Went to a mandatory unemployment office meeting today. It seemed to be for just a small group of guys . The U/E guy was trying to be helpful but I could tell right away that this was going to do me NO good. I kept quiet, added my info and decided to amuse myself the best way I know how -- watching somebody else's quirks. This guy leading the meeting used the phrase "with that said" at least (no kidding) 40-50 times in the hour .. I was keeping count. I think it was just a nervous reaction..
I had nothing in common with the other guys who talked a lot about their military experiences which may or may not affect their job quests. At the end, after looking at web sites and resume templates he asked to make one-on-one appts.. they all did.. I said I'd call him. Not to be cruel - he was a nice guy - but with that said I don't think he can help me.

He felt that expression somehow added the needed spark to his presentation.

Since I have been home and can hear my husband on his sales calls, I have told him he uses the word: AGAIN.... constantly. Now I have made him crazy as he is always catching himself doing it AGAIN.
