Poems For ReviewRe: The Pain Of True Love by carpenter(m): 4:49pm On Sep 06, 2007
I think I am in a revolting mood today!

How come when peeps have issues, some just go talking about God fearing men and the likes. Peeps make mistakes even the God fearing ones do. Shit happens guys! My advice, see each moment in life as an experience gained. All the best all.
FamilyRe: How Many Are U In Your Family? by carpenter(m): 9:11am On Sep 05, 2007
Hmmm! I hope u guys wont be too alarmed
I know 20 from my dad: 10 men, 10 women. I hate to call any of them boys or girls 'cause they aint that at all. I am the nineteenth and I am a grown man. Last boy in the family. I am not of this generation!

I have nephews and nieces that have given birth to people far older than I am, and sometimes they tease me by calling me uncle which I am in the true sense of the word. Isn't life funny!

Sometimes I just wonder, what would happened if family planning had been considered?

CareerRe: Interview Question: 'What Time Are You Available To Start Work?' by carpenter(m): 2:04pm On May 04, 2007
If u do not have a job presently, i believe a week is okay.

If u have a job, try to honour your employment contract (it might make your interviewer think highly of you). In some cases questions like 'if your employer does not get a replacement for you by the time u are ready to leave, what will you do?' (for critical positions) : say u might need to stay longer for your employer to get someone but that you are confident they will get someone before that time. Some Interviewers want you immediately, and they would tell you straight up (we want you in 2weeks). If the pay is good, i am sure there are ways to play with ur employment contract. Most contracts will state a month notice or a month salary in lieu of notice.

N.B. Employment contract doesn't mean that you are doing a "contract job"

CareerRe: Need Help On E-commerce Project by carpenter(op): 4:02pm On Apr 27, 2007
We would be providing ecommerce services to our clients. Actually we do some form of ecommerce already 'cause we receive mails for requests for our products and services and get back to our clients on time. What we want to achieve now it to be able to sell on our website or some other secure website we might be building such that a visitor to the site can make a purchase using a credit card or debit card as the case might be. A portal sounds more like it and like I said earlier it will be web based.

Thank you for ur response, i have learnt something just by reading ur words.

CareerRe: Choice Of Career by carpenter(m): 11:11am On Apr 26, 2007
Good plan. Please make sure u are doing one thing @ a time, set targets for yourself, create time for fun and you would be glad u did. Most people end up distracted and it becomes almost impossible to re-trace their steps. Write down your plans on how you expect to achieve this e.g. say u need to do six different exams to be ACCA certified, write down when you would like to achieve this and spread your exams or training over that period. Be wise to leave some redundant time for extensions and contact those who are in the process of also getting certified or those already certified, that will help you set a realistic time frame. One last thing, be flexible as your career path and interests might change later, try to accommodate them. Wishing you the very best!
CareerNeed Help On E-commerce Project by carpenter(op): 10:44am On Apr 26, 2007
Hi Nairalanders,

I am a Network/System Administrator where I work. I am supposed to provide Technical/Administrative support for an e-commerce project my company will be embarking on soon (a vendor will be handling it). Unfortunately, I know little about ecommerce (we would like to sell products and services online) and I am having a hard time getting a strategy drawn out. My employers do not know much about IT and assume once something is 'IT' related, an IT personnel should know it. I have taken this upon myself to do my best and would need help to get on with it hoping that the experience will be worth while 'cause sincerely I am not interested (it is way off the career path that I have set for myself). Too bad it is not my call. Kindly assist with anything you can, experiences, notes and encouragements are highly welcome.

Thanks

@kellorah (i wish i was)
It not difficult and from your profile you reside in Uk; there are lots of good places and a wide choice of arts to choose from. Just don't think much 'bout it, walk into a school.

SportsRe: Are You A Martial Artist? by carpenter(op): 11:51am On Apr 16, 2007
I see we are all having fun! I also believe in modern arts too ( Ak-47, semi-automatic pistols, colt and the likes as I had the opportunity of attending a military school)but most martial arts also have weapons learning e.g swords, knives and darts and lots more. What is most important is trying to attain perfection in one's life: that is the 'martial' in the Arts.

I agree that resource people is also an issue, no good dojos around etc. Lets make the best out of what we can get

I dont look bad and peeps call me Jet Li (they say my forefathers might have been Chinese or Japanese, so are you asking me out? lol

Once had a friend that showed me something related to that but cant remember what he called it. Men! the guy just folded the magazine he was using for his project and before we knew it he was uncontrollable. Interesting art

you would be surprised @ what is out there. Those folded 'papers' are something else especially when you know where to hit.

Girl I wish u were in Lagos. Although, I am far from being a Sensei I am sure I can still teach a lot. The marriage thing is really interesting and tempting! That's if you wont mind Jet Li for a husband sha O!

Nwayz don't know of any Dojo in Abuja but will ask my sensei and get back to as soon as possible. I am happy to tell that I believe you took the right decision back in school. We have all had to leave things that we enjoy doing to deal with the ones that matter @ that time but nothing says we can't get back to them. I have a kid in me that missed some things back then, i try to make up for those times in the best possible way.
