I have worked for this corporation for three years, and did a great job. Got promoted twice.
Recently we had a change of management, and my new boss demanded a whole lot of brown-nosing. It started to stink so bad, that at one point I told him off, and resigned.
Now I am looking for a new job, and in one week flying Colorado for an interview for a position I've always dreamed of.

Here is my problem - what do I tell my interviewers about my prev. job? If I tell them the truth, they would probably think I am trouble, I mean I would, if I were them.
I don't want to lie about health issues and things like that, because I believe it is bad luck to lie about those things.

So, I am in the situation where I can't tell the truth, because it only makes me look bad.

What in the world do I do? What do I tell them if they ask me about my employment situation?

Since I was about eight, I have had an obsession with the Soviet Union. I was saddened when the powers that be decided to dissolve it 17 years ago. If every one would have worked together, I think we could have been a happy, productive world not as individual countries, but rather as Soviet Republics -- Europe, North America, South America, Asia, etc.

I also think Communism is the most misunderstood political-economic system. Try visiting Cuba. Every one is happy. The literacy rate is better than any other country on Earth and there are more doctors per capita than almost any other country. Look it up if you don't believe me.

As their anthem stated, the USSR was "created through struggle by will of the People." It'd be nice to think we could some day have a worldwide USSR.

What does this say about Americans? This woman did not do anything to benefit the United States. She only cared about herself. Why are Americans so obsessed with her sad, pathetic, punchline of a life?

My computer is super slow (64mb RAM) I was thinking about purchasing more ram for the computer. I am not to savvy about computers so I was wondering if this should help my computer go much faster. Also, is it easy to install on your own? Would I be able to finally play a computer game?! lol thanks for your answers in advance.

One of the questions I was asked here when I went to se the doctor for an exam was if I had had a rabies shot lately. I almost asked him if I had to wear a tag on my colar.

After checking some I found that here it is quite comon for people to have rabies shots even though they have not been bitten by an animal. Rabies is here so I guess it is a good idea so now I have had them.

table foods? I'm not talking about steaks, but stuff that will be easy for her to eat, like mashed taters and gravy. What about baby cereal? She's taking almost a whole bottle of formula, and it isn't satisfying her at all. And please don't tell me to talk to her pediatrician. All he'll say is wait until she's 4 months old. She'll starve to death by then!! And don't lecture me, either. I'm just asking. Anyone not giving good answers WILL be reported.

If I caught the flu, would that be extremely dangerous? His doctor didn't seem to be worried, he just told him not to kiss me.

My picks:

Underrated: "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" by Pink Floyd

Overrated: Lots to choose from, but I'll go with "Savin' Me" by Nickelback.

Hey. I am 13 and my height is 4'11. I really want to loose 10lbs within about 1-2 weeks. I weigh 125lbs and I feel I am too overweight. I don't want to go on a diet or take pills or anything like that. I need to know what foods to eat, and what type of exercises to do(how long to work out each day), what foods to eat/drink, and if you know any yoga stretches that would help too. Thanks!
