I wonder if I'll get a response...

Hello Frank,

God Bless you. You have inspired me to go on my own Hospitals Project prayer crusade. I feel my life has been a waste until this point. You have driven me from my sinful selfish ways and lead me by the hand towards the light. I am selling all of my possessions. This included my telephone. I am sorry you were unable to reach me. That was unacceptably rude of me. I am heading into the Canadian arctic to some remote communities to do God's work. You are an amazingly good man Frank. I want to praise you, but that would be breaking one of God's testaments. Please remain humble, and keep up God's good work. Someone would be lucky to stay in your Godly apartment. I am sad that it will not be me. Though I can't look back now. I can't let the devil break me. I can only go forward now.

Praise the lord,
Jesse

I think I'm going to tell them they have inspired me to follow my heart, or possibly the Lord, and go on my own "Hospitals Project prayer crusade", and that I won't be needing their apartment anymore.

Alison,
Can you knit while napping? That could impress someone, maybe. Being able to do anything while napping seems like an impressive feat to me. Not that knitting itself isn't a skill unto itself.

I say just make the site as if the business already exists. If anyone is interested, you have a business! Just wait for the technology to catch up. Step 3: profit.

Hey,
Guess what domain I just picked up that I'll never, ever, ever let go?

genescort.com

Now what to do with it is the question...

Also, regarding the student loans data breach mindboggling stupidity: Free credit monitoring offered after loans data loss:

If you received a letter from the government saying you're affected, you can provide your consent by calling toll free number at 1-866-885-1866 within North America.

That's awesome, Mary.

I think there's only one thing you can do when the doctor orders you to eat a hot dog:

I had the strangest experience at the doctor's office today, which went as follows:

"Well, your blood preassure is low, so we need you to eat more salt and fat."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. Maybe have a hotdog for lunch."

I think perhaps my doctor is making a joke at my expense.

Yes applying for jobs ardous, I can relate.

Knitting and napping? hmm... Maybe knitting under the hobby section, lets potential employers know you actually have hobbies and other interest. Napping probably leave it off. I'm sure you can figure out more skills you can add, you have a large wealth of them. I know after not writing a resume for a while I felt pretty darn rusty.

Or, Jesse, you could send them an email saying that you're going to rent from someone who is clearly not a scam. This is what I told people who wanted me to send them money for folkfest tickets that they would then mail me. It got them to leave me alone at least.

Jesse, I wouldn't pursue it any further. For all you know, whatever fake transfer number you give the dude might be somebody else's legitimate transfer number...

Maybe just say something like you found a place that's letting you SEE and TOUR the apartment before putting any money down. ... and leave it at that?





In other news, does anyone else have this problem? I'm refreshing my resume to apply for some jobs and the only skills I can think of right now are "knitting and napping" but I'm not sure my prospective employers will be at all impressed... Thoughts?

Also, why is the whole job application process so arduous?
