Why yes, I have heard of this company you call "Pixar".

Every so often a well-intentioned friend who hears about my frustration working in a location so far from my home will ask if I've considered working at Pixar, or send me a job listing that they find on CraigsList or Monster. I'm posting this here so that I can refer to it in the future when such helpful suggestions are made.

Other factors, such as varying seasonal demand for my services and the specific nature of my core competency which does not always fit the job being advertised.

A sentence fragment, consisting of a complicated noun phrase without a main verb.

Oops. My standard practice is to post, then proofread the post on LJ and edit it to correct such mistakes. Looks like I already got this one.

Do you have a tag that says "BUT I AM NOT BITTER AT ALL ABOUT THIS. OH NO. NOT ONE LITTLE BIT."?

Earlier today I was discussing with doug_runs whether it would hurt my chances of employment if a Pixar person discovered this writing.

I'd like to think that this post demonstrates both professional competency and an eagerness to contribute professionally, but I'm frequently not the most accurate predictor of human response.

i'm sure i suggested that when i met you! or at least, the topic definitely came up, but i can't remember if it was me who brought it up.

i totally used to work at the same company as kraquehaus. i think i quit right after he started though.

I don't remember if you brought this up either, mostly because if you did you are in the company of so many other people who have brought this up to me that it's hard to remember individuals in a group that large. In any case, if you did I appreciate the attempt at being helpful and I don't hold it against you or anyone else.

Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't suggest I apply to Google.

Yes, I have heard of this "Google," thanks.

Hey, you misspelled "googol".

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that I am no longer a soldier; instead I have a much more lucrative career now, the sort which enables you to sell your ipods to Nigerians.

What the heck are you doing selling iPods to Nigerians? I just told you where the 9/11 guy is! Go get him!

[cactusthesaint]

I'm the enabler. I enable you to sell your iPods to Nigerians. I don't sell them myself.
