Travel enough, and luggage handlers or the TSA will damage your luggage. There’s simply no way around it.
So when L.L. Bean sells me luggage with a lifetime replacement guarantee, and less than four months later, this is the result, I wonder how this is going to work out for the rest of my lifetime. 😉
How long does your suitcase usually last?
Yes, it’s a dumb question that creates bias and other problems in the hiring process. On the other hand, when you need a job, you need a job. If mentioning something in response to the “outside of work” question creates an interest or connection with the interviewer, it’s to your advantage to do it.Â
College football is maybe the most white, upper-middle-class version of that. There are others. (Travel, outdoor activities, etc.) We should live in a world where all employers are working to remove this kind of bias from hiring, but we do not live in that world. The one we live in grants an advantage to the job seeker who can find a common interest with the interviewer. You might as well do some research on the people you’re going to be meeting with and turn this bias to your advantage if you can.Â

A while back, when Yahoo announced they were dropping Delicious, I went in search of an alternative. I starting using Diigo to save my links as I was perusing…
I am looking forward to checking out Podcamp Ohio on June 28th. Obviously, I’m pretty interested in see how the unconference works out, and meeting other folks interested in blogging/podcasting/vidcasting, since I’m giving up a perfectly good early Summer Saturday to go hang out at the ITT building. *L* Any of my readers going to…
We’ve been having a great time in Texas this week. The weather’s been great, the food’s been awesome, and even having our train back from a day trip in Austin Sunday delayed turned into a fun adventure. It was cool to be sitting in the little train depot in Austin using Twitter from my Blackberry…
I had just started to see some mentions of the American Bar Association’s TechShow 2008 in Chicago in March this week, and on Thursday I found out that I was being sent there myself, which is pretty cool. I didn’t know how cool until I came across a partial listing of bloggers who will be…

I say you need to travel a bit less then 😉
Will L.L.Bean honor there guarantee and send you a replacement ??
We should have a replacement n a couple of weeks, I just wonder how many times they’ll have to replace it at this rate. 😉
yea, that’s a good question, I hope they can get you a new one faster than 2 ish weeks, that seams a bit long to wait in this day and age.
We could have ordered a new one on the spot, taking about a week, but your cc is charged until the old one is received with that method. We had time so we went with the return and replace plan.
