Has anyone heard about the planted reporter in the White House Press?

This is just so.....Bush administration.

I remember the "divorced from reality" question in Bush's last press conference and actually thought. "Hey, that guy has to be a plant" and sure enough.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Has anyone heard about the planted reporter in the White House Press?

Yeah, we talked about it. Maybe it was in Bitches. Anyway, did you know there's a gay military fetish porn connection?

I can't say that I did.

Another one? There've been plenty. You'd think, with Fox News, they wouldn't need pets.

Real North Korea news.

Dear people I send reumes to:

I know it is not required, but acknowledging receipt of said email would be nice.

Thanks - me.

I resolve that should I get a position that involves the intake of resumes, I will try to implement a system of acknowledging receipt of all resumes within a week.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Speaking of Fox News, you gotta love this job title:

FOX News Channel, a fast-paced 24-hour television news operation in New York City, is seeking a Fact Writer for its information center.

Responsibilities include writing on-air facts and press conference quotes for daytime programming.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

that's what that whole "princess consort" thing is about, isn't it?

No, not really. If she doesn't take on titles of sufficient royalty, he would lose his own standing as HRH. Which is why Princess Margaret nagged Anthony Armstrong-Jones into accepting a lordship before they married so she could stay a princess and their children would be royal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

msbelle, if it's any consolation (probably not) of the 200 or more resumes I sent off in my last job hunt, I got maybe 5 or so acknowledgements of receipt.

Seattle Times:

When Charles becomes king, she will not be known as Queen Camilla but as the princess consort, Charles' office said.

yeah, I know. In my first job search out of college, I kept a hardcopy file of everything. In the end, I had sent out over 1000 resumes and heard back from maybe 15-20.

In this case, one of the resumes was sent to a personal contact and not an HR person, so I had expected an email back saying, "got it". anyway, I'll wait a full week before following up.
