Don't be afraid to take a job below or outside your skillset/education. Experience of almost any sort is valuable; it proves you can work well within an organization and work well with people. It is also a good source of examples and anecdotes when interviewers ask questions about compatability...

It's OK, get him drunk and he fesses up. :p Some of us know what The Universe does (sort of) and why it's a secret. Yeah, my job sort of requires an anal retentive personality. I'm personally responsible for the MRP settings of over 13,000 materials in the largest aerospace plant we run. I'd...

I'll take Friday Noon to 2 with Dextra. -Dave

Hey, Tonya's husband was home with their son while she was joining the TBRs at the Red Garter last year. -Dave

Dude, it would be so cool to have some company in the Mauve Ring! I know Tonya is crushed that she can't go this year. She said the initiation was almost as much fun as the Garter, and those (along with your ORCZ! game) were her favorite parts of GenCon! -brought a date to the Garter last year...

I was rather hoping to help with the demonstrations... :p Besides, these women all know me too well to invite me to their party. So I'm not concerned that I'll be missing the TBR excursion. -Dave

Dave Stebbins here, code blue (balls) and ready to attend. :p I will adjust my schedule to make myself available for any initiation ceremonies which will require my presence. Also, I'm driving, so I can bring any materials which might cause a... situation :heh: at airports. Let me know. -Dave

LOL, the one game I've signed up for that is actually scheduled overlaps this one. I'll have to catch this one next NCGD, Rel. -Dave

Works passably well means that it isn't the highest rated product out there, but I haven't had any problems with it. In the two or three years I've been using it, it has removed a couple of virii before they did anything and, as far as I can tell, my computer hasn't been infected with any...

I use AVG because it is easy to setup and use, works passably well and is free for home use. For your other question, there was some kind of database meltdown recently and the last usable backup was from December 29th, 2005. So pretty much everything since then has disintegrated into the ether...

Probably not, but there will be at least two other gatherings/outings covering the same time period Friday night, and possible pick-up RPG games as well. There will be a 'choirboys' gathering of gentlemen and Teflon Billy will be leading his Rapscallions on their annual tour of of the Red...

So we can point and laugh real loud about all the others at GenCon who don't have EN World badges! :D -Dave

My first thought when looking at the sheets was that if they were arranged and printed out two-sided on B-size paper (and folded into a single-sheet, fourpage booklet), the skill sheet would be on the 'back' of the main sheet and the other two sheets would be on the inside. -Dave

I've been with the same company for almost 17 years now. My background is Industrial Engineering (got my PE in '99), but I am currently an Operations Planning Specialist. Basically, I track all 13,000+ part numbers at the larger of our Aerospace manufacturing plants and help the staff by setting...

"I wonder why we can think faster than we can speak." -Calvin "Probably so we can think twice." -Hobbes -Dave :)

Did someone say food and Frisbee? :) Count me in, Gabe! Summer Saturdays were made for being at picnics with friends! -Dave

Sign me up on the waiting list, Stuart! Dang, take a couple days off from the message boards and I totally miss all the good seats! -Dave :)

I'd like to be added to the waiting list for this one, please. Thanks! -Dave

Once the time slots are firmed up, everyone will be moving around, but I'd like to be on the list also, please. :) Thanks! -Dave

I'm in! Dibs! Me, me, me! :) Either slot works for me, C. I would prefer to play with TU, QD and reveal, since I wasn't able to do so at NCGDX, but I'll take either slot if you have an overflow for one and not the other. -Dave
