Keep up lol. Pivot table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was asked about Excel in my current job interview. I told him upfront. Normally the only time I use it is to enter some data into an existing worksheet. That's pretty much what everyone here does. We get preformatted worksheets we enter shipping data, completion data etc..for the customer. I...

Thankfully next Friday hell or high water I'm out of this. Guy who I was supposed to come in for an interview, lunch and spend some time looking around at the town etc...called me just now. He got a flight this afternoon and flew back home. He wanted to know if he sent his receipt for his...

If we shut those down a large portion of "students" would find out they aren't destined for college and instead have to work for a living. Can't have that.

For every $100 that goes into sudent aid overall in the country tuition goes up $65 on average over all.. I don't have the link handy. Just pointing out that it's a never ending circle. Pour more money in and the tuition will go up. Tuition has skyrocketed while pouring more and more "free"...

Start smoking then you can put the cigarette in your mouth instead of standing there being akward during the pauses.

Read today that every $100 of aid that goes to students tuition goes up $65. Go figure.

I know I'm wordy but 1. I'm bored, my interview didn't show up as of yet 4 hours late. 2. I'm not cut out for this crap. I rather climb up a 200' pressure vessel when it's 100F outside in a cloud of steam and measure something that can be FIXED rather than meet, argue, meet, and argue some...

That's what I was told by the HR lady. We're running it thru our parent company which is much larger and basically deals with all the legal issues. One thing mentioned was spinning off the engineering department as a subsidary. The first place I worked "engineering" which is a loose term and...

Curious what the future is going to being after the big hiccup earlier in the month about the media and especially how they targeted ESPN in many of the articles about having lost share etc...

We have an office in Phoenix of like 6 people. I read a title on yahoo "Big heat wave in the southwest". So I looked at the weather deal. I think at 9pm local there it was 109F. Fuck that. The forecast for the next day was 115F. Fuck that. I don't care if it's a dry heat or not. I assume 115...

I only heard about it at work because we were talking about going to visit a subcontractor. Kind of dropped off the media radar pretty quick.

According to that list a county where I own "land" in East, TX that is bankrupt. Provides no fire protection and no deputies but has pine trees ranks the same as the current county I live in that is in the hill country of TX that people are lined up to move to for the beauty of it. Go figure.

Also my idea of paying 100% of their insurance was deemed "illegal and subject to fines" under the ACA or some such. Oh well.

I stay off of much of it.

Sometimes you people scare me. Serioulsly. I ask very few questions in an invterview. We go over basic stuff. Have lunch and determine their ability to fit in. Tour the shop and talk while doing so. Hopefully in that time frame they talk about stuff they have done in the past that fit with...

Well for these jobs the only thing you would need to know in office is how to open a document someone else sent for the most part. Right now if someone with good qualifications didn't know anything about office they would hire an assistant to do all that for him/her. My 11:00 interview...

You just have to know what to ask. At least in the south the better parts of town go with the better schools. They have code words. Like less than desirable school. Tough resell market due to the school here. Etc... I bought my parents a house 6 years ago and the agent was not shy about which...

I can't imagine doing that nowdays and what would be involved on the legal end.

I really don't know what you would need to pick up that weighs 5 pounds anyway. I change out the rolls for the plotter if runs out while I'm using it. But we could get someone else to do it lol. If we plot out an entire job at once it can weigh a good bit, but since I fired the IT guy that...

HR lady just forwarded me some more resumes for my replacement to go thru. I still look at resumes of people with college degrees, multiple years or decades of professional experience where they put stuff under skills like Microsoft word. I know I have a really long resume but you really need to...

I put a lot because most of the people I talk to where I have interviewed, competitors, and when I owned my own business it's very difficult to find people/attract people now. Very difficult. There's just not a very large pool nationwide to draw from and very few skills cross over. The...

Sorry I've been wordy. Bored as shit here at work. The 28th is my last day so I won't be posting from work any longer.

No. His dad died of cancer while he was in the Navy. I offered him a job because he's reasonabley smart and needed a job. We pretty much went our separate ways. He once asked me and then my dad if we would sign his deal that he was looking for a job while on unemployment. Kind of went downhill...

Lol my real meal yesterday was a $6 po-boy while I ate breakfast at McDonalds, afternoon snack at Burger King, and a later dinner at whataburger. I had just never heard of gogurt. I eat yoplait light yogurt a lot. I'm having an ultra fancy meal for diner tonight. A banquet frozen pot pie...

This is related to the site for cheaters ain't it that got hacked and relased their info this week ain't it?

I talk about projects I have been involved in. I list precipitators, bag houses, carbon capture projects, furnaces, stacks, large duct work up to 21' in diamter, pressure vessels, platforms and give a typical customer and location for each example. Like say "Worked as project manager at the...

Friend of mine does hiring and nurse training for the largest employer in the state which is a university medical hospital. He said way too many people got into nursing with no aptitude for it, but they knew they could get a job regardless if they were good at it. He's listed as upper management...

Have your people contact my people and they will hammer at the details and set up a time after my legal team has had time to go over it.

LOL. I uninstalled World of Warships and part of the unistall process is a questionaire that's 2 pages long about why you are uninstaling.

I had to google that.

His wife filed for divorce.

I'm real cautious about those types of systems. Maybe 10-12 years ago I sent my resume to a recruiter, I should have sent a PDF but they would only take a word upload. I got a call from someone asking me when I went back and got X degree. I didn't. Recruiter changed my resume and like a dumb ass...

I had to put it on my well for iron in the water. You washed clothes and dried them and your towels could stand up straight.

I'm in the opposite camp. I see LOTS of one page resumes that I wonder what they actually did at the end of them. Everyone throws titles around now days I want to know what you actually did. I look for listing what you actually were responsible for at each job/posistion. I will also look at...

16 hour road trip yesterday. I think I'm done with fast food for the next month lol. At least in the middle of it I got to squeeze in a decent meal.

I have a 3 page resume, and a 3 page cover letter. It works tho, I don't even put education on it. Best possible outcome on new job lead is no requirement for a resume lol. I could go the rest of my career without looking at more of them. That's the downside of being on an "island" so to...

It's amazing the number of resumes I get that have a glaring spelling error in job titles, the industry they worked in and stuff like that. Plus the number of ones that have a phone number with an extra digit in it and stuff like that. Not even talking just a regular spelling error in a...

Wrong state. This is what it looks like at the right time of year.

There's a thread here on it. I played for about a week and a half. Didn't do anything for me. Too slow, no ignore feature yet, multiple TK's per game with no penalty even 1 minute in. The ranked battles that went up on test for 2 days looks like it might eventually have promist, you get...
