While checking the spelling on my resume, Word 2003 suggested "Gloating" instead of "Geocaching".

Maybe try calling 12455 and ask the Telstra computer what it suggests?

Ever ripped a Huge Burp at the telstra computer ?

Tried it once and ended up with a taxi company phone number.

Hounddog and I love to make unknown sounds on the telstra info. I have blown rasberries and talked jibberish etc. Love doing it

I have a friend who worked in the directory assistance call centre for a period. The operators listen to what the caller has said when the computer decides it can't match. She has some interesting stories about people who have not realised this

I was at a meeting with the "outplacement consultant" (I am looking for work) and he was reviewing my resume. I was asking him if it was a good idea to include a "personal interests" type section. He scanned down the page to take a look.

"'Geocaching' What's that?"

Well, let me tell you...
