I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

argh! I hate thesaurus.com. Newsflash: a word cannot be a synonym of itself!!!

Anyway, I'm looking for a word besides experience, because I've already used it. The sentence is essenitally, "My various work experiences are particularly relevant because . . ."

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

Whew, Laura! That's great!

I am so relieved. Thank you all so much for calming me while I tried to draft something that would work. The sibs were betting against it.

What time was Erin having her surgery? I think I have her cell phone number at home...

That's awesome Laura! Yay, what a relief.

I got a shipment of office supplies! Wheeee!! I am trying not to rip open all the pens just to test them out. :)

Vortex, um...I'm hoping by the time I post this someone will have come up with a good synonym.

Though I have somewhere a great sheet full of work/resume appropriate synonyms somewhere I can scan and send if you want...

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

I'm so glad they both took it well, Laura!

Background, Vortex?
