I confess things that make you go hmm

 

[E-Man]

I confess that I've been listening to Little Brother's The Minstrel Show every day for the past week since I finally unwrapped it. That album is like everything I ever wanted in a hip hop album.

 

[enterthemadness]

I cried at Hank's reading of his letter to Karen in the series finale of Californication. And then rocket man started playing.... I'm a sucker for these endings.

I confess, I miss Darthphere's strong presence in the Hype

To steal a line from a guy's twiter/facebook post, a guy comes to my wedding and doesn't give any gift and is now inviting me to play candy crush. I guess the shoe is on the other foot.

Also, in my attempt to find a massage place since my I no longer have my contact at this massage school, I think I've stumbled on some "rub and tug" places.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The "places you must avoid" you mean?

 

[Erzengel]

The place I use to go to was a school.

And after looking at that site, which I'm sure your post will be deleted I think you have to be a member to view certain things?

Anywho, I'll just stick to Groupon and hope whatever place I visit doesn't have wandering hands.

Dude, that link leads to a bad site.
Don't quote it.

A few weeks ago, I found a website with dozens of job listings that I may be qualified for. However, they require that I speak Spanish. I don't speak Spanish.

Today, I got a newspaper clipping from my aunt. It told about how Germany is looking for immigrants to hire for 117,000 openings. I speak some German and would be willing to emigrate. However, the job openings are for science, technology and engineering. My bachelor's degree is in history and my master's is in library and information science.

Had a long convo about jobs in my industry (user experience design) today with someone who just came back from Germany. Apparently lots of degrees and certificates impress Germans, so you may have a chance yet. With library and information science, you might be able to fanangle that into user experience design. In like, the next few weeks.

Go google it.

Shouldn't there be a log on the site for older issues?
There is no link to that on the front page

So I'm doing as you suggested, and checking google

Thanks
Do you have any interest in getting a degree in science and working there?

 

[Hobgoblin]

I just finished my masters and am $10,000 in debt. I have no interest in more school for a long time. Also, I love science but I'm terrible with numbers.

What is user experience design?

Basically, making websites and apps easier to use. It's a really general term for a lot of different specialties. There's researchers who interview users, people who test websites/apps with users, people who organize content, people who make website blueprints, people who make it all look pretty, people who actually code the thing. Or you can be like me and enjoy doing a bit of everything.

With a master's in library and information science, you are literally the perfect candidate to be a specialist in information architecture. That's a fancy term for organizing website pages.

It would help if you had a few website projects to show, though. Like, the TDK virals site in my sig is probably the perfect vehicle to show information architecture chops. There are 450+ pages in that baby.


What was your original plan with the library and information science degree? I'm curious.

I'm sorry I asked
Good luck with your debts, hopefully you can pay it back as in full before it rises another $2k
