Man. Sometimes my job makes me feel dumb. I'm constantly surrounded by PhDs, some rock star PhDs, and just general smarty pantses.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

How is it that we've worked down the street from each other all year and not met for lunch once? We are so very lame.
HA! Right? And today is MY LAST DAY!!!

I personally put curses on two different baseball teams and both of them took.

Yeah, but you're way funnier than any of them, and a better writer.

Nope. I cursed the Dodgers so that they wouldn't appear in the World Series in the nineties. And I cursed the Yankees such that anybody who joined the team as a free agent wouldn't win a World Series with them. (This was after Clemens but before Giambi.)

(6 pages doesn't particularly ping me -- if it's an academic CV -- just because expectations in different fields are so different when it comes to how much stuff you get to put your name on. But for a resume, it's completely cracktastic.)
it's a CV, so I expect more than a page or two. but, he doesn't even have his MASTER'S yet.

Figures, doesn't it? We'll have to meet up for lunch in the Valley or up in Pasadena some time this summer to make up for our lameness.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Wait a minute -- how does he manage six pages? Did he have a career before going to grad school?
Because I can't think of any legit way for your average 23-year-old to have a six page CV. I'm 20 years out of school and can barely manage two.

I thought the Royals might have been one of the cursed team. Though, hey, they aren't the worst team in baseball this year, so things are looking up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I can usually judge pretty quickly whether I can get my carry-on into the overhead or not (the answer is usually "not"), so I'll usually just look around quickly, find a tall-looking person, and ask for help.

Absolutely. Though I'm teaching a summer writing program in Koreatown for 4 weeks (but only 4 days a week).
