I have an almost phobic mentality when it comes to my resume. There are times when I can’t read it or edit it properly. I made a mistake once and an editor called me out on it in the ugliest manner possible. I now realize that I would never have wanted to work for such a bastard, but at the time it was humiliating.

You always want an offer, no matter how awful the job seems during the interview - unless you're on Unemployment benefits, where they expect you to take any job in your field that pays similar to what you had.

JohnG, did he point the error out in front of other people?

No. It was in a phone message.

BK, speaking of bagels, as you were in the notes: Were you able to tell if "Pink Fish" on haineshisway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8Op9CNMKNY got extra views from the link being posted in the Times comments?

Well it seems that a small town about 10 miles from me is the subject of a Frederick Wiseman documentary....it is called Monrovia, Indiana.

The previews have a lot of familiar places in it....I didn't recognize any of the people.....we shall see what it does.....I guess it has played a couple of festivals.

TOD:

I have BLOCKED such things from my mind.

Thursday morning greetings! It’s cold and rainy here in Memphis today, not fit for running around an unfamiliar city by myself. While Richard is in clergy meetings all day, I’m enjoying some hotel solitude. Reading and knitting are topmost on my agenda.

TOD - Three (count ‘em, 3) times having to apply and compete for jobs I was already doing quite competently, thank you. The last time I was prepared to walk out if I hadn’t gotten the appointment outright.

I have been up for three hours and I still can't get motivated to do anything.

Bruce, to answer yesterdays question, not with me. It was a very small place called "The Hock Shop" near Gower on Sunset.

Bruce what did you drink at bars?

I'm always surprised that with enough ice, a Sprite blends in well as a drink.

I would rather have water.

Jane · « **Reply #45 on:** October 25, 2018, 10:13:07 AM »

When I don't want alcohol a Shirley Temple works for me, if they don't use Sprite.

I cannot drink and drive. When I was 40 a girlfriend and I stopped for lunch after a morning of shopping. We went to a nice restaurant and sat at the bar to order drinks while we waited for our table. There were very few women in the restaurant and none at the bar. I still laugh at the teasing I got when I ordered my Shirley Temple. If only my friend had been driving that day I could have indulged along with her though my way was far more entertaining.

If I can survive the next four weeks without taking a leap from the roof, things might be okay. The last time things were this horrible was 1990 when a louse I thought was a good friend sacked me from a job to clear the way for his climb to replace a mutual friend - and to cozy up to a "name" conductor who thinks he is Leonard Bernstein - spread the word around that I was fired for second-rate work, and I couldn't get hired for three years until I sent a letter to BK asking if he might at some point need an orchestrator.

FJL, I haven't kept up with those videos for years - so would have no way of knowing if it had spiked.

I'm up, I'm up - was up at five-thirty, six-thirty, and finally back to bed at seven-thirty - so maybe six-and-a-half hours of sleep.

bk · « **Reply #52 on:** October 25, 2018, 12:07:01 PM »

At the six-thirty arising, I was on the computer when suddenly I was not on the Internet - just like that. I did a restart to no avail, then called Spectrum. It was the usual modem stopped communicating with the router silliness, so I unplugged the router, plugged it back in and all was well.

I also called PayPal. Apparently last night at exactly the time I was trying to use my debit card, they had a system update - doing something that would make using the debit card more pleasurable. I informed him there was nothing pleasurable about having the card declined - twice - when there was money to cover the little charge at Gelson's, and that ie was embarrassing. He apologized - and said it was the same thing the other night. I suggested to him that they inform their customers of these things in advance of them happening. They won't.

bk · « **Reply #54 on:** October 25, 2018, 12:09:55 PM »

Then back to bed - the alarm did go off at eleven. I shut it off and went back to sleep for another hour.

Do you have a Mac? On the MAC, when I'm in the account the video is on, there are two blue rectangular boxes at the bottom right.

One says ANALYTICS and the other says EDIT VIDEO.

ANALYTICS will give you lots of info about number of recent views, and you can toggle for other period lengths.
EDIT VIDEO is strangely named, as it just means Edit the text around the video, and change the choices you've made - not edit the video itself, it seems.
