Luv them DVDs. If you want actually good episodes from the same season, Squeeze, Tooms and Darkness Falls are genuinely creepy.

I got through most of S1, before it was removed from Netflix. I'll have to see where I can find S2. Wasn't Darkness Falls the one with the werewolf?

Overnight, the weatherman's predictions jumped from "run to the store and grab all the bread you can hold" 4 inches of snow over the weekend to an apocalyptic one foot of snow over the weekend, so there's that cheeriness in the air.

Everyone has to do the occasional crappy job that they wouldn't choose to keep the finances going. Future employers would rather you show you were keen to work and rarely care much about the precise job you did (they like the words "transferable skills").

The only way to truly lower your standards is to not bother applying for anything. That's the only way to lose out.

Luziyca wrote:Hope your standards are still high enough to take a job with health insurance.

Although health insurance would be a consideration in the US... yes.

Though some jobs that come under the unnecessarily broad "entry-level" banner come with very good perks (many in the UK have at least some perks, actually; not sure about the US).
