Gremlins. Why couldn't they just leave well enough alone?

I always get confused a bit about the seven layers in the model. I know that they exist, and generally what they are, but it is always difficult to articulate them to someone else.
The four-layer model is usually easier to explain.
- Julian
are we talking about salad? because I love 7-layer salad ;)
- maʀtha
I was thinking dip!
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
OSI model. Basically, how the Internet works. I had never heard of a seven-layer salad, and a seven-layer dip would be a good comparison to the OSI model. Mmm... dip... *Homer drool*
- Julian
Well...the Internet doesn't really work using the OSI model. (RLG had a network that *did* use the OSI model, but TCP/IP, the heart of the internet, mixes-and-matches levels. I'm not an expert in this area, but this is how I understand it... Believe it or not, at one LITA National Conference, the Fuzzy Match Interest Group put on a musical rendition of the OSI layers.)
- Walt Crawford
OSI is a general guideline that usually breaks down at layer 4.

Um... they're starting to trickle in a bit. I have already been on the phone today.

I kind of thought that today would be when things would start to come together nicely. I can honestly say that I like my future prospects a lot better now than I did a week ago. Apparently, I have had market value all along. Today, I received a new phone call, made a return phone call (which, in turn, is moving things quickly), and I have a call scheduled for tomorrow.

Good luck!

The city that is just three blocks away from me just lowered its voting age to 16.
Interesting! There are some City Council folks who'd like to do that here, for city elections.

our state wants to permit university students to vote ONLY IF they changed their permanent address to University Town. Otherwise, they must vote where their parents live. *sigh*

I woke up after accidentally falling asleep for a nap. I looked at the time, and truly thought that it was already morning. I was wondering, though, why it was so dark outside at this time of year.

I wish I didn't have to sleep so much. Every time I try to defeat sleep, I lose. I have stuff to do that is too important to take a break.

Humans need to sleep. Humans with sleep deprivation start showing cognitive impairment very quickly. For some, mild might look like ADHD. For others might be psychotic.

sleep is good for so many things. please try to sleep enough!!

My phone and e-mail have not been blowing up yet. However, a bit of response has been coming in. Basically, rejection. The rejection will only get easier. Already, I have been told that I am not a good fit for stocking shelves. I can only (im)patiently await more.
Why would you stock shelves? You have serious skills
- maʀtha
My skills are worthless even to me if I am homeless, or heading in the direction of homelessness. At minimum, supplemental employment is a good idea if I can make it happen. However, *any* employment at all is the reality for which I must prepare myself.
- Julian
Oh Julian
- maʀtha
Or you could get another job that uses your actual skills. Even if you were homeless, you could use your actual skills to get a job.
- Meg V. Meg
If you really want a job stocking shelves (which is fine if that's really what you want to do), you will likely have to leave some of your work experience and skills off of your resume/application. In management's eyes, you are probably *overqualified* to stock shelves, thus it's not worth training you, because you are just going to leave for better paying employment somewhere else.
- Meg V. Meg
The message here NOT being that you are now trapped between impermeable levels of jobs that you are somehow exclusively under/overqualified for, BUT that you should seek employment that matches your skills and your interests and your goals. Which you do have. Demonstrably. In spades.
- Meg V. Meg
Well said
- maʀtha
^^^^^ and hugs.

I spent fifty-one hours indoors.
Just in case, since I am alone... I am not looking forward to going out there again tomorrow. (Most of it, anyway.) Maybe not the next day, either. One day or two at a time.
- Julian
I am generally not a fan of leaving the house, either.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
I do not want to sleep. I was disappointed in myself for dozing off in the middle of an application. I must be weak and lazy because of that.
No, you musn't. A) It's late. (B) You keep talking so harshly to yourself that everything is set up to be a referendum on your self-worth. No wonder you subconsciously try to escape that. Give yourself a break. You wouldn't talk to anyone here on FF as harshly as you talk to yourself.
- Spidra Webster
Wow. I really *am* that much of an underachiever in life.
Quit beating yourself up, Julian. You're way too harsh on yourself.
- Spidra Webster
What has been hurting me lately is that the conditions I have been dealing with on a daily basis make me less and less motivated to do better for myself, and more aware of the hole I am in. Every single time I look at other options, I feel heavily discouraged and a bit hopeless because I do not have nearly enough of what I need, and what they want. (I feel like I just said this recently.)
- Julian
I think you need to be talking with someone regularly who can give you a reality check. The way you talk to yourself is very harsh so it's no wonder you're demotivated!
- Spidra Webster
I should give a certain someone exactly what he wants, and just disappear forever (mostly from here).
I think I disagree
- MiniMage
wouldn't it be easier to just block the person here and not have to worry about it?
- Bren
Bren is right. Don't let them make you leave.

I had not updated this document since 2008. It needed a ton of re-vamping before I could even think about using it again.
An entire page got chopped out of this document because my momentum in that particular area has basically dried up, and it would have been tacky to leave in a huge concentration of stuff that I did five years ago that is basically irrelevant today.
- Julian
I would love to be more obvious, but you have probably already figured it out by now.
- Julian
Don't feel bad, I've been staring at mine for several weeks now, and it looks so empty when I tried to focus it down to the relevant bits. The last time I really updated it was 2010.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss something as irrelevant just because you haven't been immersed in it recently; depending on the area, you may still have significant knowledge or thought patterns that are useful and can be called up again or are currently in use in other areas but can easily be transferred back.

Can I hire you all at bulk rate?

You have to initial that comment you wrote about me.

Dude, it's in an interactive museum in Paris now. Each word is typed out every 15 seconds while vistors ponder over the significance.

I did wonder who had sent me those plane tickets. It all makes sense now. Sorry I missed the opening, I hope you covered for my absence somehow.
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
Julian: I agree with joey about not throwing out something so quickly. Five years isn't that long ago.
