We're through to the last 16 :D:D:D on Agg Bolton 1-0 Atletico Madrid. I'm just in awe. Next tie is Bolton vs Sporting Lisbon. |
NICE mate! Aberdeen got humped in the end, but seriously shoulda been a lot better. Goal chalked off for offside that was fine. Bastards. Still out sang them in their big fancy stadium. :p |

haha. I saw it, you saw their ultimate class though. But their fans are kinda ty, all you could hear the night we played them was our fans singing ginger mourinho to megson. Now though, we're ed against Lisbon, they're pure class on the european stage. |

Yeah can't grumble, our lads played to the end, what more can you ask?
As for Lisbon... if you can pass Augiero (sp) and co. You can pass anyone. |

well Aguero only played 14 mins in the 1st leg as a sub before being sent off & banned for 2 games :p I guess if half the sporting team do the same then we may just get through. I'm not confident though, Atletico can be troubled with our physical game, I dunno if it'll do as much for the portuguese. Plus if you get just one bad ref who can't deal with a striker who puts himself about like Davo does for us, we'll be screwed. And obviously if Diouf spits on someone. |

I had a somewhat crushing realization today that for the vast majority of jobs I really, really want right now I am either:
A. Vastly overqualified.
or
2. Not quite qualified enough.
Which wouldn't be quite so bad if I weren't getting job offers from places paying relatively well to do things I have absolutely no desire to do (i.e. sell insurance for prudential or managing a Perry Ellis, Ann Taylor, or Marc Ecko store).
Color me happy I started the search early.  |

What's so confusing about being overqualified?
I'd like to think the majority of my professors are overqualified to work at McDonalds, is that unheard of?
:conf:
I'm pretty sure it's just a phrase used to describe a situation where your credentials eliminate you from contention for certain jobs because employers feel as though they have to pay you more (and don't want to), or the job in general offers less money than you'd be inclined to take for it. |

Yep. Or they predict that you'll soon have much better job offers and leave. |

Which are, unfortunately, many of the jobs I have submit resumes for recently.
:(
Oh well. |

When did I ever say I was confused? I know what it means, I just never heard of anyone being "overqualified" for a position in any work field. A PHD doesn't make you overqualified, it makes you better than people who ask if you want fries with that. Kudos to you if you are. |

:stongue:
Jesus - you make it sound as if it's some kind of arrogant statement when it's just the way people talk.
FFS. Get a grip.  |
