I like The Beatles

I was bummed to discover that Final Draft will not let me save my documents for some reason. The program turns itself off whenever I try. Undaunted, I am still planning stuff out, and smoothing out some stuff that needs smoothing.

Still haven't figured out what I'm going to do about the unemployment thingy. I think I'll try to talk to them about it when I call tomorrow and see what the real deal is with all that hoosefudge. They are probably just another huge corporate entity that doens't give a crap about me deep down. I've been getting that a lot lately, and as you can see it's causing some self pity and intense negativity which are just the qualities I'll need to secure the job of my dreams--or NOT. The sad truth is that this mythical dream job is really just a comfortable office job where answer phones and type and file and make enough money to go back to school and have a place to live at the same time. Not so much to ask.

And I think I speak for many people when I assert that Over the Rainbow is in fact, NOT the greatest song from a film. Maybe I speak only for women and straight men, I don't know...

Thanks to everyone for thier excellent resume advice. I have decided to go with a 2-pager which lists all the jobs I'd like to one day do again. I do use pale green paper even though some of you advised against colored paper.

Since you can't register, you can only use and save on FD6 with the CD in.

I had the same prob at first, you should be good to go now.

Yeah, the CD was in, it has something to do with my desktop vs ryans on the same computer...I'm not sure what the deal is. but I'm sure ryan is working on it. i mostly just wanted to share my pain.

What she means is that the program won't work properly on her account on my desktop. It works fine on mine (except it quits upon saving, but you can reopen the document, which you can't do on her desktop), and she will be using it there until I can figure out why it's not working on her desktop. So there are really no delays, just a coule of pain in the asses.

I don't know if I could choose my favorite. Over the rainbow is pretty good, but it doesn't inspire me. I liked most of the songs in the show about equally. But it doesn't matter, since it is just based on some high and mighty opinion of some guy who claims to be an expert. But in the end it is still just an opinion no more, and no less valuable than yours.

Wise choice on the 2 page resume, mine is slightly more than a page and a half. Colored paper is fine as long as it isn't a distracting color, and not too dark, so that the text can be read clearly.

I'm sure your better at writing than most people I know but you should email your resume to your friends for suggestions. Several average minds are better than one genius. It's like open source programming, Linux is far superior to Windows because countless thousands have read the code for errors.

Thanks man, good suggestions all.

As for the music, I would indeed like to know what the criteria are for putting those in order.

Good luck with your job search! You've got a lot of good employee qualities and you seem to stick with jobs for awhile too! Someone needs to hire Wednes or else I'll come up and... um... weird them into submission. Seriously tho, good luck on your job search, I know you'll find something!

PS I like 'Over The Rainbow' once in awhile but it's definitely not the best movie song. Hm. It's not even really a song I'd turn on on purpose but oh well.
