Good luck on the job hunt! I know you will do great!

Advice: When you shake someone's hand (especially if you are a woman), make sure it is firm. Nobody likes a limp fish in their hands-it's weird! Cheerfulgreek, I hope you give a great handshake on all your interviews! I know you will make an impact on potential employers and GOOD LUCK!

Get more sleep. (Note to self...)

Keep things in perspective. It could always be worse no matter how bad a situation is.

Don't make rash or overly emotional decisions.

Don't procrastinate.

If you're going to get a dog, adopt!

Amen. What does smell good? Burberry. No, you can't get it in the grocery store but if you want her nuzzling your neck, there are sacrifices to be made.


Keep a box of blank cards in a drawer. Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or congrats, you will always be ready (to pretend you remembered).

Don't walk around outside in the dirt, and/or mud or there's a possibility you could get hookworms. Once inside, (rent free) they don't eat the food you've eaten, instead they pierce the lining of your intestinal wall and drink the blood from it.

lol @ the "limp fish". Yep. I have heard that before. People say that I do have a pretty firm handshake. My boss said he spoke highly of me to them, so hopefully I'll be able to back up what he said. I'm meeting with them on Monday and Tuesday. It's not really for a position now, but after I graduate next year. I want to be a veterinary cardiologist, so I'll need to do my residency under a Dr. who specializes in internal medicine. I'm hoping everything works out for me. And thank you so much for the advice and encouraging remarks.

Have a wonderful weekend, als463.

Shout this from the rooftop!

I hate getting limp wristed handshakes. I see it as a sign of disrespect and disregard, especially when it comes from a man because he is assuming I want "handshake chivalry" and/or can't handle a firm shake. If people are not physically weak and fragile, PLEASE give a firm handshake.
