Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is there a position that requires "Must have done X at last position"?

Vise-Grip Tales

Last year, vise-grip manufacturer Irwin held a contest called "Tell Us Your Vise-Grip Story" where people share their personal experience of using the tool. They’ve chosen 3 finalists, one of which is this one by Bryan from Chesapeake, VA:

As a US Navy spine surgeon, I routinely deal with dozens of different types of screws, rods and bolts that have been implanted into the spine. Each manufacturer has their own unique tools to insert and remove their specific hardware. While deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I did not have access to these specialized tools. I did however have some Vise-Grips that could be sterilized and used to emergently remove the screws and rods from this infected solider’s spine.

Damn. Cool yet disturbing.

Our wings are not tired.

ita, sounds like a functional resume as opposed to a chronological one might be the answer. That is, if you really wanted the job. I get so sad when I think of you moving back to Jamaica, even though I've never met you face-to-face. I know that makes me silly.

Cashmere, I didn't know your mother was a compulsive gambler. Runs in my family and it sucks. I'm sorry hon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The recruiter called back and asked for an introductory note asking for my experience in the fields required. I find a lot of these recruiters want me to parrot the language in the job req. I hate to think I'm being too naive thinking that people looking to hire actually read resumes--I know I did, and my experience is really clearly and extensively laid out. 3/4 of the resume talks about what the recruiter's interested in--just not all up front. Still, on the first page.

I'm not calling you silly! I don't want to go back either.

DH's flight home has been cancelled and Owen got off the bus feeling sick.

I didn't buy enough chocolate.

Oh, Cash, this is all just no good!

DH just called. He's going to try to book a different flight. If he can't, he'll rent a car in Chicago and drive home. Stupid weather. Stupid airlines.
