All that crap about him leaving the thing out and discovering it by mistake is true, but he thought it was a useless substance he'd found. So eh technically yes he discovered it but he did nothing with it and deserves no credit don't you agree?

i got this job on the condition that I would go to library school after a year, but i'm not going to so i have to find me another job. and it is soul destroying. am tiring fast of finding new and interesting ways to say that i remain calm under pressure, have excellent organisational skillz etc. it is boring and makes me hate myself.
but on a brighter note, thank you everyone for the stuff so far. every little bit of help is a little ray of light shining upon my grim world of application form-filling.

A really GREAT example is The Children's Crusade, and this site deals with it superbly.

At school in England, everyone is taught this. But surely there was tons of barbed wire between the trenches and landmines that would have blown our boys'legs off?
I think there was a book recently published about this subject. Unfortunately I haven't read it.

I'm having the same heebie-jeebies as you about a job too, Nickie. I'm so qualified it hurts but am pessimistic abt. getting an interview. Anyone would think I was applying for (advertised but filled from 'inside') Graniaud job, but it isn't.

i am trying to convince myself that applying for jobs is an exercise in humility adn therefore a character-building experience but it's not really, is it? esp. when you just don't know why, with all the essential and desirable qualifications, not to mention that cheeky grin, they don't even give you a second glance.
must remain positive and enthusiastic. must remain positive and enthusiastic. i spent three and a half hours reading an application pack last night and today's the day where one gets filled out proper, kids. historical misconceptionz penned in for tomorrow or sat.

Francis Scott Key did not write the american national anthem. He penn- ed the words then set them to an old English drinking song. It did not become our national anthem until 1931.
bit poor but keep up the job search - its tough but worth it
