So I fly out for Greenland tonight. Last few hours in civilization. My tour was pushed out to 5 months.
Five months? Holy hell (frozen), that's a long time. Good luck, Will. And be sure to let us know you're still alive.
Yeah - I should have at least some internet access, so we'll see how it works out. I know that bandwidth is pretty limited, so I don't know how much I can do in terms of posting pictures or anything.

Oh, don't worry about that. We know what cold and dark looks like. :P
Fuck this isn't working, I suck so hard at making resumes
I would suggest finding one you like on the internet and 'reinterpreting' it with your own information. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Also be sure to customize all of your skills and interests to match the job in question. It might feel a little like lying, but how else are they supposed to know that you are the EXACT RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB!

Bummer, dude. Make some snowmen, I guess.
I hear there isn't actually much snow where I'm going. Apparently it's too cold for water to evaporate into the air or something. It's right on the ocean, but the humidity is near zero.
God damn, I probably won't even see the sun for a month or so. I'm afraid it's going to be like living on the surface of the moon.

Too cold to snow doesn't sound... appealing.

So I reread I.iv of Being in Time again today and it totally clicked and it was like an epiphany. Heidegger is so damn amazing. Totally the best Nazi ever.
Damn, I really did not see that one coming. Morlock is getting better at this. For all basic_tech was dead wrong he really toned down Morlock's usual Wild Claims.
In Finnish newspapers today: a mother and her son kidnapped their neighbors and kept them prisoner for 10 hours, beating them up and waterboarding them because they thought they had stolen their credit card.
Then they found the missing card on their own table. And now they're going to prison.

QI said that this is not actually possible, for it to be too cold to snow.

Bob! Why is Plato such a beautiful writer, but he makes Socrates speak so fucking abstrusely? Motherfucker speaks in like 18 clause sentences!

That's why I am usually happy when it's lightly snowing, because the light snow isn't much of a problem and it means it's warm enough to snow!

If Feral or VThornhart are around, I've updated my Access 2007 thread in H/A. Or, anyone else into helping me learn about databases and Access.
Having just completed the transition from database programmer to statistical programmer I'm loath to get into the technical details. But I would like to share an invaluable resource from my past.
These guys are awesome. It replaced the PA forums for me while I was learning the database ropes. Somewhere I've also got a link to a pretty in depth discourse on normalization. I'll see if I can dig it up. But those guys are heroes. And they are pretty attentive/helpful.
The "I" must be understood only in the sense of a noncommittal formal indication of something which perhaps reveals itself in the actual phenomenal context of being as that being's "opposite." Then "not I" by no means signifies something like a being which is essentially lacking "I-hood," but means a definite mode of being of the "I" itself; for example, having lost [or not yet found] itself.

It's actually the exact opposite, Haps. That's what makes it so tricky to really grasp -- that MYSELF is never given to me first, that I always substitute my own personal subjective self with the OTHER, that the giveness of the I is actually hidden in the other.
Basically, we are always whiney teenagers who want to be like everyone else until we fully grasp our authentic existence.

It's hard to fit all this stuff on one page and I haven't even done all that much
Don't stress too much about fitting everything on one page. While that's good, its not essential. And not everyone agrees on that. I would say put everything IMPORTANT on the first page. Goals, Skills, Interests. If your time as assistant-manager of weaniehut 4 jobs back spills onto the back page... maybe thats ok? Throw the references back there too. Try to keep it well below two pages though.
also if it helps, provide less detail on positions in your not so recent history... just a few thoughts.

Wow, ok. Reading it again I can see it. My grasp on your funny language isn't good enough for philosophy.

Greenland is the one that isn't green isn't it?
Try to, I dunno, stay warm, and stuff
