Topic: I Said Goodbye to a Friend: of a dear friend's mother whose cookies I had eaten, whose pool in which I had swam, whose house felt like a second home, who always had a hug for me and squeezes for my kids. She will be missed. I haven't seen her in ten years but time and space collapse a bit when friends gather to share memories and mourn a bit with one another. Her passing represents a continued passing of the old guard. I remember when she was my age, I remember when my own mother was my age. It is sometimes difficult to grasp this. For if I truly recognize this, I must also understand that I will someday be my mother's current age - if I am lucky. "The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been." ~ Madeleine L'engle, Author of A Wrinkle in Time Wisdom is more than knowledge and greater than age. It comes through instinct, experience, and a significant amount of failure. So..., it would stand to reason that wisdom does come with age. There may be those who are born with an innate ability to assess a situation or calculate the right response and others who glide through issues with the greatest of ease but true wisdom? This can only be gained through life education. Trial and error. Hit and miss. Joy and Sorrow. From which side of the "and" do we learn? Do we learn from the trial or do we learn from the error? Worth considering and worth investigating. Perhaps we learn from the "and," learning to gracefully move from one side to the other. Realizing that without sorrow, how could we possibly comprehend joy? Honesty, truth, doing good, belief, hope, endurance, integrity, listening, and open to learning more: these are characteristics of wisdom. Seek them. true wisdom is knowing you know nothing by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 3:47am on May 8, 2009

Topic: WORLD'S FUNNIEST TURNDOWN: ause each person is unique. I am working a position in Georgia for a high powered executive assistant to support three Sr. Executives. These guys are some of my favorite clients, they are hands on execs, travel all the time, work like the end of the world has been announced and they have to have everything done before it happens. I posted a job ad that read something like: "This position supports three on the go executives who are great to work for. They are resepectful, fun and very busy. Top clerical skills are just the tip of the iceberg. You need to enjoy a fast paced environment, you work 8-5, 5 days a week, they work 18/7. Flexibility should describe your personality and the ability to "herd cats" at times without getting flustered will be a plus." The ad went on a bit to mention the other skills, describe the industry as a wholesale distribution firm with international locations, etc. etc. I received an interesting resume so sent back an email asking for salary and reasons for change and a time to speak with this candidate. Here is what i got back: "Sandra: Thanks so much for your reply; unfortunately, my husband read the ad and saw that there are "cats" involved. He is allergic and doesn't want me bringing cat hair into the home." Now i realize that we use all kinds of expressions that some people never heard of but.. When i wrote back and told her that there were no cats involved in the job it was just an expression meaning that one would at times have three people asking for something at once and going different directions so might be a little frustrating. The only cats were the ones that sometimes come up on the parking lot that they run off. She came back and asked, "Would i have to be the one to run them off the parking lot and my other concern is that if i work for three people would i ever be able to take a vacation?" My response, "I don't really think this is the right fit, the cats and the vacation might be a problem so let's move on." Let's hear the funniest turndown/questions you ever got from a candidate.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 6:02pm on July 14, 2011
