As someone who is in the process of relocating to Portland Oregon from the Commonwealth of Virginia I find it amusing that this weekend’s big football game between Oregon State’s Beavers and University of Oregon’s Ducks is referred to as the “civil war”. I mean really…….CIVIL WAR??
I don’t know about you but I’ve always thought ducks and beavers coexisted quite peacefully. I’m a huge fan of the Discover Channel and I don’t believe I’ve ever seen ducks and beavers battling it out in the ponds and streams of our great land. Have you?
As I watched today’s game I was at first conflicted about who to root for during this epic battle. Ducks….Beavers….who would it be? After pondering the whole issues I decided it would be the Ducks. Yes, the mighty Ducks (not to be confused with that lousy hockey team….for the record I am still a huge Caps Fan!
As it turns out, I am actually a huge fan of the duck. This includes Daffy and Donald. It also includes Aflac.
Then there are all of the culinary ducks: Confit, Peking, and A L‘orange. I also can’t forget about all of the cooking virtues of duck fat.
I’ve even been to the store, “Culinary Duck” that is located in the town of Duck!
I guess what really bothers me about this entire thing is the Civil War reference. Even though I was not born in Virginia (again for the record, I was born in NY), I am a bit defensive about a school rivalry moniker that is clearly more deserving of my current home.
The Civil War was actually fought in Virginia (given the local politics there….some might say, that war is still being fought there). The capital of the Confederacy was located there (Richmond for all of you non-history buffs). And of course, the Civil War ended there (Appomattox, VA).
Yes, in my mind the mega battle between Virginia Tech and UVA should henceforth be called the real collegiate Civil War. The passion. The history. The imagery. So who would you root for, Hokie or Cavalier?
The job market seems to be preparing itself for big gains in 2011 as evident by the number of senior level corporate Talent Acquisition positions currently being recruiting. Here are just a few positions that have crossed my desk in the past few weeks:
I am a bit of a culinary geek and I wanted to share with you the one knife I think all serious home chefs need to add to their collection. It is called a Honesuki and it is an amazing, versatile kitchen knife.
Volunteering will have a positive impact on how recruiters and hiring managers evaluate you as a candidate — heck, I’d even go so far as to say it might become an experience requirement for companies over time. Here’s why:
Ahh the Internet, it’s a series of tubes, didn’t you know? It connects you to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. And, there are two sides of that coin, one being helpful and one being not so helpful. So, how do you manage the deluge of information on the Internet in a way that helps you find a job or find a qualified candidate for a job?
