Or do I wait until he gets the gig (if), and talk with him then.

This. Or, if he doesn't get the job and you're feeling kindly, THEN drop him a note. But the interim period (now) is a little weird.

Question for the hivemind. I have this resume for a kid (college graduate in a few months) who could make a great apprentice next season. The dude has a 4 page resume. Do I mention that in the return e-mail? Saying, "dumbass! condense! stop repeating info over and over and over! I get that you jobbed in for the local IATSE"? Or do I wait until he gets the gig (if), and talk with him then.

who makes the decision about if he gets the job? Either way, my legal mind is saying stay out of it until he gets the job. I have had the same problem with students, it's like "sweetie, you're a first year graduate student, there is no need for your resume to be longer than mine"

There needs to be a superhero who helps fix resume fiascoes....

Deena, insent.

Speaking of superheroes, this was cute:

Thai 'Spider-Man' Saves Boy in Peril

An everyday hero became a superhero to save a boy in distress Monday.

Rescue workers got the call when an 8-year-old autistic boy had crawled out onto a third-floor ledge at a Bangkok special needs school, AFP reported. The boy was scared because it was his first day at the school, police said.

Thai firefighter Somchai Yoosabai became a super hero to an 8-year-old Thai boy Monday when he dressed up as Spider-Man to coax the boy from a third-floor building ledge. The boy, who has autism, had crawled out the window because he was scared during his first day at a Bangkok special needs school.

After the boy's mother mentioned that the child loved superheroes, firefighter Somchai Yoosabai hustled to his fire station and donned a Spider-Man costume that he kept to wear during school fire drills.

"I told him Spider-Man is here to rescue you, no monsters are going to attack you and I told him to walk slowly towards me as running could be dangerous," Somchai said. The boy then stood and let Sonchai carry him in, AFP reported.

Question for spouses: I'm doing the taxes, and I just signed for Hubby so I can get it mailed off today. As I forged his signature, I wondered how many wives/SOs routinely sign for their husbands/other SOs.

Is spousal forgery one of the unspoken perks of partnership?

Is spousal forgery one of the unspoken perks of partnership?

I've always thought so.

Maybe it's just because my parents have always done that.

My mother is a scary-good forger, from her title-company days. Like, literally, it's good she's honest. That's why that West Wing where the one secretary can sign Bartlet's name makes me laugh.

resume fiascoes....

I had to tell my little brother a few years back that he really shouldn't include "served as jury foreman on a high-profile murder case" and "held up at gunpoint" on his resume. He was applying for a job with the company I work for so fortunately he sent it to me first. HeadDesk.
