    Hey Tim, I haven't seen that, but I'll check it out! I'm pretty bad about not watching most special features even though I want to. Thanks for the recommendation!

    BTW, I saw your tweet about buying scores as a "business" move. I know you were joking, but I think that's awesome. Keep it up!

Come see me (especially you, Alison!).

Love,

Seasonal Vocation, Way Out West

I'm looking for summer employment far away from the swamps and concrete jungles of southern Florida.

What looks like a dream gig is being a fire spotter - living in an isolated cabin-like building all summer, out in the middle of an Oregon/Colorado/Montana forest, keeping an eye out for smoke. It would be a great way to experience the outdoors, get a little monastic solitude, and find inspiration for a novel.

I'm looking into the above job, but I'm also exploring alternative options. Has anyone on here held a great, adventurous summer job in the past? Or do you know someone who knows someone who knows someone that could hook me up with such a position?

I'm not really the whitewater-rafting-guide-type person, but I'm willing to stretch myself a little in the spirit of fun and in a desperate attempt to inhale the clean, divine air of the Great American West.

    It sounds like you need to speak to Smokey the bear.

It was a great day when...

...I discovered what the 'CE' button on a calculator does.

What about you?
  • wife_of_burt
    I remember in the 7th grade when I discovered what Int'l meant, on a fieldtrip.

  • wife_of_burt
    We were on a bus and the only problem was that I had the epiphany in front of a whole lot of other kids and they all laughed like I was the dumbest person ever for not knowing it, hindsight, I wonder if they knew? hmmm...

  • sunnylee
    when realized how to "command C" ...like two months ago

    um...what does the CE button do?
    by diminished_seventh at 12/13/08 10:37PM
  • bryanboyd
    i still don't know. if you can make it through engineering classes without it, you obviously don't need it.
    by bryanboyd at 12/20/08 8:58AM
  • vande
    Yes but can you trust the CE button without retotaling the numbers up again anyway? I'm such a pessimist I know.
