Story Time!
I told this story to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shoshannagold last night and promised to pass it along.
We were talking about resumes in my night class last night, and a few students were asking about how to put their international experience on their resumes. The prof was telling them how it's fantastic they have international experience, and how important that is to make very clear on one's resume.
A guy raised his hand and said:
"This question is going to sound weird."
Which caused all of us to have a good chuckle. And the guy follows it up, without any other introduction, with:
"How credible is Canada?"
To which I blurted out without thinking:
"You mean, like, as a country?"
He was speaking about how it looks to have been to Canada for international experience, given the general view in America is that Canada is alternately our hat or our attic. It was decided that Canada, being a different country, is worthy of the international travel sticker, and so is, in fact, credible.
Which brings me to this:
Feel free to use at will.

I can say that, as a country, we are HIGHLY credible. Just not really that difficult to get to.

(It had to be done.)

I love your reaction. <3
I would've totally replied to your WBOA entries, but my computer at home locks up when I try to watch videos. :(

Not only that, but if I leave my computer idle, but with the screen off, it will freeze after a while. The restart button has become my friend.
I've opened the case, vacuumed inside, dusted inside very carefully with paper towels, I've shaken the keyboard upside down a few times to get the crud out (haven't gotten a chance to get canned air). Emptied the cookies, run CHKDSK (it froze up once, but the second time worked), did a disk defragmentation on my C drive.
So far, no dice. I'm thinking it might be a virus, but my AVG has been updating like it usually does, and it hasn't caught any viruses when it's checked for any. There's been a few unspecified errors, which make AVG want to run a diagnostic, but so far, those haven't panned out.
Oh, and my Firefox has gotten into the habit of Not Responding the first time I open it, to the point where I have to click the red X and tell the program to End Now before I can open it without a problem.
...
So. Yeah.

But. Yes. That is a very sensible idea, and I really hope that Firefox stops being a dick. *firm nod*
Thanks for the advice. :D

I have no suggestions, but damned if you haven't done everything and more that I would have suggested anyway.
