Karen, is the left nav pane supposed to move when you scroll the "contentcontainer" section? I scroll the bald guy up and the nav pane scrolls up, too, moving up over the cute guy in the menu div.. Just sayin'...

Thanks, Sia and Costa, but it's still very much in a dev environment. It should all be latin and I expect most of the links and functionality to be buggy. I really just needed a means to test the GEO IP stuff -- determining which homepage serves up for you all. We're two weeks out from needing the rest of it to come together. Thanks again!

There is a job opening at my work. It would be a step up and I need to write a cover letter to apply for it. I need help. Here are some of the things I want to include. If anyone can give me a hand at this that would be great. I know a cover letter is supposed to really sell yourself, but I am my own worst critic. Here are some of the things I want to convey: Excellent: Organization Customer Service Multi Tasking Attention to Detail Flexibility Business writing computer skills Contractor Documents, correspondence, data entry project Assisted in readying board of director documents Charitable Contributions project Event Planning For the life of me I can't think how to start it. Give me a letter to write to the governor, yeah I am all over that. Write a letter about myself??? NOPE. LOL.

Escapee, it helps to have the job description that for the position you're applying for. Determine the main tasks you'd be undertaking, then match your skills to them. Just listing what your strong points are doesn't tell the employer WHY you're the right person or how you would be better than another applicant. That's my best suggestion to start with. Since you're already employed there, you will really sell yourself at the interview. Know your company and its vision/mission statements inside out so you can talk about how yours are the same (don't know if I worded that right).

ha ha ha, no, I meant that as you write your cover letter, address your skills to the tasks expected of the job.

Job description not job title - i.e. if the job description specifies someone who's meticulous, professional and with four years' experience in <Program A> emphasise in your cover letter that you pay attention to detail and give a particular responsibilty that emphasises that, and you have extensive experience in <Program A> and have also worked with complementary Programs B and C. E.g. if they asked for Word, they're going to like that you know Powerpoint, even if they don't specify it. Play up to the strengths they ask for in the advert for the job. And add a short paragraph saying how you feel that as you already work at the company you're in a unique position to blah blah blah - stuff that shows you have a headstart as you already know the workings of the company.

Several years ago, I bought these little plastic things that slid over rings to make them fit snugger. I'm to the point my wedding ring keeps sliding off, but I'm not ready to re-size it anytime soon since with my wrists my fingers still swell quite frequently. These things came in a package with several different sizes or thicknesses and were a clear, soft plastic (I guess plastic) material that just had a slit in them to fit over the ring band. Anyone know what they're called and where the heck I can find them?

Thank you Kitt and Who! The second ones Who posted are what I remember having the first time, but I like the others better I think. I get my rings sized bigger on purpose, fingers tend to be swollen more often than not, but until now the rings haven't been as loose as they are now even when my fingers aren't swollen. I made some hand gesture last night and my wedding ring slipped all the way to the tip of my finger, figured it was better to take it off and put it away than to lose it somewhere. Then remembered those thingies and thought that would be perfect.

War my dad bought my mum a second wedding ring a few, well probably more than a few, years ago now. When her fingers are more swollen she uses the big ring, and when they're not, mostly only the winter, she uses her original smaller one.

This time for sure. Last trip was such a whirlwind (and no one who was supposed to be helping me was really helping me) that I was meeting myself coming and going! It wasn't really a vacation. I had no relax time. I need some relax time!
