Ah, screw making it a business. I think if you make it clear that it is a hobby and you will be glad to do them for people, but that there would be no guaranteed length of time for delivery, then you could make them at your own pace. If someone got fed up with waiting or was rude, you could just cancel their order for them so that they won't have anything to complain about. Isn't that the way it always is. There is always those few people who end up ruining it for everyone else.

Southwest has been pretty cheap on domestic fares lately... "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

So will you continue to make them and just let it be known that they will get done when they get done, or are you stopping completely? "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

Maybe what you really mean is, "Life is much easier for people who can't afford to be that picky about women." "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

See, now you aren't making any sense at all...

The worst I managed to do as far as dumb mistakes was I deployed on my back the first time I jumped my new rig. It was the first time I had used a BOC and I was nervous. Needless to say it was a hard opening. I scared my DZO to death, but I was to ignorant of what exactly I had done to be scared while it was happening. It retrospect, let's just say it was a good learning experience, after I was told what could have happened.

Hey, I was just private messaging someone about this. Waddya know.

But is it the emulation program, if you run the command.com from your start menu?... "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I am pretty sure that win9x has full DOS commands available. "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

Well, everything I say is acedemic at best, since I haven't even gotten my first job yet. (I wouldn't consider Accountemps a real career type job) But based on my record so far, I know lots of ways to not get the call-back. Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

Actually, the experience I have had with that is with big companies, where the first contact I have is with someone whose job it is to do the interview, but who doesn't make any decisions. That's fairly annoying, because it turns out, that when I get around to asking questions, they don't know any of the answers. It's amazing that big business ever got big in the first place, when you consider how inefficient most of them are. "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky.

I think this has a lot to do with the company. If you are trying to get in with a mediocre company this may be the case. In my experience, the HR people that I have had to talk to are pretty sharp, or are just following a script which then gets handed off to someone else, after the interview is over, who makes a decision, based on answers given and notes made.

"Rapid altitude ajustment"?

There is an easy solution for this problem... ... don't enlist.

That's really funny, I am going to have to re-watch Eraser now. The first time I saw it I wasn't a skydiver so nothing even occurred to me. "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

Nerd Alert! Just kidding, I know a lot of that stuff that the average user/consumer thinks is useless information too. "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

That methodology probably works a bit better with software. But in business, if they ask you about say credit reconcilliation or some such stuff, then you are expected to know it if you say you do. You can't just go home and learn it in a week. But yea, I even say on my resume that I can learn any piece of software fast, which is true, even if I have never heard of it before. My dad keeps saying, "Don't worry. You're young, you'll find something eventually." But don't want to get stuck gaining experience in a career that I never really wanted to do in the first place. Oh well, until that day when the right job comes along, I guess I will continue, jobhunting online and posting to dropzone.com as I work as an Accountemps lackey.

Yea, but it is even worse for me, because I have no relevant experience. Sounds like you have been doing programming for awhile, so that can't hurt your odds. I have a friend who graduated same time I did with a Comp. Sci. degree and he is still doing temp work for Sprint (over a year now) and they still won't hire him on, because of their stupid hiring freezes. Pretty stupid because they are paying more for him as a temp than if they just hired him. "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

I have been told that you should definately not do spirals or fast turns under canopy with a rig that has a fxc 12000 on it. "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

Sorry folks but I have to vent some frustration. Why does it seem like every job worth having requires 2 or 3 years of apparently already doing that job? How can you get experience in a field if you have to have that same experience to get into the field in the first place? You spend your whole childhood and school years being told to go to college and get good grades so that you can get a good job. So then you spend an ungodly amount of money putting yourself through college, and guess what, you have to have experience before you can get a job and get some experience. WTF! It doesn't help that I haven't gotten to jump in like a month because of the stupid weather. I hate winter. "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky.

Oh man, a skydiving reality show sounds absolutely horrible. It would be so boring. Yech! "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

I think a stitched logo would be better than a silkscreen design that will wear off after a few jump and washes... Those are more expensive, but they look a lot cooler and last way longer. "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

That's the only book that I have 2 copies of for some reason. One is the big blue one with all 5 books and the shortstory included and the other one is a leather bound with the same stuff in it. Yep, I'm a nerd. But funny is funny... "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky. Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I."

I have heard that morpheus is really good...

I'm just glad I have a Firelite...
