I think Lucy does some PBS stuff every now and then. I enjoy watching her talk about English royalty history.
Z asked us what the T-Rex was chasing the little girl down the hallway. We got to explain that they were trying to get people to come watch the movie because they would want to see if the girl gets away. We also had to explain that maybe she wasn't really being chased. The images were just put next to each other in the commercial. She was worried for the poor girl.
Honestly, I kind of wonder too. For those seeing it you should let me know if the T Rex is really hunting the girl specially or not. I will not watch it in the theater.

One of my best memories in a theatre is watching the OG Jurassic Park for the first time, and the scientists are in the Jeep and encounter the Bronty. You know, the part that ends with Hammond profoundly intoning "Dr. Grant; my dear Dr. Sattler. Welcome... to Jurassic Park."
The sweeping chorus of the John Williams theme, coupled with the huge thump of the creatures forelegs landing on the ground, and the cry of the creature. Man, that was too much for me. Greatest moment ever in movies, imo.
Somewhere along the way, the movies have lost the magic for me.Even though I enjoyed Jurassic World; it went above my expectations for sure.
My favorite line in the orig is when Jeff Goldblum mutters, "I just hate it when I'm right."
Power nap complete. Feel rebooted. Think I ride over to Eriks and get bike gears adjusted. Than grab some baby pineapples and call @cyrocksmypants and go drink some beer lakeside this evening.

They need help throughout the ad.
Check out the salary listed: $20 USD Per Year

Just found out that I am being kicked off my project in 3 weeks because of budget. There was just me and another person in the role for the project. Sucks because this was for a new product and involved going around Europe and Asia talking about it.
Hate to be cynical but the other person in my role just recently joined and is dating the project manager. Budget came in and they could only choose one of us. I didn't exactly have a leg up I guess.
It really sucks extra hard because they were going to buy my hours for 6 months which would've put me in a great position for my yearly quota. Now July and August are our slowest months and I don't have a project lined up.
**** me up. I'm headed to the bar

Maybe they haven't updated their website since the college opened in 1864.

Must be, or a typo, or both.
I finally see that the Nazarene school in KC updated their schedule of courses. They hired some guy who works in the religious history of Missouri and Kansas during the Civil War.
Yes, I was checking to see who beat me out.
No replies at the collegiate job level? That's just lazy and tacky.

Just the standard "received your info" e-mail. I'm seeing the same thing inside and outside the academic arena.
Shouldn't take someone more than 15 minutes to permanently prepare a form letter for all applicants, but places aren't playing that game.
You'll have those student loans paid off in no time.
Dear <NAME>:
Thank you for your interest in <JOBTITLE> at Velo University. We have narrowed down our search to finalists for the position. Unfortunately due to the high number of extremely qualified candidates your application was not selected.
Thanks for your interest in Velo University. Your application will be kept on file for one calendar year.
Cordially,
<HIRINGMGRNAME>
Velo University
That took me all of about 2 minutes, proofreading included.
If finalists are later rejected they deserve a call rather than a letter anyway...
The next Jurassic World movie should just be 100 minutes of dinosaurs fighting each other.
