leith, you\'ll be glad to know that triple canopy roundly rejected me. i\'m happy to know it, too...


Thank goodness. I mean I want you to have a decent job to support yourself and loved ones but hate to see one\'s morals so easily corrupted for $$$ and a company that is aiding this "war on terror".

yeah, after a while filling out their kinda creepy online stuff (no, i do not have experience with active listening or mental persuasion), i sorta wanted an interview just out of curiosity. thier recruiter guy was all over me the whole time from sending in my resume (almost immediate reply from the guy) to filling out their site\'s stuff (emailing me during it). i was completely honest, so its no real surprise that they didn\'t want me. they say they are seeking \'quiet professionals\', and he could probably just tell that quiet isn\'t normally equated with me...

Oh crap...sorry. I was thinking of Halliburton.


no worries.

that make sense about Halliburton, they are only there because of Dick.
Love many, trust few and don\'t be late.

thanks man! i\'m hoping to hear from a list management company that caters to the most ridiculously wonderful liberal non-profits you could imagine! from the sierra club to like, the association for gay jewish aids doctors. i *want* that job and am in the process of schmoozing them as much as possible, including lowering my salary requirements.

Taking less money for a "good" job is totally worth it.

Again good luck and thanx for realizing my initial post was not meant as a personal insult just my way of posting my displeasure.
