  1. I've been looking for a new job in Columbus for some time now, but haven't had any luck. I currently have a job, that I really dislike, so I'm not in the unemployment boat. However, there is no room for advancement, and I pretty much work by myself. Plus the pay is pretty shitty. I'm not attached to it at all.

    Some of the positions are hiring are for local applicants only. So that raises the question, do I move to Columbus, take another crappy job? Or do I continue my search here?

    As of May 23, I will have 5 years in as a public employee. Should I keep looking for a public job? Or move to the private sector? There are pros and cons to both, I know.

    Just looking for some opinions, Thanks.

  2. Any interest in having an OR night?

    Been talking this over with the owner and the DJ. Could possibly get some dinner and drink specials. Maybe some other goodies if we get enough folk.

    The Depot has a bike night on Sundays throughout the summer. Starts the weekend of Memorial day. This is pretty much open to anyone. They have a patio, with a DJ on Sunday's. It's a little small, and parking can be a bitch sometimes, but the food is pretty tasty. They have an on site smoker for the BBQ.

    Is there any interest in having an OR night?

    There are some pretty fun roads round that area too, just in case you wanted to ride before, or after. ;)

  3. Local unemployment is pretty bad around here.

    This was a factory oriented town, so you have a bunch of older folks with nothing but a High school diploma, and a couple of manufacturing certs under their belts. Not a whole lot of places round here to use that kind of stuff anymore.

    A lot of the folks that have come through my office, are going back to some sort of school. Lots of truck drivers, and nursing students. Or are trying like hell to get another manufacturing job in the surrounding area. The kicker to this is that most manufacturing jobs, require an online application or resume. Most of these 40+ somethings, have no idea how to type, surf the web, or upload a resume. So they require additional training.

    There are the occasional few, that just come in and mope around, wanting us to find a job for them. They take very little interest on the subject. It's quite frustrating working with them.

    So in conclusion, I don't see this as a problem for most people, however, like everything else, there is always a select group that ruin it or give it a bad name. Are all of these people lazy slobs? Absolutely not. Are all of these folks motivated to get back to work? Absolutely not.

    Everyone's case is different. Don't judge until you've walked a mile in their shoes.

  4. Google Translate for Animals

    Translate for Animals is an application for Android phones that recognises and transcribes words and phrases that are common to a species, like cats for example. To develop Translate for Animals, we worked closely with many of the world's top language synthesis teams, and with leaders in the field of animal cognitive linguistics, including senior fellows at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

  5. Gotta take an assessment test on Tuesday for a new job I'm applying for. I don't want to bomb the damn thing, so I'm trying to study up.

    I will be in Columbus this weekend, so I can pick it up.

    The test is focused around MCSA, MCSE, and MCDST.

    So if you have any study guides that I could borrow for the weekend, that would be grand!

    Thanks!
