- enjoy that. - Mel Profit Feb 20, 11:34 2
  - Yeah. It's pretty much why I'm here. When I learned there was no service for my grandma on my dad's side, I jumped on the chance to come up here. -- nm - Qale as Folk Feb 20, 11:37 1
    - I love these moments even if they start out for reasons that are sad. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 20, 11:43

    - I love animals, but man, they can sure be dicks. - Spawn Feb 20, 11:39 5
      - Sounds like owner was cited and the animals were seized? -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 20, 11:41 4
        
        Sorry, was rather upset while reading. -- nm - Spawn Feb 20, 11:44
        
        Yes, but this isn't over. I have an ambulance ride and ER visit to pay for. etc etc -- nm - crash davis Feb 20, 11:42 2
        
        Surviving a three on one dog attack is pretty badass, lead with that when talking to cute lady nurses. -- nm - Max Feb 20, 11:45
        
        And pain and suffering costs incurred. - Will Hunting Feb 20, 11:45

- Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Any serious injuries? -- nm - GregW Feb 20, 11:27 2
  - His legs are all torn up. They're both wrapped from ankle to knee. He's got a bunch of punctures on his hands and arms and a bad case of road rash on - Trish Feb 20, 11:34 1
    - Yeah pain is a given, but that can be controlled and it will pass as long as the injuries can heal. Hang in there. -- nm - GregW Feb 20, 11:35
- you need to go back and show those dogs who's boss! - groiny Feb 20, 11:26 17
  - Animal Control has them already -- nm - crash davis Feb 20, 11:29 16
    - do you know if they had their rabies shots? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 11:29 15
      - Animal Control knew the dogs and the owner due to previous complaints. They said the owner never licensed the dogs and probably didn't get them shots -- nm - crash davis Feb 20, 11:34 14
        
        Yeesh. Yep, time to put those dogs down and time to make the owners pay through the nose. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 20, 11:41

        Great! Well, get some brain tissue samples from them. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 11:34 10
        
        This is probably completely the wrong tone. Sorry. Hopefully they've got you on good painkillers. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 11:36 9
        
        i was like, wait? what? do we know if they've been put down? eff. -- nm - Diva Feb 20, 11:39 1
        
        I was being a bit ambiguous as to whether I meant the owner or the dogs. I am sure they have not been put down. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 11:41
        
        I don't mind the tone at all. But if you feel guilty, you should show up for Halo this weekend so I can watch groiny teabag you :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 20, 11:37 6
        
        can I bark at him while teabagging him? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 11:38 5
        
        How would that be different than normal? -- nm - Truman Feb 20, 11:54
        
        That's preferable than your normal rubbing peanut butter on it to improve your taste. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 20, 11:49
        
        *snork* -- nm - b. Feb 20, 11:44
        
        I thought that was your safe word? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 11:41

- [deleted] 2
  - Yup. I got this job because I worked here before and knew everybody. -- nm - spamlet Feb 20, 11:43
  - word - SyrDragon Feb 20, 11:36
- Monster.com would be my first go-to, then probably indeed.com -- nm - oblique Feb 20, 11:29 1
  - in my exp, putting yourself out on Monster will get a bunch of headhunters calling then they do the legwork -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 20, 11:37
- LinkedIn, Beyond.com, usajobs, word of mouth. -- nm - loosilu Feb 20, 11:25 2
  - Have you used any of those specifically (besides WOM)? What do you like about them? -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 20, 11:26 1
    - yes, all of them. I sent out mass messages on LI and got a few leads from colleagues. Another thing I did, when I got a lead from somewhere else, - loosilu Feb 20, 11:30
- Craigslist, CareerBuilder, Dice. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 11:24 2
  - What about them works well for you? -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 20, 11:27 1
    - honestly, it is just the ease of finding keywords with CB and Dice. - groiny Feb 20, 11:28
- Call peers in the industry. If it's a change in location, find out who the big players are (companies) there. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 20, 11:24 3
  - Websites: LinkedIn, CareerBuilder, specific sites for the companies I'm interested in -- nm - Strongbad Feb 20, 11:27 2
    - What do you like about LinkedIn and CareerBuilder? Do you search job postings on LinkedIn or are you more seeing potential jobs in your feed? -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 20, 11:28 1
      - It's been a while since I've actively job searched. - Strongbad Feb 20, 11:30

- But more importantly, a 15% price cut on the existing Move! -- nm - Ender Feb 20, 11:19 3
  - I'm soooooooooooooo glad I never purchased the Move. -- nm - Shaun Feb 20, 11:22 2
    - It's pretty much the 32x of this generation. - Ender Feb 20, 11:25 1
      - I do appreciate that there were a few shooters that were Move compatible. -- nm - Shaun Feb 20, 11:29

      - No way that could be considered a reality show. At most it is a clip show, but it should just be comedy. -- nm - GregW Feb 20, 11:29 4
        
        he stands there and reads off a teleprompter. of course it's scripted. -- nm - Diva Feb 20, 11:45
        
        It appears that the categories were defined as scripted vs. non-scripted. - Strongbad Feb 20, 11:32 2
        
        right, the Kardashians are totally unscripted. -- nm - loosilu Feb 20, 11:33 1
