I have had a terrible morning. Totally death by a thousand ducks. I would like a redo.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I would like a redo.
I could try to reverse the rotation of the Earth. In the Superman movie that reversed time. Of course, with real physics it would just cause massive destruction due to rotational momentum, but you'd probably forget about the morning.

Love discovering something that got missed in testing. I had a feeling this would happen.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
with the empty office I decided to try and deal with some Dr. appts I need to schedule. It is such a toss up which is more frustrating - my insane-o work or trying to do medical stuff. I was on the phone for well over half an hour with 3 offices and I only managed one appt thus far.

Because books.
Calling the smart hivemind: Is there a difference between a CV and a resume?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think CV is more academic, so I'd be expecting a zillion pages of publications, etc.
Resume is a normal work history/highlights deal. In my head, at least.
Federal government websites are trying to kill me again. After I got the one help desk person who seemed to have the actual answers!

Hmmm. Thanks, Jesse.

Amy, I believe a CV lists EVERYTHING EVER, including publications, committees, speaking engagements, etc.
My own hivemind question-
Is grey a weird color for a really weird costume version of a private school jacket? Could some wear gray and others navy or black? I am looking at this to modify
Or does anyone have any idea where to get that type of patch?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My old firm Morgan Lewis laid off lots of people yesterday.
They're taking a novel approach to their incoming classes:
**********
Law firm Morgan Lewis & Bockius will not have a first-year class of lawyers starting in fall 2009 and has informed its incoming summer interns they will not receive full-time jobs until 2011. The firm announced this shortly after it announced it would be laying off 55 lawyers and 161 support staff Monday afternoon.
In a memo to 2009 summer interns, Philadelphia-based Morgan Lewis said it has decided to defer the start date for incoming entry-level lawyers until October 2010. Those first-year lawyers would normally start in October 2009 after graduating in May and taking the state bar exam.
The firm said it will offer each affected new associate the chance to work in a public interest organization for that year and will pay each a $5,000 monthly stipend. The firm could save $85,000 in salary per associate and possibly more if the firm does not offer benefits.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It all comes back to health care.
