FUNCTION FIRST PEOPLE!!
Philistine. Don't you know that people must contort themselves to meet the demands of Art? Why else are there so many stupid shoes in the world?
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

or the stairs in this building. I swear, they are not square. Imagine the stairwell a parallelagram. If you walk straight down the center of the stairs, by the time you try to hit bottom, you are in the wall. Oh, and the walls are curved too (floor to ceiling). So everything is skewed. AND the treads are tiny. I have size 8 1/2 shoes. not big for a guy. HALF my foot fits on the damn treads. :: shakes fist @ FLW ::

See, I want to use it to mean "every other month". Which I suppose I could say, but I used "every other week" a few sentences before.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Every two months, when I read it. Unless it's implied to be other and then I have to stop and think and wonder.

okay. Now a resume question. I'm updating my resume to include "professional affiliations and committees" because I was just asked to be on an alumni advisory committee at my undergrad. I have it in this order:
Honors Advisory Committee, Current University (Chair)
Middle States Accreditation Self-Study Committee, Current University
Alumni Diversity Advisory Committee, Alumni University
Basically, the question is, should I list outside or inside stuff first?

Okay, we all know that there's correct grammar, and what people do anyway. When you see "bimonthly", do you think (or do you think people think) "every two months" or "twice a month"?

omnis, hope you're all right. Take care of yourself!thanks Toddson. Ya, I'm ok. Just muddied. Thankfully it was black gunk on black pants. SOOooo glad I didn't wear the khaki's today. But I am leaving shortly. Head has a lil tingle in the strike zone. But looks like no concussion. (I've had about 12 of those from falls as a kid, I know the symptoms all too well).

Goodness, omnis. I hope you didn't take any serious damage from that.
I've started learning how to handle PowerPoint at work, to back up the person who does most of it. It's amazing how much people want to cram into each slide. Bullet points people! If your paragraph looks like Faulker had a hand in it you should probably do some editing. And then they read it aloud, word for word. Why not just turn it into a Word file, email it to all concerned, and save everyone the meeting?

should I list outside or inside stuff first?
I'm not sure what that means, but I think you've got it right. Current job related stuff first, past job or other association following.
