**Davebear** left us in the hizhouse alone. I suppose that means open bar, and grasshoppers in the hot tub. As my water displacement ability has already been discussed, you boys know there is room for two more. “C’mon in boys, the water is fine” from O’ Brother Where Art Thou ---

**Wyatt** … In the absence of **Davebear** , I nominate you as Sensei. Please, take your seat in the hot tub, and allow me to brush your ponytail. **if6was9** , though guidance is helpful, many things can be discovered by experimentation. Your compliments are well-placed and very effective- please continue. I encourage this sort of exploration- now, don’t hold back, let me have your best. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by mipiace \* > \*\*I don’t know Dave, I think she may be on to more there than just the obvious play on words. Do you think that the distance here makes YOU more comfortable and less apprehensive so you have a much smoother game? In other words because y ou aren;t actually trying to seduce any of us and can flirt at will, does it actually make you a more successful flirt [go ahead and answer yes because we all know the answer here is …YES] so then…using my logical thinking a bit further, do you think, that if you some how were able to employ some of the smoothness of the Sensei Legend, not to seduce, just to generate interest, that it might help your pursuits? \*\* Well, yeah. That’s pretty much what I said a while back. But, it’s different IRL. There’s no pressure, here, because nothing is going to happen, no matter what I say. Huh. I just realized, that’s probably why I was able to pick up Theresa; because I was absolutely convinced it would never happen, but was determined to try, anyway. Nothing to lose, therefore, real pressure. (Aside from the Dreaded Gauntlet of Humiliation[sup]TM[/sup]) > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Optihut \* > \*\*Ok, I need to hijack this thread yet again (sorry!), but I really need some input on this e-mail and CV, which I want to submit. \*\* I don’t have the faintest idea what the standard form is for a CV/Resume in Europe, so I don’t feel qualified to answer that. But I can tell you that mine starts with a list of my saleable skills (languages, apps), and then goes on to work history (with a bullet or two for accomplishments on each job), and then education. With your limited work history, it might be better to put that at the end. (And, I no longer have the window open, so if that’s what you already have, ignore me.) The only other comment I have is that your letter needs more meat to it. You need to include some basic statement about why you want to work for that company and why you think you’d be a good fit, there. This is generally 90% bullsh\*t, so don’t sweat it too much, but do add something to it. It’s way too sparse, and kind of sounds like you’re saying “well, I need a job, so it might as well be working for you”. Oh, and good luck. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Psalex \* > \*\*When I am reviewing a resume, I prefer the most relevant information (Job experience, skills, and accomplishments) at the top, followed by work history, then education. Keep it simple and concise, all on one page if possible. As it is an application to a college, I would think that a mission statement or statement of intent/interest would be appropriate- \*\* Damn, that sounds familiar. Oh, well.

And, a fine lesson in the wiles of women. BTW, I’m back, in case no one noticed. But, no one said acolytes weren’t allowed in the tub. But, in **Rocky** ’s case, I think we’ll have to make sure there’s always someone else in the tub, before we let him in. ---
