Sounds like a lot of Bitches could use a fastforward through today to the part where we sit on the couch and celebrate that it is over.

Weird day at work here because one of the big names in the field passed away over the weekend, quite suddenly. Some people here worked with him in the past, because he was in D.C. The chain of events that lead to his passing was started by a fall he took in his driveway when he tripped on a crab apple.

Be careful out there!

That should absolutely be something they tell you upfront, that changes have to be in by 5pm or something.

And I wouldn't mind that. It's the turning off the fax machine that pisses me off. That's so passive aggressive. This is the woman who always bitches and whines that she doesn't have any help and her job is so hard, etc. etc.

That seems like a very bad business practice.

Does anyone know of a good resume template I could use? I got my resume off my old computer and it looks kinda bad.

He tripped on a crab apple and died, eventually? Please tell me he was like, eighty years old.

my reception is crappy and the Tivo won't work off antenna. Not on!

Not on at all! I have one box going straight to my temporary housing, rather than the storage facility. It's my TiVo.

Meanwhile, I am ensconced at a friend's house this morning. No idea where she keep her towels (...not in the linen closet in the bathroom, apparently, and I'm loathe to look further), so I am futzing around on the internet until she gets back from the gym (crazy girl goes to the gym to sweat out a hangover. I have coffee. She may win, but I'm happier in the short term...)

Ok. Typed up a post, and the Internet ate it.

Askye, I love my resume's template, and I'd be happy to send it to you so you could just plug your info in.

And the rest of what I posted will have to wait, as I'm now off to get another tutoring student.

vw - me too, me too. I need to create a resume...haven't had one in over 15 years.

vw please do! and thank you.

Vortex, I really feel for you working at a college/university. On the other hand, it makes me laugh and laugh that a) universities seem to be the same everywhere and b) you haven't yet gotten to the point where you expect the catering office to do something like that.

My cousin had her baby boy a few days ago. I just found out that they named him Attila. Am I the only one that thinks that's a terrible name? It's like naming him Adolph! (One possible reason - his dad is Hungarian, but they are planning on living most of their lives here.)

I just found out that they named him Attila.

Poor child. A lifetime as "the Hun."
