Thought for the day.

I'm a cartographer using the Internet to try to find work.

For years, I've said that the difference between sending out resumes and shouting into an empty cave is that a cave will at least give you the courtesy of an echo.

I've just been misinterpreting the signals! You don't just get an absence of response: it's like a mirror! You send out "MAPS", and what do you get back?

The internet has become a wonderful place like that. Practically everywhere I look these days above the level of a minimum wage job, has you apply online. And half the time they're not really hiring, just collecting applications for their own personal job bank to sift through at their leisure. Plus with online applications they no doubt get far more than they would otherwise, so one has to try extra hard to make sure their resume makes it to the top of the pile.

All I know is when I send out MAPS, I get google, yahoo, MSN, Prince Edward Island, and some group that researches pot. :3

Prince Edward Island? I love it there. I could happily spend a career doing cartography on PEI, so long as I had good air filters to keep all the frakkin' red dust out of everything.

We got up to Prince Edward Island a couple of times when we were in Maine. It's real beautiful up there, definitely, but I can only imagine how I'd hate the winters, hehe. Not because of the cold - it's warmer there than Bangor, generally - but because I would very much miss Mr. Sun.

Its one of the few places in Canada I've not been to yet. I need to make a run through the area and visit some friends up in Newfoundland one o' these days.
