| I found a job listing for a big corporation on an employment website and applied. It turned out the company did all their hiring through a temp agency at that time and, although I didn't pass all of their office skills assessments, they needed a few more people to fill the next training class, so I ... |

There's this excursion-style cruise that goes up the coast of Norway and then around the island to look for polar bears. That would be my dream vacation. I'd also like to go to Antarctica an... |

| Not in the sense you describe, but if the instructions are written out in paragraph form, I have to rewrite them as bullet points or a flow chart the first time I make it. Otherwise I can't keep track of what I'm doing and what I'm meant to do next. I translate all of my recipes to bullet points as... |

I recently rewatched some of last season on my DVR and still laughed out loud at the episode with Steph... |

Dylan Moran Simon Pegg Richard Ayoade and Chris O'Dowd are up and comers for me. I haven't seen them in enough to call them true favorites yet, but I have high hopes ... |
