    Haha in my industry if we hand-wrote anything we'd get odd looks. Even all our reporting is done online now,

    Yes, but you're not applying for a job in your wife's industry. This is 'old school' (literally and metaphorically) that we're talking about here. I think a typed CV is enough to show you are computer savvy but that doesn't mean you have to go the whole hog!

    As for the bread, that's not a major problem, just beware of going in for a loaf (presumably the 'Red Ed' organic deli type not basic sliced white!;)) and coming out with a load of other stuff. I'm surprised you haven't got a breadmaker like Dave!:rotfl:

    Me, "computer savvy", um just about enough to use Word ... :o

    :rotfl: at the bread. No, I don't like sliced white and go to a local bakery, so not pretentious at all. As for baking my own bread, I'm clearly not in the same league as "Dave" there.

    Hope you are ok Alex. And that your absence is due to money making not money spending?
    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    Are you okay otherwise?

    slowlyfading: Not really. However, I should have some money together by the end of the month to pay towards clearing the debt.
