Bika.net

I'm sorry, but are you actually trying to make me leave all the information about me* out in the open, for everyone with Internet connection to see, just so that I could apply for one job that I won't even get? I would laugh right now, only it really isn't funny. At all.

So, you wanted to make some kind of network? Well, good for you. But I don't want to be a part of that network. I don't want people to be able to click on my profile and find out everything about me. I don't want to risk creating a profile just to find out that I can't make it extremly private after it's already too late and I disclosed everything. I do, however, want to apply for a single job and then, hopefully, never go back to Bika.net. What the hell happened to the old-fashioned and time-honored tradition of e-mailing one's CV and cover letter? If it ain't broken...


*Even if it's just my name. I don't want my name out there. I went to great lengths to keep it off the Internet.

A wider net

So, not only am I considering all sorts of jobs I wouldn't have considered a year ago, but apparently, I'm seriously considering a job I'd be doing in my city, but the company is actually located in my city's exurb. Which is a huge problem since I don't drive. OTOH, that is really not a job that requires any kind of interview, so I might be able to pull it off. Not that they would even consider me for the job, but, y'know. Hope springs infernal. Or something like that.


I've been trying to write a cover letter for that website updater job, but I'm still stuck on the second sentence. And the deadline is tomorrow!!! Looks like my muse of bullshit is on vacation. 
I'm seeing her cover letter in her future if she doesn't come back ASAP.

What's worse?

To be deemed not good enough after a job interview or to be considered not good enough to even come for an interview? Just wondering.

Lower room rate? Sounds good, full stop.

I finally booked a room at Marriott Burbank Airport. And I got that lower room rate for the whole stay even though I'll be checking in on Feb 29. My eyes almost popped out when I checked the availability and didn't get that Unsuccessful Sell page. Yeah, I'm grinning like mad right now. I saved $165. Still grinning like mad. This was a good day. Ironically, I'm listening to Powter's Bad day. lol Love that song. :D


The original post about room rates is here: Lower room rate? Sounds good. In theory. 

Eye of the tiger

Plane ticket to Burbank (and back) is bought and paid for will be completely paid for in September 2012.

I was on my way to buy the ticket and the first song on the car radio was Eye of the tiger. :D Appropriate much? lol And when I was going to LAcon this year, I was 3 minutes from the airport when they started playing Eye of the tiger on the radio. That was a nice send-off. :)

I'll have to spend 5:45 hours between flights at the San Francisco airport. :( But it still beats waiting for 7 hours in Frankfurt and paying $250 more for the ticket.
Any chance SFO has free internet?
