HA! Right? And today is MY LAST DAY!!!
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.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

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).

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Thats my point. He double spaces his affiliations, he lists his double major as two separate degrees, he indents the text two inches, and puts everything on a separate line, so that each entry is at least three lines. He has separate entries for each position, even if they were simultaneous. He has three separate sub headings "clinical training" "research training" and "administrative experience". I could get this sucker down to two pages easy.
It just makes me think he's a pompous ass. And I want to like him. This isn't helping.

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
Yeah, but you're way funnier than any of them, and a better writer.
I don't think they see value in that. I keep telling them my humor is wasted on them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It just makes me think he's a pompous ass.
That sounds about right. Or he went to some seminar about Preparing Your Academic Curriculum Vita that was not actually targeted to people at his level.

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.)
I know you've said this before, but I wanted to mention that I find this bloody brilliant. It hits the Yoinkees exactly where they live, in that even pre-Steinbrenner they were pathologically incapable of not paying too much for big-name players.
That wouldn't include trade deals though, would it?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have an expert report at my desk with a 46-page CV.
