Hey, anybody interested in perusing my resume?

I'm interested in hearing about its readability, any editing needs, etc.

Much obliged in advance.

Oh gawd, Brenda. Yeesh.

I had my phone interview--luckily, sounds like they're very aware the job description (years of experience) is whack, so that's good. The pay thing came up, and apparently that's ALSO whack, but they're also aware of that, so hopefully something could be worked out. Sounds like a second phone (or possibly in-person) interview may be in my future. Fingers crossed.

Big-time jobma for brenda--I hope it's not as ominous as it sounds!!

Appendages overlapped meara. Good luck with them getting wise and giving you what you need.

An excellent interview with Rachel Maddow.

Love this:

During the week she stays in their tiny tenement apartment - the size of a van, she says - in the West Village. She's lived there for four years and is rather proud of the fact that she's yet to use the oven, which she uses as a makeshift bookshelf instead.

I'm not worried about me, not in a layoff sense anyway. But obviously there's something going down, and in these times it's probably unlikely to be a new policy of puppies and cupcakes on alternate Wednesdays.

But if that happens I'll totally let you all know.

ugh brenda, your intuition sounds pretty on target. I hope it isn't too stressful, whatever is going down.

Car has been returned to me by the garage. Yay! Now I can go pick up the kids. I just hope the roof stays put.

I had an interview with the contract placement firm -- the guy was hopeful of finding me Notes work, but I want to get some .NET experience! I so very KNOW I can do that well, but I have to get somebody to let me do it, you know?

I gave up climbing on the roof about 10 years ago, when I found I was getting increasingly terrified by the transition from ladder to roof and back. I'm perfectly fine *on* the roof.

Very sensible I wandered into a grief support group online in my early days amongst the interpipe and a surprisingly large number of accidental deaths were from falling off the roof or ladder.

I love the idea of a workplace where every alternate Wednesday the staff gathers and they serve cupcakes and release puppies into the conference room. Sort of puppy bowl + cupcakes.

The puppies would be magical non-allergic, non-peeing and non-pooping puppies, and the cupcakes would be incredible.
