That is sad, tommy. I've lost count how many times the Cap'n shredded my soft palate with that sweet & crunchy combination.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Who decided to fill Captain Crunch with flakes of glass, though?

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

Hail to thee, O Mighty Hivemind! I humbly pray for your assistance and hand-holding.
I'm working on my resume. I've been at the same company for 10 years, which means it's my whole resume. So I've broken out the major projects I worked on over the years, since that does actually show growth in responsibilities and knowledge and all those groovy things. Also, the place I'm going to apply to works in a similar field and they may well recognize some of the project names.
How much detail should I give about the projects and what I did on each? I don't mean confidential stuff, but I've started drafting it like this to see how it looks:
My Company -- 1997 to present
One or two sentences as an overview of how I'm awesome and these people should totally hire me.
The Current Project -- 2004 to 2007
- managed whatever task
- supported whatever other task
- co-wrote whatever
- more whatever
The Previous Project -- 2002 to 2004
- managed whatever task
...and so on.
Again, the place I'll be sending this to works in pretty much the same field. And based on the job posting, I want to show them that I've got experience multi-tasking and working on different aspects of long-term projects. My specific questions: Should I include a one-sentence desription of the project, like, "a survey of whatever among 5000 respondents nationwide"? Should I mention who the client was? Does arranging it this way make sense, or does anyone have a better idea?

Strega, I have seen resumes that are entirely skill focused and then mention jobs tangentially, which is how mine is.
So I talk about what I do in terms of curriculum, student support, parent involvement, staff development, then I talk about school.
Could you do something similar? What X skills do you have. Then do project with blurb about the project and specifics as they relate to that project.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
last night's TDS interview had what sounded like a fascinating book on the Glorious Revolution of 1688--I'll try and get that from the library this summer
That did sound really interesting. That was the part of the Baroque Cycle that was most intriguing to me, probably because it's an era I haven't studied. I should remind myself to read it somehow...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would say yes to the one-sentence description, and name the client if it's impressive, and/or you have relationships with people there. I mean, basically whatever makes you sound best, without overstating.

WTF? My DVR didn't record TDS or Colbert last night. Today is Thursday, right?

Yep--I still have one more day of work tomorrow, sadly enough.

My DVR said they were re-runs even though they were not. They should be on again at 8, right?
