Companies are awful at replying back during the application process. I applied to a place 6 months before getting an email that they moved on. I didn’t need an email to tell me that.That was a smaller company also so It’s not like they were sifting through 100’s of applicants.

Yeah, she's eyeballing Sadie for her freezer stock, I'll bet.

Applied for a neat prof position at a Nazarene college in Kansas City. Literally couldn't have been more than a dozen applicants, and that # is stretching it.
Some guy who specializes in Methodist history around Missouri and Kansas in the Civil War era got the job. One of those deals that makes me shake my head. In a century of job searching, that guy wouldn't appear twice, but there it was.
Just curious, mostly because of your level of education - didn't you attend seminary? Would you tell me which denomination you grew up in? (I know religion isn't a topic people normally discuss, but in this case I think it's apropos.)

I grew up outside of church. I became a Baptist as an adult, and got my M.Div. at a Baptist seminary in Ankeny.
Along the way, I've actually picked up enough graduate credits for 3 PhDs and something left over.
John Wesley XI? Yes, I did the math to estimate about which number descendant of John Wesley it would be.

Yes, and I kept reminding her about it but she couldn't sit still. She said that Chip and Joanna were tired of looking back at her from the TV.
The vixen had a real wild episode with prednisone. She insisted that I make sure no doctor ever gives it to her again. (She's fairly dramatic, BTW.)
BTW, happy belated birthday @stormchaser2014! Hope the banana cake was awesome!
For voth of ours safety, I will make sure the gf doesnt see this post.
The first time I was on that stuff it was awful. I would get some severe sort of heartburn for about 60 minutes afterward. I would break out in a sweat and could barely breath. They gave me more when I had shingles but I didn't experience any of that again.
Man, I told myself there was no way I could have gone to school for 4 more years after undergrad. You, obviously, were on the other spectrum.

Follow-up from my physical last week. Doctor and I figured that we might as well test everything before I join the uninsured and unemployed.
Been battling with my metabolism ever since this allergy battle began. We're learning now that I'm right on the edge of a hypothyroid condition, like pretty much there, and things seem to indicate that chemical allergies really wreak havoc on your thyroid and subsequently the metabolism.
Quietly using Samuel L. Jackson's favorite word for the family members who continue to refuse to adjust and instead keep exposing me to this stuff. I think we're looking at a lifetime of medication to keep the thyroid in line.
Rant over. The punching bags will endure some extra motivation tomorrow morning.

Yesterday I was taking an early morning walk along the same path I take every time and was attacked by damn red wing blackbirds. Like full-on assault complete with dive-bombing and pecking my head. Not cool. Took a different route on my bike ride this morning.
