Trust me, you don't want to bite.

But, this is relatively work-safe.

Wiki.  Is there anything it can't do?

Ha, wasn't it clever of me not to Google that instead of asking?

Here's a tip.  If you have a question like that, and don't want to ask the board, add the word wiki to the term you are searching for.  If there's a Wikipedia entry dealing with it, it'll probably turn it up.  However, it may also turn up other wiki sites, which may not be so work-safe.

This has saved me from having to ask questions that make me feel culturally illiterate, and also from potentially offensive sites (not that I avoid them necessarily anyway, but, it could come in handy).

Or you could just go to Wikipedia and type in your search term there. :/

Yeah but a google search bar is at the top of every browser window.  It's just so convenient.

So back to jobs:

I'm a dad, which is my most important job but also I spend 8 hours a day working for the largest helath insurer in Hawaii on projects related to delivering drug benefits to members.

I'm a public health professional by trade and training. I'm hoping to get back into a more public health program related job. Or back into a government job, whichever comes first.

Living in Hawaii makes it harder, though.

Well Integrity Engineer.

I actually got a new job, everyone! Well, it's the same job, but working for a different company, and, strangely, making twice as much money. Giant multinationals just don't care. I'm still in the farthest reaches of the Arctic.

Plus I bought a house.

Are you doing half as much work for twice as much money so you have more time to come and play with us?

Well, three posts in two days - I guess that's more playing than before, anyway.



Since when the hell am I Ray? I'm Nightlife Mingus, goddamn it.

Also, as an addendum, that link up there won't work even a little. So pretty much typical for my stuff, then.

Wikipedia's internal search is often down. I know there have been many times I went there and it told me to use Google with "site:en.wikipedia.com" instead. If you use Firefox there's always the Wikipedia & Google search plugin.

And if you're almost positive that the term is dirty then Urban Dictionary might be of more help.

Oh, nice house.  And it looks like a lovely place to sit and spend more time on the Internet.

Technical Writer. Or "glorified typist", as some people would say, but I don't ride with those people.

Boring but also stressful work. Oh well, it pays the bills, and as long as I still haven't figured out what I would really like to do for a living...

I was a web developer, but thanks to these guys I quit and am now pan handling outside of the Safeway by the motorway.
Jerks.

Actually, I'm freelance now, so as to focus far more on being a musician, as not being one sucks. That doesn't mean that when sat in front of the computer all day either of those are what I'm doing.

[size=-4]Hey all by the way. I'm semi around at the moment, just as I'm running around doing a hundred things, like catching up with and working with my drummer who is only int he country for another couple of months.[/size]
