[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.

I read "detail oriented" and I realize that is not me. I've got to work on changing that, I'm not sure how.

You know what, I think everything says detail-oriented these days, and everyone says they are in an interview or cover letter. It's become one of those catch-phrases for "not a fuck-up." I mean, can you imagine the reaction if you said "I'm not really very detail oriented"?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Connie, all I got out of the preview is that it'll be shocking. We won't believe it. Whatever it is.

Oh, and House is becoming a junkie, but I thought we already covered that.

Right, because what you're supposed to say is "I'm a big picture kind of person"

Yeah, no news about House there.

I get the Wilson/House OTP now, though.

Hey. New board.

All this House talk makes me happy because GG and I discovered that it is a great show for us. We're 5 (or 6?) episodes into the first season, and loving it.

Now I REALLY want somebody to write that Buffy/House fic with Dawn at the hospital that somebody (DCJ?) suggested, though.

Also, hi! I'm still reading! Just not writing! Need my new computer.

For another view of the resume question, I just got this from my sis (hivebrain!):

So one of my busy work jobs that I’m doing today is sending out rejection letters to people that applied for the Marketing Manager position. The title makes the job sound really important, but it's more to sell the title since they can’t compensate anyone in a reasonable way. I should be a rejection manager dammit. They can at least give me that for $9 an hour. ANYWAY- the point is….i’m starting to feel really good about my own resume after reading through the absolutely RETARDED ONES that people actually send in. Seriously, it makes me sad. One that I just read had an “Extracurricular Activities” section before ANY kind of education or anything and it said:

“Extracurricular Activites: Chatting, writing, Watching TV, and cooking/eating, and bead work”

WHAT?!??!!?! Who writes that on their freaking resume??????

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Other Extracurricular Activites: Chewing/swallowing, maintenance of somatic functions, blinking, bathing, wearing shoes (demonstrated mastery of both laces and Velcro closures).

My hobbies include Random capitalizations and writing meandeering Lists which I don't bother to spellchcek. I am good at brown-nosing, sucking up, and pretending I know what you're talking about even when I don't.
