I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Alright, the agencies are annoying me. They keep sending me to law firms I DO NOT WANT (they are either too small or too far away. d'oh!). I"ve got a list of places I want to contact personally and have pulled up their websites. How does the following look for an e-cover letter? And how can I mention that I have a letter of reference from my last employer?

What is even happening?

billytea, I think I found my new tagline from that link.

A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

Billytea, that was a great article. I had to commemorate it with a new tagline.

Heh, Cindy, that article could be mined for a heck of a lot of taglines.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hah! A fine choice.

That one made me wonder if this was really an Andy Rooney piece, Sail, but I love it anyhow.

Because books.

I am proficient with a variety of software and pick up new programs and procedures readily.

After this line, I would simply something like, "References are available on request."

A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

Heh.

Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage... ~Andy Roony

Of course, any such mention of sausage reminds me of the comedic subtlety of 'Allo 'Allo.

Alas, I know not this 'Allo, 'Allo. I'm sure it's quite fun because it sounds quite British.

Thanks, AmyLiz.

Now, what the heck do I put in the subject line?
