I think someone should ask "Ambassador" (hey, is he still around here ? Hy man !) , because he is belgium and could maybe help to understand, but the man pretending to be Jean/Helmut don't really seam able to speak french; i once asked him to write something in french and never get a reply....

Just got home, and it seemed to go fantastically. Interviewed with 4 people, 2 managers and 2 potential peers. Had 4 really good conversations and then went home.

They are going to meet tomorrow and then contact the contracting agency I'm working through. The last guy in the interview lineup left my previous employer a year ago and started at this place on a 6 month "contract to hire" arrangement, the same as the position I'm applying for. He was hired permanent after his 6 months.

I think things look really good, and I expect to hear good news as soon as tomorrow. Now, I'm going out to dinner with my son to celebrate both big occasions today.


Fingers crossed Mike!

Fair enough. Are you claiming it for your Republic of Goofballistan? Or is it the People's Democracy of Nutjobia?

Status: offline 		OK - my wife just went to a gun safety class- she insists that the correct way (as taught by the teacher) to shoot a pistol is NOT to use your index finger to pull the trigger, but rather to use the middle finger... i told her that if you happened to be using a heavy duty revolver (i.e. .454 Casull or similar high-powered weapon), you would likely lose your fingers since the gas jets out of the cylinder and could literally sever a digit (this is no joke).

So, she insisted i check this out: so i showed her some videos on "the correct way to shoot a pistol" - and they used the index finger to pull the trigger... She still insisted it was wrong.

i then offered to check the Thread, as many of you have been officially trained in the use to firearms...

So - what finger do you use to fire a pistol (as trained)?

Index finger pull.

She needs to find another instructor-luckily there's lots and lots of 'em out there that aren't idiots.

Well, I sure can't touch that experience.

30 x .22 rounds from a modified Colt 45 in USN boot camp. Even us total noobs used our index finger as taught there.
