in here ! Gag!:eyebrow:

DanaC 10-10-2008 09:15 PM

lol. Sorry, Nirvana, I just misread that second sentence as 'I was eating the dog's food'....

Pie 10-10-2008 09:29 PM

Well, when you're hungry... :eyebrow:

DanaC 10-10-2008 09:31 PM

I had a sudden image of Nirvana crouched mad max style, digging into a tin of dogmeat....

ZenGum 10-10-2008 09:33 PM

Crikey, times are tough all over...

By "Kitty", do you mean skunk?

Tulip 10-11-2008 01:56 AM

My bf just hung up on me. Damn man! I'm so pizzed I can't sleep. :mad2:

ZenGum 10-11-2008 05:58 AM

:comfort:

A man's idea of a phone call is like "Gone in Sixty Seconds".

But hanging up on your GF? :headshake: not wise. Most of us have learned that.

HungLikeJesus 10-11-2008 02:11 PM

He probably just lost the connection. That happens all the time.

Nopes, I know for a fact that he got upset at me and hung up. I gave him some time to cool down. Called him back today, and he wouldn't answer my call. So, now, I'm still very pizzzzzzzzzed!:mad2:

ZenGum 10-12-2008 03:44 AM

Men. As disposable as guinea pigs. And almost as cheap. Cheaper, sometimes.

Tulip 10-12-2008 04:04 AM

Then I should dump him, eh? :evil2:

BigV 10-14-2008 01:35 PM

TheMercenary is upsetting me today.

I have come to expect more from him. Now, I'm disappointed to have to adjust downward my standards for his posts.

TheMercenary, are you simple?

I don't mean that as a compliment, like uncomplicated. Are you dumb? Why do you accept as truth the crap you're reading? And if you don't accept it, why in the world are you repeating it?

I think you're pissed or scared or some other dang thing and you're seriously off your normal game. I've been off my game before, for extended periods of time. I wouldn't wish it on a snake. I don't know what's going on and that's probably because it's none of my flippin business. I'm fine with that. I'm just looking forward to remission or at least a respite from whatever's chappin your ass. Cause you have done much better in the past, a very worthy opponent. I miss that mercy.

classicman 10-14-2008 03:01 PM

The phone calls and messages that are from "recorded people" trying to sway me to vote for their candidate. I am not home during the day and I have had at least 3 calls a day for the last two weeks. Grrr

kerosene 10-14-2008 03:29 PM

Hit and run on our vehicle. :mad:

BigV 10-14-2008 03:30 PM

Sh*t.

classicman 10-14-2008 03:35 PM

Oh that Sux Case - sorry to hear that. :(

kerosene 10-14-2008 03:40 PM

Well, it isn't un-driveable, but it is a pain in the ass...maybe this more belongs in the irritating thread or one of its derivatives.

Election day is soon. win or lose the stress gets dialed down.

BigV 10-14-2008 05:45 PM

Ok. Recalibrated.

Thanks.

lookout123 10-14-2008 06:28 PM

I remember the cellar getting like this four years ago as well. The cellar is home to a disproportionately high number of liberal/left leaning individuals. the conservative/right leaning types tend to get puckered up a bit more as they feel outnumbered and isolated in their views. It will build to a crescendo over the next two weeks and then two days after the election is settled people will start to relax a little.

This year seems to be more relaxed though. I think it is partly due to the fact that most D's and liberals feel pretty confident in Obama's ability to run away with the election whereas no one had any faith in Kerry to pull it out.

Sundae 10-14-2008 06:35 PM

Perhaps that's why I feel at home here.
Liberal and left leaning in American terms = centre right in UK terms
Not my politics, but people I can broadly agree with

But the bottom line - and I feel I have to keep stressing this as an outsider - is the intelligence of the posters, their ability to argue, their reason in the face of opposing views IS the Cellar.

Over and over and over again.
The Cellar is a collection of people (hosted and supported by Tony) who have disparate views, politics, religious beliefs, nationalities, experiences and backgrounds, who come together and make the best website ever. End of.

If Republican US President Dwight D. Eisenhower were here to run today, he'd probably be considered a pinko commie.
