Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In a "Job Wanted" ad for an executive asst, what might you list as your software skills? I'm trying to update one that says "Five years experience. Word and Works."

All of Office, for sure, if applicable. Any other email/scheduling type things, like Groupwise or whatever. If it's true.

Kids. They have complicated feelings and they don't know what to do with them.

At least he's old enough to figure out and articulate what they are, eventually...?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

She is... she just knows him so well, so thoroughly, knows how to let him get to a place where he can calm down and articulate his feelings.

megan, you might want to add Outlook and PowerPoint if applicable.

It's a fake add. I just want to put what would be most likely.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'd go with something like "Microsoft Office suite". Lotus or Works etc. if you actually use them.

I'd probably just go look on some place that has ads and borrow what they use, if it's a fake ad, Megan.

I mean, depending on what it's going to be used for. Maybe reword it, if it's going to be used for some kind of presentation and I don't want people to be all "OMG, PLAGARIZER!!1ELEVETY!"

OK, for a fake ad, I would definitely say "expert in Microsoft Office, experienced in Lotus Notes and GroupWise."

I would probably say that in a real ad, actually, since I have seen all of those programs.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

God, this is a sucky day!

Except for HappyBirdayBoy, Dylan!

I have a sister in Des Moines, a sister and brother + family in Cedar Rapids and 2 sisters in the Quad Cities! I am beside myself about what is happening up there in Iowa!

And if that wasn't enough gloom for me today, Tim Russert dies and I fell like I've lost a friend!

I need a hug!

Well, it will be reworded--into French--so I'm not too worried about OMGWTFP!

ETA: Thanks everyone!

I heard that the Cedar River has crested and has started to go down. So, that's one thing.

Thanks, sumi. The whole town is on severe water restrictions and there is great concern that some of the electric grid will be down for weeks! It is just like Katrina only more personal to me.
