would be helpful? Well, with the help of the internets, I found something spiffy and that would be this: http://tinyurl.com/6n9uwj
DRY PAPER LOG MAKER | Item number: 110320637642 |  |
item on Ebay. (I really need to figure out the whole tiny URL dealie... maybe I can do that tomorrow)(Update...Yay Tiny URL!). Thing is, the log maker is $30. Now, I know that $30 seems like a drop in the bucket but honestly, with the whole no job, no income thing, it's $30 I don't have to spend right now. But at least I know it's out there and that there is hope for making some coolio fireplace logs out of my shredded documents.
It was a pretty cool day in that there were TWO jobs to apply for today (I mean that sincerely... there are days where there isn't a goddamned new thing posted AT ALL, so to find TWO in one day... especially mid-week... is really cool).
I'm finding a couple of recurring "gosh, I wish I knew something about that" skills come up in my job searching... One is SQL and the other is a little more amorphous "web design". There is a new "Head First" book coming out on SQL and PHP that I popped onto my Amazon Wish List so I wouldn't be a dork and forget it was coming out. I really liked the Head First HTML/CSS book I was given so I have some high hopes for the SQL book in that series. Yes, I know, without having some sort of certification or some formal piece of paper saying I know something about SQL and Web Design it may well be useless for me to learn it from a "puttin' it on the resume" standpoint. But it would be nice to be able to say in interviews that I know what it is and the basics of how to work with it. I had one interview where they seemed impressed that I was trying to learn HTML/CSS on my own time (not impressed enough to offer me the job, mind you, but they did express in the interview that they were impressed).
