  1. We are thinking drugs. Franklin County website isn't available right now (probably everyone looking at it for Smith's record.)
  2. This is a second job, part time, it pays 13.94/hr. Beats the crap out of Call-Tech's offer.
  3. I am from here. http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USMN0259?from=search_city And I think it is quite chilly outside.
  4. The job is customer relations so you have to like the product and have thick skin. This is for the call center that people call into via an 800 number in their owners manual. "what kind of oil should I use?" "This damn car doesn't run!" see the website for jobs. http://fs.bmwusa.com/BmwFsPulp/TemplateFiles/DisplayTemplate9Content.aspx?PostGUID={D2925C28-748C-448D-B11C-FD713866A041}&Mode=published
  5. Welp, my taste in TVs, computers, education, etc.... has led me into a bit of debt. Not alot but enough to make me go get a second job. It is with BMW financial services and looks like it could be fun. After a year I can lease a BMW 325 (fully loaded) for $320 per month, that includes insurance, maintenance, tags, everything but gas. Don't know if I will be there that long but the job seems cool as a second job. Anyone else work there?

    I hate...

    Jameson, it cures everything. Ever heard an irishman complain about a cold?
  7. I figured out windows has a task scheduler that will run the log in/log out routine for whenever I want. So I guess I will be working saturdays and sundays from now on.
  8. I just found the database file. It is an access database and logs the local system time not my time. So now I have to go write some scripting or a batch file.
  9. I work for a strange company, but most Telco's are strange. Anyway, I have this Sr. Manager that is really, really, bad at managing people. He believes we should all just be happy we have jobs, rather than try to get anything out of our jobs like respect or career advancement. So, we have been really busy. Most companies are spending the last of the '04 budget and they are buying services left and right. This means that our already understaffed group is getting slammed with orders. So, rather than augmenting the staff with more people, it is his belief that we should just work more hours (we are salary) and that will make up for it. So to make sure we are working more than 8 hours per day he had this little application installed on our desktops. One ICON says log in, the other log out. It reports back to a central server so we can all be watched like children. So should I a. write a vb script that will log me in and then out in 8 hours, then back in after 16 hours has expired? b. start setting my system time to 0730 when I come in at 0800 and then setting to 1730 when I leave at 1700? c. log in with my system time set to 1700 and out with the time set to 0800? Just trying to illustrate a point to the pointy haired boss (Dilbert reference)
  10. www.apple.com has discounts on anything if you say you are a student, you don't actually have to prove it.
  11. I would say iBook for the money, but if money is no object you should do the power book (I have one and love it). You can buy either from apple with a discount based on the fact you are a student.
  12. Hold up here folks. I served in the military during the clinton administration and we had the same problems. It isn't the particular party's fault that this is like this. You cannot yell at a recruit in boot camp, or hit him/her. That is the problem right there, toughen them up or they will advance into the upper ranks as pussies. The US people haven't seen a conflict in a while and want the government to spend less on defense. If you don't want taxed, don't complain when we don't have a prepared military. I think everyone was mad during 9/11 but rather than create taxes to get money for the military our government handed out money to stimulate the economy. Who is to say which way would have worked better.
  13. Get it in writing (it = EVERYTHING). If he is a good friend, he won't mind signing.
  14. Also, you cannot be afraid of the fact that he is a flaming homo.

    Saw Stop.

    That thing has been around for years but the only people that buy them have lost a finger.
  16. BMW financial services is hiring, you can find their site via bmwusa.com. 12 - 14 for CSR. Or call tech (beat you to it Kuruma!)
  17. Yup, very nice but you are trapped and forced to buy the $8 hamburger. The aquarium is very nice, the beach is cool, the casino looks awesome, but it is very expensive to eat etc...
  18. Do you know why French tanks have rear view mirrors? So they can watch the battle.
  19. Go to TSC and get a trash pump, they last MUCH longer, very heavy duty. Then take the battery out of your car, and use it as a backup (put a battery tendor on it) and buy your car a new battery.
  20. Anyone have the hookup on getting me in? I have been twice, machinery row is awesome. PRI is like SEMA but only for racing applications and racing suppliers. Loads of racing stuff and every high end CNC or welder, ever.
  21. Dyson, period, do not buy anything else.
  22. 75% of statistics are made up on the spot, 40% of people know that.

Ohio Dominican University
  24. I was having problems with motivation when I was his age. I got an early welcome to military living. No TV until my homework was done, no computer games/nintendo etc unless I had a certain GPA. It permeated my life, cleaning and all of that. Regimented activities, no motivation required, just do the work.
  25. I would say take an interest, you are now back in school. Every day when he comes home, pull out the assignments, and work on them. Nothing happens prior to school. If you figure out that he is having difficulty learning due to some type of disability, call Sylvan or some kind of specialist. If he sees that his school work is so important that you will drop everything maybe he will turn his interest on. Also, find out what he really likes and try to foster that. Science buff, get to COSI or Newport Aquarium. Math buff, history, whatever try and work your way into his mind.
