i spend my days thinking of inventive new ways of making myself look good on paper.
and my nights delivering pizza
for example, I’ve now placed 1.5pt white lines between the each of my previous employers in the work experience section, giving each entry a little more presence on the page– like bulleted points, without the bullets. surely, this will give me that competitive edge I’m looking for. so long as my potential employers only take a cursory glance, I’ll easily be heads above the rest.
heh.
This is an excerpt from the book I’m reading right now that I found to be particularly profound:
Internetwork Packet Exchange / Sequenced Packet Exchange
Like TCP/IP and AppleTalk, IPX/SPX is not a single protocol but rather a protocol suite. IPX/SPX was created by Novell for use on Novell Networks. When Novell had a larger presence in the network arena, so too did the IPX/SPX protocol suite. Today, the popularity of IPX/SPX has yielded to TCP/IP although it is still used in some network environments.
Who would have thought? Who would have known? I always thought IPX/SPX was a single protocol, rather than a protocol suite. I would certainly recommend Exam Cram 2: Network+ Second Edition, by erudite authors Mike Harwood and Drew Bird, to anyone and everyone. It has profoundly affected the way I view network protocols, and networks in general. And it’s not entirely devoid of real-life application, either. For example, in social networks, I realize now that non-verbal communication is not a single form of communication, or communication protocol, if you will, but rather a suite of gestures and movements and … and … oh good god…. am I really typing this?
If it’s not interesting, at least I can sarcastic about it. =)
