[QUOTE=Hill-Shatar]Ravager, I just finished typing up my 23 page CV. That was not enjoyable.

@ Fibey: Want me to outdo you too? [/QUOTE]

Outdo me?

[QUOTE=Fiberfar]Outdo me?[/QUOTE]

Out complain.

Its an aquired skill.

Could you shoot me instead?
I'm bored of school... Still I'm going there

[QUOTE=Fiberfar]Let's see.... Maths, German, History.... Probably something else as well... Oh and I have "only" one test and a three hour writing task at school this week [/QUOTE]
dont complain i have one week out every two weeks that appears to be a designated test week, i have atleast 4-5 tests each 'test' week, not to mention any other extra hw/essays/labreports/projects. last week was one such week, i had 6 (yes six) tests and a project to do last week, yet again no complaining.

You don't have an average of two test each week... I'd rather have a week each month with many test instead of tests each week. That gives me less time to study upon the subjects..

Ouch. That does sound bad.

Right, I'm going to watch a film now. Goldmember!

Cya all later on.

i dont have two tests each week, i have 5 tests in one week every two weeks. averages to be 2.5 tests a week, but they all come in the same week, giving me alot less time to study, they teach one week test the next.

and now that is done STOP, no more complaining about miserbalities, the purpose of spam is to uplift not to depress!

See you Rav, hope to see you tommorrow... maybe...

[QUOTE=Hill-Shatar]I was hoping the signature oldtimer was going to stay and spam a while...

She must have had to leave do to my irradiation of manliness. [/QUOTE]

Actually, I had to cook dinner and watch The West Wing.

[QUOTE=Hill-Shatar]So is cynism.[/QUOTE]

It doesn't hold a torch to cynicism though, eh?

Tch, didn't your careers advisor ever tell you a CV should be a maximum of two A4 sheets? How will you ever get a job with a 23-page CV?!

@Rav Canadian?! Perish the thought, dear boy... jolly hockey sticks... etc.

Mmm... I really dont like watching the west wing, give me CSI any day...

Bah! You try having several hundred publications, among many other things. My list is quite long. And I accidentally deleted all but a hard copy when I went to update it.

Bah, lazy english, a two page A4 curriculum vitæ...

Somehow all the Canadians have a reputation around her, for some reason. *shrugs* I have no idea how we got it...

I don't understand why latin didn't use æ instead of ae (Curriculum vitae comes from latin right?)

Actually, I think it is commonwealth english.

Georgi, are you sure that our CVs are the same kind of thing?

CSI is so dull. Give me The West Wing any day.

But what human resources person is going to read a 23-page CV? What they want is the essence of you distilled into two pages. The rest is for the interview.

When you say "all", you mean you and Aegis, right?

[QUOTE=Hill-Shatar]Georgi, are you sure that our CVs are the same kind of thing? [/QUOTE]

No, I just assumed they would be... you are in the Commonwealth, you use correct English spellings, I assumed a CV would be the same thing for you ex-colonials...

[QUOTE=Fiberfar]I don't understand why latin didn't use æ instead of ae (Curriculum vitae comes from latin right?)[/QUOTE]
it does yes, they didnt use the special ae becuase they hadnt invented it yet, it came after the fall of rome if im not mistaken, or atleast my latin teach never mentioned it.

Tsk tsk...Use æ, ø and å instead (ae, oe and aa)

CSI is so dull. Give me The West Wing any day.

Well, at least she does not watch coronation street.

Anyone in the research field. I have to rpovide any and all major papers, ect, on the list, and update it frequently.

For some reason, DW pops up on that list too...

Bah. Us loyalists are proud of our heritage! Anyways, I think that your effienient CV is a sign of how British do things: short, and without much effort.

There's probably lots of criminal activity in Corrie these days... you'd like it.

Ah, I thought you were talking about proper jobs.

DW's reputation isn't around me, she has it of her own accord.

Is effienient actually a word? Much like Canadian men in the bedroom, so I hear.

We just met, Georgi, and already your sweeping me off my feet.

Ah, I thought you were talking about proper jobs.

You just made enemies of two people who regularily post on SYM, bub.

It has only taken me two degrees and a couple of years experience to get in...

I partied all last night. You can always fly over and check us big, strong, and broad shouldered Canadians out, you know...
