They may not remember, ita, since the untoasted state is anathema to true bageldom. And putting butter on it is adding insult to injury.
Not to mention that they're about three thousand miles away from any actual bagels.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want chewy bread with just a hint of butter on it. They? Slather butter on with the same zeal as they do cream cheese.
Good bread (which includes bagels) is enjoyable virgin--untoasted and uncovered. I want the butter so I can have a hint of salt (that is the scale of my salt craving) and a bit of fat to tell my stomach it's actually had food.
Every day, same battle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I want a salt bagel. Toasted with cream cheese.

Because books.
Now I want a bagel. And even in upstate New York it's hard to find a true one.
Toasted with butter, please. And not too much.

Spinach bagel toasted with either provolone or a THIN slather of fresh veggie cream cheese.

I had homemade butter made by some Amish ladies at a farmers market the other day. OMG so good, but I couldn't really justify buying a two-pound blob of the stuff, which is how they were selling it.

Because books.
Two pounds of butter would go like *that* in my house.
I agree that good, especially homemade, bread is delicious in its virgin state, but some days bread is simply a vehicle for butter consumption.
I think today is one of those days. I need to try Irish butter.

Vortex, I think that it can be interchangeable, but I tend to think of a CV (in academia) being much longer and more comprehensive than a resume--a CV would list most if not all articles you've published, things like that, and might have less about actual duties in jobs (more just "professor of medicine, U of X, 1996-present, maybe some comittees or something), whereas a resume would be shorter, the highlights version, and probably have more about what the jobs actually involved.
But I could be wrong, this is just based on what all the freakin' doctors from academic places send when they sent their CVs. Which can be bloody annoying when it's 75 pages long.
