This blog entry (Link below.) is by Dr. Bryce Anderson, PhD in Engineering. He makes his living, at least in part, by doing accident site reconstruction. He has testified in several cases, and is one of the smartest people I know. The information at his blog site can be used by almost anybody on almost any make of car. There is an old saying that goes it is sometimes better to be lucky than good. It is also good and lucky, if you know people smarter than you who are willing to share their knowledge. http://tinyurl.com/yjwwxbe.

Two bits of two-bit application advice
One, don’t eat spicy food the evening before an interview. I generally like spicy food and ate some good, very spicy Thai food with a friend the evening before an interview with a placement firm. Normally it is no problem, but I guess nerves being what they are, I kept feeling a “fire down below” during the interview process, and this was on a very cold winter morning. The office I was in was floor to ceiling glass windows on one side with some degree of condensation on it, so you would think the extra “heat” I was packing would have been welcomed by me. Not really. But don’t worry, I did not make unwanted noises or odors. But I was relieved when the interview was over and the “fire down below” began subsiding.
Two, make copies of the answers to the written questions you are asked. I have made several applications online, and the information used on one online application can generally be used in other applications. At least for me, it saves having to completely re-engineer an answer. It also gives you a chance to review what you wrote and possibly improve on it the next time around.

A pat on the back
I meant to post this early, but time and the holidays got away from me. But now I am. In the overall scheme of things, it is a small item, but an appreciated one. This is a certificate of appreciation from the company I worked for for seven months in 2009, doing contract work, C.J. Enterprises. It says, “In appreciation for outstanding commitment, contribution and most of all for being a team player. December, 2009.” It was a pleasant surprise when it arrived in the mail. I had no idea it was coming.
