hey lady, you are part of the problem -- if everyone is applying for 40 jobs a day, then on an average, yes, there will be a giant stack of 40 resumes a day that yours is going into, even if the number of applicants equals the number of jobs. i'm not saying that hers is a bad strategy, but it's awfully naive to defect and not expect other people to defect with this conclusion.
December 8, 2008: what i don't understand is why a radio station that doesn't play kid rock, and would never play sweet home alabama, is playing kid rock's version of sweet home alabama. marketing is a weird, weird thing.
September 8, 2008: is it illegal to park a car in while parallel parking on the side of the road? obviously it's quite unethical, but i'm curious if it's illegal, and, if not, what the hell you are supposed to do about it as the victim.
March 6, 2008: i find this typo incredibly amusing somehow: "in particular when the brokerage house they work for has investment baking relations with the firm they recommend." investment baking! yum _and_ profitable.

"The reluctance to violate standard procedures and to act innovatively can also be an effective defense against subsequent regret because it is easy to imagine doing the conventional thing and more difficult to imagine doing the unconventional one." of course! makes perfect sense.

January 22, 2008: something really ironic happened to me today. so california has this new cell phone law, no non-hands-free cell phone use while driving. today i was driving and this woman next to me was talking on her phone. i didn't like the cut of her jib, so i was going to call the CHP to report it, but then i realized the horrible insolubility of the situation.
January 11, 2008: i receive an inordinate thrill from typing times like "2:70" into my microwave.
January 10, 2008: i would just like to note that negative indexing notation (array[-1] referring to the last element of an array, etc.) makes me really, really happy on many levels.
December 5, 2007: not that they are telling us to do anything illegal here, by any means, but this snippet from a textbook i'm reading is kind of funny: "Differential taxation has occurred in the past, continues to occur today, and will likely persist into the future[9]."
