"Resumes from Hell"

I was intrigued by the title of this article, so clicked on it today. I started to laugh when I read "Lesson One"! Anyone know who this -must- be from?!

"When I'm not programming, I perform magic. I like solar applications, optical stuff, cool technology and anything to do with radio waves. I juggle and twist balloon animals. I bungee jump on occasion, and I would like to experience skydiving soon."

Well it almost describes me... only I've already skydived and I haven't really considered bungy jumping.

Don't. Its boring. Although you will get a serious laugh out of the ride operators telling everyone its just like skydiving. Atleast I did. I did ask the operators how many were jumpers. One had done 1 tandem. Wow.

It's not that boring, but I wouldn't spend all my jump money on it. I like the ground rush.
I've got the "Lifetime Membership" at Nanaimo, British Columbia, so if I'm in the neighborhood, I'll drop in for a quick bungee into the river, $25 CDN.

HEY! HOW IN THE HELL DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO PUT MY RESUMES ON THE NET!!! Itdiver, you of all people then place copies on Dz.com? Well, at least you missed the one that I explain that on my previous job- I worked in an adult bookstore and my duties included cleaning the booths after client used them and I saved the company money by not using gloves or rags & mops, just my bare hand,even saved $$ on water by wiping my hands on my jeans

I did the one at Bloukranz Bruidge in South Africa once. 216 meters. Showed up holding my camera helmet.

Me: I'd like to make a bungee jump.
Bungee Dude (BD) : Great! You'll love it.
Me: May I wear my camera helmet - I can't do it unless I can.
BD: Are you a skydiver?
Me: Does it show that much?
BD: Well, the helmet...
Me: Yeah.
BD: Yeah, no worries. We get skydivers all the time. Youll love it!
Me: Okay - How much?

~Later~

I'm swinging on the end of a bungee thinking I just burned about three and a half lift-tickets, while BD is being lowered down on a winch from the bridge.

Me (to myself): That was all right. Glad I did it, I guess.
BD: All right, Jerry! That was a GREAT exit - very stable! Stomach down the whole way!
Me: Thanks, I've had some practice.
BD: Just like skydiving, eh?
Me: Well, um...not exactly - but, I enjoyed the jump.

I think it's worthwhile for most anyone to do once. Beyond that, skydiving's where it's at if comparisons must be made imo.

Hey Lori, how did I spell your name wrong "Itdiver" Correct or not? I"ll still say I'm sorry because I learnedas far as men & women are concerned "I'm wrong, I always will be wrong, it's always my fault" so I apologize for this and everything I'm going to do. Bryan
