			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my friends is a recruiter. She matches people with companies looking to hire someone for a specific role. She forwarded me a funny email exchange she had with somebody who was interested in a medical writer position she had posted.</p>
<p>Applicant:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>From: [wannabe medical writer]<br />
Subject: Fw: medical writer</em></p>
<p><em>&gt; Hi<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Am a health care worker who is also a writer<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Have been writing for many years.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Have a post grad degree in pharmacology (Phd)<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Have over 700 health related articles<br />
&gt;<br />
Have attached two of my writing samples<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Reliable and punctual.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; [name removed]<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; below are some medical sites that i have written for.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; [links to sites removed]</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Her reply:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Dear [wannabe medical writer],</em></p>
<p><em>Your message below does not have any complete sentences nor correct punctuation which does not demonstrate to us that you have strong writing abilities.</em></p>
<p><em>Best of luck in your search.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Applicant:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>u are a first class fool</em></p>
<p><em>punctuation, stick it up your arse</em></p></blockquote>
<p>This applicant is also quite eloquent, it seems. Needless to say, he&#8217;s not going to be considered for the writing position.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><sub><em>This entry wants to stick some punctuation up its arse!</em></sub></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was helping a client today troubleshoot their Internet connection. Their office is over 600 miles away, so on-site support was out of the question. I had to work with one of the 2 people that works in their office and walk them through checking cables, indicator lights, resetting things, etc. This is part of our conversation:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Client: <em>OK, so what am I looking for again?</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Me: <em>A network cable.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Client: <em>Oh, OK. They&#8217;re the fat phone cord looking ones, right?</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Me: <em>Yes. The ends look like large phone cord connectors.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Client: <em>All right &#8230; (sounds of her moving things around for about 30 seconds) .. Oh! Here&#8217;s one.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Me: <em>Great, now let&#8217;s follow it to one end and see where it&#8217;s connected.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Client: <em>This is a long sucker, must be almost a hundred feet.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Me: <em>Are you sure it&#8217;s a network cable? It should be just like the ones we were connecting to the router, but longer.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Client: <em>Yeah, this looks just like those.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Me: <em>Good. Are you able to trace it back to where it&#8217;s connected?</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Client: <em>Yeah, I think so &#8230; it&#8217;s pretty tangled up, though.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Me: <em>All right. When you find where it plugs in, unplug it and plug it back in until you hear or feel it click to make sure it&#8217;s connected properly.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Client: <em>Ah! I think I found it <strong>*click*</strong></em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Me: <em>Hello?</em></p>
<p>Just another day in tech support.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll definitely have to try doing this month of photos project again &#8211; but in Summer, when I have more daylight. I&#8217;m finding that I&#8217;ll get stuck helping out clients and working that when I&#8217;m done it&#8217;s already close to 5:00 pm and it&#8217;s almost dark outside! Add to that my inherent tendency towards procrastination and it&#8217;s proving to be unusual to find me posting a shot that was taken during the day. At least I try to have fun with it!</p>
<p align="center"> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/3129840754_ffd50976d9_b.jpg" rel="lightbox[376]" rel="lightbox[post]" title="December 22, 2008 - Evil Lego Lives"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/3129840754_ffd50976d9.jpg" alt="December 22, 2008 - Evil Lego Lives" class="slickr-post" height="333" width="500" /></a></p>
<p align="left">I keep Evil Lego in my camera bag. It was done so that if I ever happened to find a bad situation happening that I could take a picture of, I might be able to place Evil Lego in the foreground so that it might look as though he might have had something to do with it. So far it hasn&#8217;t happened, but I&#8217;ll be carrying him around with my camera from now on. Expect to see more of him from time to time.</p>

Then I sucked a little ketchup (catsup?!) into a straw and blew it out, splattering it right where I wanted &#8211; and looking better (worse?!) than anticipated.

<p align="left">This was cute and quick. I stopped by the store and saw this dog sitting in the passenger seat of a car. It was a handicapped spot, so either the dog drove the person to the store or the handicap is that the driver is a dog. I&#8217;m not sure which.</p>
<p align="left"> I pulled my camera out of my car to snap this so quickly that I forgot to turn the autofocus back on and I wasn&#8217;t paying much attention to what I saw in the view finder, so I didn&#8217;t think to manually focus either. This was the best focus out of all the shots.</p>
