Good and bad news on looking for work: good -there are millions of opportunities on the Web, bad -there are millions of opportunities on the Web. Now that my CV is registered on the numerous sites, one still has to fill out individual company applications after filling out an application to register on the big job sites. So for practically every job one applies for, you have to fill out two applications.

What gives? Would it be to much to ask the major recruiters to coordinate? My personal peeve is that little increasing bar that shows your progress on filling out yet another form. I wonder where all this info is going. And my second favorite thing is the automatic answer that my resume and application have been received. You are welcome! (Or in the modern vernacular, Thank You.)

Baby Mama

Scooter's birthday and it was also Mrs. Ling's.  RIP Doug. 

Sybil on Tom Joyner speaking about Fox Tv referring to Michelle Obama as "Obama's Baby Mama" - why is it wrong? why is it right? Wrong because Fox appropriated black idiomatic speech in the wrong way--right because it's a free world.  Fox -- with another example of how to get black speech wrong. How should "babymama" be used? Keep it for arguing in the street; wheeling an 'outside' baby into the beauty parlor as the other "babymama" is getting her weave tightened, and similar actions. Can anyone really place Michelle Obama in a situation like that? Media doesn't lump white people in the same group. Is McCain the same white as the whites meth producers who might live in a trailer?
