Short and squat is actually an excellent baseball physique.
Dude, my unlikely-to-ever-exist sprog is already promised to the sabre gods. Don't go tempting hir with yer talk of big-money sports!
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

Shoot, if your sprogling is left-handed they're practically halfway to a million dollar contract.

Hmm.... I think I have one left-handed second cousin, and Hub has no lefty family that I know of. So wrestling it is! (especially if it gets to wear the spiffy Mexican-style mask.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm 5'2". That's short.(Or petite, if I want to be more elegant about it) I come from a long line of short people, as my mom says.

Mostly lurking...
ita, I just got this e-mail from my mom about PMI:
I am a member of PMI. They are the organization that sponsors the PMP exam and has pretty much set the standard in project management.
There are several reasons to join.
1. It is a well respected professional organization. It is a quality organization and the MassBay chapter which meets in Burlington is very good and quite active. Their monthly meetings are quite good. They bring in speakers from around the country.
2. Members get discounts on some classes and a reduced cost for taking the exam.
3. Once you pass the exam, you are required to accumulate 60 PDUs (like continuing education credits) every three years in order to keep your certification. If you let that lapse, you have to retake the exam. And anyone who has taken it once knows he doesn’t want to take it again! You can get 1 PDU for each chapter event you attend and those are at a reduced rate for members. So you can get up to half of your PDUs by attending chapter meetings.
4. It is a good place to network.
5. The MassBay chapter has a job referral program. PMI also has a place where you can post your resume.
Hope this helps. PMI and WITI (Women In Technology International) are the two professional organizations I have chosen to be active in.

Thanks, vw. I'm appalled at the effort facing me, but it's possible that's just the migraine talking. I have no idea if I'd ever use the other PMI benefits than the discounts, but those look worth it right there.
