    I just found a stack of paperwork dating from 05/09 to 09/10 that for whatever reason wasn't sorted and filed.

    This is the kind of stuff I am talking about.

    So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

    Is everyone having some sort of relationship issues lately?

    I have no relationship issues.

    Or any relationships at all.

    Yup.

    I'm striking out big time in SK.

    At least I'm making more money than in China. And I'm in ridiculously good shape, given that I have nothing better to do than work out all the time.

    tumbles is such a dick

    we're walking and i have headphones in, hardly paying attention

    i look down and realize two things

    1) we're about to go into a puddle of dirty water

    2) tumbles' rear legs are tensing, as she's about to leap it

    i was mid stride so there was no way i could jump with her, leaving me to a) be a dick and plant my feet, which would yank her awfully in midair or b) (which i did), stumble into the gross water

    god

    Well, if you want to hook up, you should stop working out and start playing Starcraft.

    My relationships are going pretty well.

    I predict problems arising when me and Bulgarian girl finish our Ph Ds and have to get real jobs in different places.

    Me and the girlfriend are going through that. I work north in Boston and she works the exact opposite distance south. Our schedules also suck incredibly, she works 3:30-midnight and I work a standard 8-5. It's annoying.

    Still better then the guy who just finished his Ph D, and is going to Hong Kong for 2 years, whereas his girlfriend is only just finishing her honors year and is starting a Ph D.

    I can't see that lasting, when they're doing entirely different things and separated by a pretty brutal 8 hour flight.

    Man. Long distance relationships are tough. You never know, though. If it's really a good pair between the two people and you know there's a light at the end of the (8 hour flight long) tunnel, who knows.

    I am not in a relationship so I am issue free and thus not in need of a hug.

    I'll take a facepalm for having to help friends deal with their relationship issues though.

    Guys how does this sound for a personal statement within a CV:
    Computing graduate with specialization in Software Engineering and five years experience working with IT systems. Able to adapt and learn new system technologies quickly and accurately. History of developing projects within small scale teams. Able to implement new systems from hardware construction to software implementation, and willing to learn new software technologies and challenges.

    I'd totally hire you to develop both the space shuttle and the software to run it!

    Or feel that you haven't really said anything specific enough, but I've also never written a CV before so I've no idea if this type of BS works.

    Indeed.

    I don't know what to say specifically! Should I say "I convert oxygen into petroleum, my skin is made of a nano-fibre mesh, I see 18 dimensions"?

    I would use full sentences. Yeah you're dealing with very limited space, but first impressions are so key and I can see that putting off a lot of HR people.

    Otherwise looks okay. How's the rest of it laid out?

    I guess maybe go into a little more detail on what you've done and then use it to draw the generalization?

    So you say the same stuff, it just sounds more sincere.

    Goes like Personal Statement > Key Skills > Qualification > Honour's Topic > Work Experience > Personal Achievements. Would probably be described as an academic/skill set CV, as it attempts to sell me for my merits in what i'm good at, rather than how often i've worked.

    Personal statements like that don't normally belong on a CV, they belong in a cover letter.

    And "willing to learn new challenges" is weird.

    How about this:
    I am a Computing graduate with specialization in Software Engineering and five years experience working with IT systems such as Windows, Apple OS and Unix. I am able to adapt and learn new technologies quickly and accurately, improving my skill set by continually challenging myself with new software. I have a history of developing projects within small scale teams, as can be seen by my achievements. I am able to implement new IT systems from hardware construction to software implementation, and I am fully willing to learn and adapt to new software technologies.

    Same as the last one but a bit more information and personal.

    This makes no sense. You're willing to learn new challenges?

    See if this works a bit better for you:

    Computing graduate with specialization in Software Engineering with five years experience working on IT systems. Able to adapt and learn new system technologies quickly and accurately. History of developing projects within small scale teams. Able to implement new systems from hardware construction to software implementation and eager to learn new software technologies. (or perhaps " ...eager for the challenge of learning new software technologies" if you really want challenge in there somewhere)

    So Bulgarian girl is now looking after the neighbors cat full-time, since they're moving out and can't find a place where they can have a cat.

    This isn't a substantial change from the present state of affairs. Though she should get fleas less often.

    uh, what? the bulgarian girl will get fleas less often or the cat?
