  1. It depends on your industry. If you are in IT, 2-5 years is about as long as you want to stay with an organization, unless you are happy with your salary. I move every 1 - 3 years for atleast 30% raise. I am interviewing again... Remember my rules, No job is secure, you are a prostitute working for the highest bidder, never stop learning.
  2. Ohio is not a right to work state. They should terminate the aggressor without reason.
  3. Jim Dietz, tax accountant. I don't remember how long. $150ish range. He knows everything about tax accounting, he has been doing it for 30 years I guess.
  4. I have a Nikon D100. I like Nikon glass. Canon has good cameras, seems like the lenses cost more and the body less than Nikon.

    dog woes

    if you ever need to make your dog puke, put some peroxide in a turkey baster and squirt it into their stomach (do this outside) The thing that kills me about emergency vets is if you call with a problem, no matter the problem, they want you to come in (bring me some money). With a little understanding of basic emergency procedures, you don't always have to come in. If you cut yourself, you can fix it at home. They charged a guy $400 because he cut his dog's toenail too short and it was bleeding. he could have patched it up at home for alot less. They offer no suggestions over the phone, just bring him in.

    Dog says he's doing pretty good considering. Blood counts aren't great.

    Well, Castor beans are full of a toxin called Ricine (yes, the Ricine that terrorists are supposed to be making bombs for etc...) He's really sick.

    Also, stay away from the 24 hour emergency vet place over off of Renner in Hilliard. They wanted $1150 to observe him overnight. I watched him for free. My vet said they would watch him for the next 3-5 days at $100/night.

    dog woes

    I have a 100lb black lab, have had him since 98. He's a good dog, but he will eat damn near anything. Well, as fate would have it we had some seeds set out for this coming year and he ate them. It seems he is going to either be very sick for the next week and live, or it will kill him. He spent the night throwing up and the vet says it is touch and go. I guess I am bringing this up just to say, if you have a dog and you like it, watch out for what gets left out.

    ExPat folks

    My coworker lives in New Zealand, every few years it is a pain to get visas worked out but NZ is looking for people to move into the country so it is just a matter of standing in line etc...
  11. So, any mention of what your going to do is premeditation. Posting on a public forum, to solicit advice, to resolve a problem that is clearly your sisters problem probably isnt the best idea. If it were me, I would call my said sister and say "you shouldn't date guys like that". Lets put the blame, and the ownership of the problem in the right place. Besides, do you want to go to jail over this douche?
  12. Actually, I have quite a few VMs that require 4 cores to run properly, having 8 would mean I could run the VM and my local OS at blazing speed. Since more and more enterprise networking/development types are using macs it only seems like the future has more to hold than just PC. I am neither artsy nor fartsy, but I like having a *nix based OS so I can run the types of tools I have to.
  13. I used to go all the time in Georgia (that would be Waffle House in the south). I also used to go to Huddle House, I prefer Waffle House.
  14. I am looking to get a Mac Pro. I want 8 cores.
  15. You said you needed two weeks. A second beyond that and you transferred ownership to the owner of the garage. If it was me I would push it out into the street and call shamrock towing, or the sherrif, and say someone abandoned a vehicle right in front of my house. In fact, it looks like they abandoned two...
  16. My commanding officer for my submarine was one hell of an officer. If he ask me to go with him into battle today, I would do it. I never met anyone that could take a 2 second look thru the periscope and have the exact bearing, range, speed and classification like he could. He would wake up on sundays and make eggs to order for the crew. On the other hand, the Junior Officers we had didn't understand why he wanted to spend so much time getting to know the enlisted guys.
  17. Ok, so I can go 30 miles on one gallon of gas at $3.05 Or, 70 miles on one gallon of Diesel at $4.... yeah, I am not really good with math but diesel hybrid is a better deal.
  18. Is there any way to get these asshats to stop trying to get me to upgrade my phone? I have gotten two emails and a phone call from VzW in the last two weeks. I have a BlackBerry 8830 World Edition. This IS a new phone.

    ipod and itunes

    When I plug in my ipod I have summary, music, movies....photos. I just sync the photos.
  20. Ok, so I live in the sticks and someone already brings me propane... I guess you mean those small bottles used for a gas grill? I would expect to find out about the service either when I buy my grill/mosquito destroyer, or when I go to get the tank refilled. So long as they can anticipate me running out of propane and having a new one ready before mine runs out, or include a tank guage visible on the exterior so I can schedule a new one today, I wouldn't be interested. I don't really see me having to run a few miles to the store for a new tank as that big of a deal. Besides, I use a charcoal Weber (way better taste).

  22. Problem is, I use my personal line as my work line. So I am on a family plan with a blackberry. My bill is usually over $300/month, I wonder if they can change that for me. Their INTL roaming is WAY too expensive too.

    Castro is out!!!!

    Raul has said in the past he wants to open trade relations with the US. I really hope we do start talking again. That would be one awesome place to have nearby as a vacation destination, Eco Tourism there would be very cool.
