  • Quoth Jay 2K Winger View Post
    By my calculations, we're in the middle of Third Winter here in Northern Virginia, with the Pollening due to start within the next couple of weeks, probably around the time the cherry blossoms bloom.

    I recently found out (thank you random Facebook meme) that Virgina actually has 12 Seasons: Winter, Fool's Spring, Second Winter, Spring of Deception, Third Winter, The Pollening, Actual Spring, Summer, Hell's Front Porch, False Fall, Second Summer, Actual Fall.
    I'm a little south of you, and I'm pretty sure the Pollening has already startedhere.

    I've been having massive eye flooding, and that was never part of my hay-fever pattern before, so it took me a while to realize it was allergies. Claritin occasionally supplemented by Benedryl seems to handle it.

          Vapors condensing between your ears, of course!

            Powdered milk or dried milk.

            I grew up drinking the stuff. My mother would make a batch of powdered milk and mix if half and half with liquid milk. It was a money saving act since powdered milk was a lot cheaper than liquid milk.

            Powdered milk was to foul tasting to drink straight.

            • Yuck. People are just yuck and are probably spreading STDs like crazy, and honestly people. ICKY. On a side note, I wish people didn't need to tell me all the goings ons at my work because then I KNOW and I don't want to know. Bleck.

                  • The exact definition of 'pompatus of love' has been a matter of much debate over the years. It doesn't mean anything as far as anyone can tell.

                      • It's interesting how an email from a friend to "see how you're doing" can turn into a huffy "well if you won' take my advice" when you gently point out their experience with a particular staffing agency was literally 20 years ago.

                        I don't any more advice. I need a goddamn job. If you're not a hiring manager, don't presume to give me advice unless I ask for it.

                        • MC, exactly. It's not like you asked for advice. Even if you did and I'm misunderstanding, you don't have to take it.

                            I've always heard that you should always take any advice offered to you, but rely on your own common sense for using it or not.

                              • I actually didn't ask her for advice. She's gone on about this agency before. I'm not opposed to working with them, but I wish she'd realize that it's been 20 years since she worked for them. I doubt the same people even work there anymore.

                                Besides which, my friend had more office skills than I do. She was an admin assistant for years at the same newspaper I worked for. I only did phone customer service/sales. There's a limit to what any agency can do for me, although I have reached out to a couple different ones.
