An amazing and educational 12 minute video on wind turbine school. Educational! It’s strange but they say ‘tur-bin’ (like fin) where I’d say ‘tur-bine’ (like crime)

With the economic hardship, companies like Men’s Wearhouse and Tahari are reporting an upswing in suit sales, particularly for those classic navy or gray pinstripe styles they classify as “interview suits.”
It’s pretty clear what outfits guys need going for interviews, but for the ladies it isn’t so clear. The pantsuit, skirt suit or no suit? The answer of course, is to wear what is perfectly appropriate for the position and culture of the company you are interviewing for. Make sure you wear classic colours, but don’t look too uniform. The bag you carry is key. Pack a lint roller. The right heels will help you get the job.
That’s so much to think about, I think my head would explode.
