Hi. 
[QUOTE=Eric48;2219282]As opposed to spring and fall snow? :lol:
I just googled “blackflies in Alaska” to see if you guys had a problem with them up there in the Summer. All the stuff I read said mosquitos are the real problem. Are they really that bad?[/QUOTE]
They’re big and plentiful, but some areas are worse than others. Valdez is probably on the lower end since it stays a little cooler in the summer. We’re heading to Denali in a week and they are pretty bad there.
Nothing big. We get ones that are big enough to feel maybe once a month or so, but they’re just barely noticable. Since I’ve been here we’ve probably had 2 that make you think “here we go” for a second, but they quickly went away. We are aware of the possibilities thanks to the Good Friday earthquake, however, and stay prepared.
I drove a friends '08 R32 (VW) last night. It’s really nice. I’ve never cared for veedub’s but it almost made me a convert. For its power and handling and all its neat toys, there just wasnt enough feedback for me. Fantastic daily driver though.
if it didn’t demand premium it’d be perfect for a DD. 
My Fucking PS3 took a shit on me. Supposedly its the Blu-Ray Drive. Replacement ones can go from $40-$120 shitty shitty bang bang.
Free SLURPEE day today at 7/11!
So how about that scion fr-s?
interview candidate yesterday was a home schooled , only child, who took an “alternative path” to a nursing career. She kept going back her “strong midwestern values” and “degrees in home economics and alternative medicine” before indicating that she would need to work a 4 day, 20 hour work week, in order to “give her brain enough rest”. Her salary requirements read like a list of terrorist demands ($120k a year, 5 weeks vacation, free medical/vision/dental…). How fast do you think I turned her resume into toilet paper after I didn’t offer her the job?
Why are you such a magnet for absurdity?
Ever been to New Jersey?
On a fun note, I’m catching up on the newest season (17, starts here end of august) of Top Gear. Rowan Atkinson in the reasonably-priced car. 
I’m not even in HR or a hiring manager in any way shape or form. My superiors like to mix it up though and they’ve decided to let me and a handful of others interview select job applicants. Nice break from the day to day.
Did you meet with her in person? I think it would have been unprofessional to laugh straight in her face, but some obvious smirking was definitely called for.
in person. I was a stone faced killer and should have won the academy award for best actor. No laughing or smirking. Played it cool with lots of "Umm-hmm"s and "Yes yes I see"s

Best Show on the planet. So far…All of Season 17 is pretty damn good. Except the fact that BBC America cuts out a good portion of the show to fit time constraints.
too many dicks on the dance floor.
I usually watch it on streetfire.net. the graphics arnt anywhere near HD quality but it works for me
Saw a Bugatti Veyron in person today, almost lost all bowel control.
