What do these people do for work?

Most of the women were teachers, and interestingly nearly every single one of my female cousins/aunts was a college graduate/professional whereas most of the men were high school graduates or drop outs (factory workers, military, etc); the graduation party was for one of my cousins who just graduated from college (information systems/business), and another who just completed her Master's (I think psychology but I'm not sure; she's a teacher).

The dude we stayed with who had the epic house/electronics is a book keeper who owns his own business (didn't go to college). As an accounting student my idea of book keeping changed a bit during the trip. I guess book keeping makes sense in a country area, whereas in most other places someone would hire an accountant/CPA to do their taxes. He does taxes for a lot of small businesses (farmers for instance), and I'd certainly see why they'd prefer book keeping to a costlier accounting service.

But like I said, dude seemed uber well off and his business was booming. When I graduate he wants me to come down there and work, but I don't think I'd want to move to Texas.

So Saturday I was driving to the grocery store when traffic stopped to let some protesters walk across the street lanes. The protesters were carrying signs that said "MALE SWINE" and "RAPE CULTURE" and my response was "just another day in Santa Cruz". I didn't think much of it until today, where those same people came on the radio and I learned they were participating in Slut Walk.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SlutWalk

The speaker said she was taking back the word slut. They also had highschool girls announcing their slut pride.

Sigh. I remember when feminism made sense.

I kinda feel bad.  A friend that I work with just bought himself a new laptop a few months ago and offered to sell me the old one for $75.  I looked at the specs on it and I figured it couldn't be half bad.  I got it home, formatted it and reinstalled the original OS on it (XP).  Even with all of the proper drivers on it, this thing was SLOOWWWWWWWW.  For good measure, I checked to make sure I had all of the proper drivers on it, but it still didn't fix the problem.

I played around with a couple of free lightweight OS's on it (Jolicloud, Chromeum, and Ubuntu), and they all installed, but none of them recognized the wireless adapter or the ethernet adapter.  As a last-ditch effort, I tried installing Windows 7 because it is also lightweight.  I've got the best performance out of 7, but it still lags badly when I try to open more than one program and it doesn't recognize half of the hard drive space. 

I called the guy tonight and left a message telling him we needed to talk about the laptop.  I haven't paid him any money yet, and I'm going to ask him to let me give it back.  It's just not worth the $75 asking price.  It might be useful in the future if anybody builds an OS that is properly compatible with it (I would say Chromeum or Chrome OS have the best chances), but until then it's kinda just junk.

Suggestions or advice on how to handle this?
WTF

OH SHIIIIEEEETT.  So this hipster burger joint in Santa Cruz added "poutine" to their menu so I'm psyched to try since I've never really had it outside of my own homemade attempts.

It's fucking chili cheese fries.

This past SNL was one of the best in a long time. It should be up on netflix soon if you missed it.

So for those shoes the shipping rates are

Quote
United States
UPS Ground    Free for orders over $75    $15 charge for orders under$75
UPS 2nd Day Air      One pair / $32.00      Each additional pair in same shipment / $15.00
UPS Next Day Air     One pair / $65.00      Each additional pair in same shipment / $25.00
Canada       
UPS Ground                            One pair / $25.00             Each additional pair in same shipment / $10.00
International
The international shipping charge is $135.00 per pair of shoes. If the requested items are in stock, the transit time (via UPS) is normally 4-5 days.
There is no U.S. tax charged on the purchase, but any tax or duty applied by your local authorities upon arrival would be your responsibility.

I assume this meant that canada wasn't the same as internation but I sent them an email just to be sure.  This is what I got.

Good Morning,
 
Thank you for your message.
I can offer you a shipping rate of $65.00 for one pair to Canada.
When placing your order on our secure website, please make note of this offer in the "Special Instructions" section and we will make the adjustment for you.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Brenda

    In your faq, you have both Canadian shipping and international shipping listed, I just want to make sure that this means that shipping to Canada is different from the international price?  Thanks.


wtf just happened?  It's like my special offer is more expensive than the regular offer?

What's the name of that canadian dish that has fries and lots of cheese and gravy I think?

poutine, motherfucker.  remember it.  :punch

OH SHIIIIEEEETT.  So this hipster burger joint in Santa Cruz added "poutine" to their menu so I'm psyched to try since I've never really had it outside of my own homemade attempts.

It's fucking chili cheese fries.
Oh Santa Cruz...You never fail to disappoint.


Poutine invaded Seattle restaurants a few years ago. It makes me happy.  :)

you dont pass up an opportunity over something like that.  maybe learn up on flash a little bit more and figure out the rest as you go.  worst-case scenario is you get a couple paychecks before they fire you for sucking

From reading that letter, it seems more like you've been offered a chance to apply, which isn't remotely similar to "offered a job." But you are right to have sent your resume. If you are given an interview, it will be a good chance to practice even if you don't get the position.

In the meantime, practice whatever you can to become as strong in that task soon, and practice interviewing with friends -- especially if you have any who are recruiters or work in HR.
