Without even reading the article I'm guessing it discusses the "Kim Hair cut" and how all men must have it.

You didn't seriously buy into that did you?

I've never been so angry in my life. Last night someone came into my lane and hit me. However, after the officer shows up, the guy says that he never came into my lane, but at the same time said he never saw me. If he never saw me, how is he sure he didn't come into my lane?

Since there were no witnesses, the police officer couldn't assign fault. Now I'm going to be out around $1k.

I've never been in an accident in my life, so I'm not sure how insurance companies work. I'd imagine I'm just screwed here. The guy did apologize several times, so not sure why he would apologize if he didn't think he was at fault. He said he didn't see me and that I "came out of nowhere", which is odd, as we both turned from the same light, not 300 meters prior. I feel like he was probably on his phone in some capacity.

Ugh, this is awful.

I didn't but some part of me deep down wanted to believe, like Santa Clause. :lol:

LMAO: This commercial for a business school in Ashford:



Here's a tip, never spend an interview telling a company what they're doing wrong.

When I was fresh out the MBA program I went on an interview and did something close to that, but of course I didn't tell the CFO what her priorities should be. I went more like:

Me: Well after looking at your website I could tell that you definitely need url optimization and that your site is also the not very search engine friendly.

Them: You're not here to tell us what is wrong with our company and what we could be doing better, you're here to sell yourself and what you have to offer to contribute to the bottom line.

And that was basically the end of the interview. But I guess the advice they provide at Dick U Ashford.

And that's great advice. Saying stuff like that won't actually help you get a job. What you should do is use this information to make yourself look good once you get there. Do what you said in your first couple weeks and they'll think you're a rock star. If you don't get hired why would you care if their website is working right?

Can you get around it by changing your DNS server like they have in other locations?
