Hello everybody! I'm going to catch up...

Hey, Skek, Jeopardy had a whole category on pigeons tonight. I only got one right. Would have had three with just a couple more seconds' time.

You don't really get much time in Jeopardy though.

I'm getting too old for it, I know the answers and can't pull them up fast enough.

what do you count as time expiring, when a player buzzes in, when a player "questions," when time expires with no correct questions, or something else?

edit: or are you playing jeopardy as a computer game?

When a player "questions."

pooflady wrote:When a player "questions."

that underestimates your score, doesn't it? 'cause, knowing you know the correct question, even if the exact phrasing doesn't occur to you right away, you coulda buzzed in ahead of them and then taken your time pulling the answer out of your brain.

i would count the ones you were a couple of seconds late on as correct!

You're absolutely right. I like the way you think. I got three right in that category.

Pigeons... silly beasts

I'm lurking, and you guys have gotten very chatty lately!

We're trying to distract you...

Watching house. Trying to avoid Twitter. And soon to watch 24. Nice TV night. Should be grading myself.

among other things I am sure.

What I need is a lack of distraction and an increase in creative self-promotion. I really need this letter to sound good so we don't have any problems with HR, since this is the job I've been working on creating since August.

We were out for 40 minutes, even though it is windy and cold. No big pee. No poo. Now he is looking at the door and whining.
We went to the dog park for over an hour today!
What the heck does he want??????

If I spent that much time with the rats, they would be thrilled!

He wants you to move somewhere warmer where he can go in comfort. That or he just wants to be outside.

SkekTek wrote:He wants you to move somewhere warmer where he can go in comfort. That or he just wants to be outside.

i agree with option #1. windy and cold are not good pooping conditions.

edit: and he probably doesn't like his wee-wee hangin' out when it's that way, either.

What do you base your grade on? Looks? Sense of humor? Sexual prowess? Style?

dontwantaname wrote:He wants to live with dogs and boys.
I'm glad that the foster home had no interest in him. I would feel guilty if they did. They had a huge yard, a dog, a kid, a inground pool with a cover that he could jump on.
We have a yard with open space about the size of the pool.
No other dog.
No kid.

But he doesn't have to share you with anybody.

dontwantaname wrote:Did you let Poof proofread it?

Killingtime use to like to check stuff like that. Too bad she is a post and run now.

Not this one. Poof did read some of Orc's letters. I'm not terribly concerned, I just need to get HR to forward to the hiring committee so they can hire me. The interview, if there is one, will be a formality. I talked to the hiring committee on Sunday and we have been keeping in touch since I approached him in August about the job. I've even already done some consulting on good will. I have to make sure I mention all the requirements, that's what I keep going through and trying to think what else I can say and if I can word it better. I really hate self promotion. I like my resume and DAJ helped me with that, but these letters for the University are just ridiculous.

pooflady wrote:What do you base your grade on? Looks? Sense of humor? Sexual prowess? Style?

Heh...

Grading is content- I don't really grade on style. However I have major peeves with certain misused words (effect vs. affect). And I don't like bulls**t like when people answer questions with everything they know instead of just the information requested.

perhaps ms da could help with the letter also. or mr. orc. or a friend or colleague in the biz. you wouldn't be selling yourself, someone else would be selling you; that might be easier.

You missed my point. You said you should be grading yourself.

i got extra credit once for answering more than requested.

pooflady wrote:You missed my point. You said you should be grading yourself.

mabe he was the one misusing words and answering too much and stuff!

no1 wrote:i got extra credit once for answering more than requested.

As did I!

I had professors that wouldn't give full credit if you didn't. When I was a tutor there was an especially bad professor, he wouldn't give you any credit if you didn't hit on at least 5 points related to the question. I had one student on her 4th time through the class and she knew the material, but could not pass his exams. He was the only professor for the class and as a result the main office had to get creative with her degree. She ended up with a custom degree without his class.

I haven't been able to bond with the cat, when he is here, because of that.

You can't bond with the cat because Rusty doesn't read? Maybe hire a tutor.

dontwantaname wrote:Well, he looks OK, B+
Seems funny A

i guess that's better than "seems ok, looks funny."

pooflady wrote:You can't bond with the cat because Rusty doesn't read? Maybe hire a tutor.

heh.

what kind of personality does the cat have? does he want to play or just sit on your lap?
