Companies that are hiring

Just saw this link on msn and decided to post it here.

Someone should make an employment thread. It would be great for all people looking for a job to come in, talk about what they're doing, vent, give advice etc.

Happy searching! I'm sure something will come up for all of those looking.

Done: Employment Thread

My vent? Facebook seems to be sending me some VERY strange messages in Polish! From some of the people on my friends' list. I'll email them back and ask if they're sending me messages in a slavic language and they're all perplexed. I don't actually open the emails, i just see the opener line and it's in a slavic looking language. Weird and odd. So freaking odd. Anyone else get that?

I haven't got any messages like that yet, but someone on my face book posted something about it. I guess ppl where getting messages for something or another making it look like she was in need of help money wise or something, or maybe it was made to look like she was freaking out on ppl swearing and all kinds of stuff. I can't remember there is so many going around its hard to keep track. Tell your friends to not open any files similar and change their passwords if anything looks like its being sent by them. I can't remember any other recommendation that was mentioned.

I guess some of those can be pretty serious at getting your info.

Hmmm.... odd. Yeah, glad I never opened them up but I just found it really odd. Messages from friends in other languages. I guess I'd sort of hoped/ thought FB was safer than that...

meh!

U can find cdn beer in the DC area fairly easy! Mainly Molsons, Labatts, and Moosehead. Wegmans usually has it--and they have Tim hortons canned coffee too--which to me, doesn't taste anything like the real stuff

Last week my email account was accessed from Poland! I had to delete ALL of my contacts because it kept trying to send people emails from my account even though I kept changing my password. I thought that was strange. Luckily gmail wouldn't make the emails undeliverable, so it would just show up in my inbox like so, but it was frustrating. I finally just deleted all of my contacts.

My First VENT! We were invited to MY Father in law's/step mom for a labour day get together today. My sil went down last night to my FIL's house to spend some time with them and brought her dog with her. We woke up this morning, packed up the family including our two dogs stopped along the way to get a "tie out" for the dogs while we were there so they could be out in the fresh air at some point and to avoid any "complications". We got there 2.5 hours later, what a drive haha. First I get to meet my SIL's new Hubby, and their somewhat new dog, small friendly thing. My dogs ofcourse are like "ohhh look a dog lets play"! So they sniff and sniff , then off they go no biggy. A fewer minutes later my "little dog" decides he must sniff again, then somemore haha. Then again off they go meanwhile their dog sits there. "no biggy" My dogs decide the Pup is nothing too interesting and occasionally come back for a few sniffs and a lick. However the dog is their Prince so they begin to "complain" that our dogs are too Hyper. So we put the tie out up and put our dogs on their leads. Now they have about 50 feet to run around and relax and yet to leave the dog alone. Meanwhile the dog still runs free, No problem, next Their dog eats some of our dogs Food (we dont care its dog food) but we pass it along to make sure its ok. The New hubby says sure as long as you dont mind, the sil comes out, he is not allowed to eat their food because he will get sick. Ok fine. So our dogs are tied up and have their space, the other dog wants to play and my dogs dont really care to do much of anything at the moment. So we go inside for a minute to get a drink and our dogs whine as they "aren't alone much" My MIL says that this wont do and we must bring them inside as she doesn't want to bother the neighbors. Of course my SIL says loud enough for me to hear "Oh great now the dogs will torment my "charlie". ERRRR, but whatever. Next Her darling charlie Bites my son, I let it go as he is still young and simply say its no biggy. The dogs come in the house but I am upset by now so they end up back outside with me. Of course the other dog comes out shortly after and they play some more, then he runs off and eats some more of my dogs food. Meanwhile Im not paying attention to the tiny dog running around so Then I get In "###### " for letting him eat the dogs food again. NICE! Then my darling FIL begins to tell my brother in law of how my dogs aren't neutered thats why we are having problems. Problems? what problems? well my dogs are still young and at the very moment I cannot have them neatured as It costs a far share but they will be in a few months.(and yes I have called spca etc but my hubby makes over the Low income limit) Now I know my dogs need to be neatured but up until this point I didn't see too many problems going on here. After that I hear some more chit chat about "my son" and how we got married. people really need to be quiet as they speak. But it does not end their, my sil comes over and starts asking why we are "in the zone" and cannot understand why we are upset. So much has happened in a matter of less then an hour that my head begins to pound and my past memories have start to come back. Everytime we visit his dads house I always feel Judged and unwelcomed. SO a few more minutes pass and the talk continues as if we are not sitting right there, everything is said and thats it we cannot take anymore so we pack up and say we are leaving. It was a bad idea and we are going home. My husband has some words with my FIL and we leave. Now I must explain that my husband Is The Middle child, he is the one who is the black sheep he has done wrong in the past and they always treat him like it. Of course both his siblings have done wrong but they will never admit that their other children could be in the wrong. Nor do the call or make contact, it is all my husband who does that. I am so fed up with the way they treat people as if we are nothing and they are everything. Noone should every think they are better then anyone, cause guess what? their not. We are all human and we are all suppose to get along. err.. Ok I am done. I take it I rambled and I am sure half the people reading this will think I am crazy but It was a long drive 5 hours all together for a visit of 2 hours max. Just to listen to bitching,whining and back talking. Ok doen haha sorry

Hmm, last week the gmail address of the website owner of another forum group I belonged to was also hacked by someone from Bulgaria. They then started to send out emails from it - including to his forum - and harvested the addresses they got from it. These emails supposedly from him were encouraging people to visit a certain pharmacy and buy Viagra - and SUPER Viagra. He later posted the story of tracking down the culprit to someone in Sofia, Bulgaria. Fortunately he didn't have to delete all of the contacts and was able to remove their access to his account.

I'm sorry you had such a lousy time. It really does sound like they expected you to make all of the compromises and that you were doing so. They actually sound very selfish, to me. Your SIL sounds like a real winner. If she doesn't want her dog eating your dogs' food, it isn't your responsibility - it's hers. It is her dog. It really doesn't sound as if your dogs were being a problem. They are young, energetic animals behaving like young and energetic animals with owners responsible enough to make preparations so that they are not a bother. Your SIL didn't do any of these things. It also sounds like she doesn't really have much understanding about dogs either or she wouldn't be complaining like this-- unless, of course, she just likes to complain in which case the only solution is to ignore her as she will never be satisfied with anything you do.

It must be hard on both you and your husband to be in the situation of never being able to do anything right and always in the wrong. That is so unfair. I would just stop trying to do anything different than you normally would when around these people - stop trying to make all of the compromises. It sounds like they don't want to be enlightened about the real state of affairs in their family anyway - and it is their loss. Still, I am sorry that you have to deal with this. It is hard, especially when it is family.
