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.

When I was first out of college and my resume was pretty lean, I was thisclose to putting down "always volunteers to sit in the emergency exit row on airplanes."

(Of course, I like those seats because of the leg room, not the altruism, but -- resume fodder.)

I love the way you're using food to get the ladies' attention.

Ya go with your strengths ;)

I wish this were my job! It's more a one-day escape from my job.

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.

It makes me laugh because Margaret is hilarious. As is Leo. Hands down, one of favourite WW scenes.

Ya go with your strengths ;)

Which is apparently also the motto of GC's brother.

So I've been asked to be on a panel at the AMWA regional conference, so I need to write a bio. All the bios I see in last year's program are deathly boring and read like mini-CVs because they're all older and more experienced than I am and have lots of credentials and publications to brag about. Of course, even when I get to that point, I won't be able to write one of those because even my boss knows that's not how I roll. How's this?

Polter-Cow, MS is officially a Drug Safety Associate but self-identifies as a Medical Writer, Drug Safety at EthicalMedical.net, where he began his medical writing career three years ago. Before landing his first real job, he sharpened his skills by writing science articles for the Michigan Daily while finishing his Master's thesis in pharmacology at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Before leaving a prestigious doctoral program for the real world, he studied biochemistry and English at Rice University. You may remember him as the writer/director/producer of and actor in The Wrikado. As far as you know from creative readings, he loves Gilbert and Sullivan and murder. He watches more TV than you.

Gronklies. Teaching today was way too tiring. I was teaching about calculus on parametric equations, and I expected to just do a quick review of parametric equations and then jump into the calculus part, but then I asked the class who had studied parametric equations before, and only about a third of them had, so I had to teach parametric equations from the beginning, and didn't get to any of the calculus parts.

Also, I must stop reading comment threads about Rihanna and Chris Brown. There are way too many people out there who seriously believe that, if Person A hits Person B, then Person B is not only morally but legally justified in beating Person A to a bloody pulp. It's getting way too disheartening to read this.

Charm ( ) good looks ( ) food to share (√)

Hey, I'd add at least one V there. How else would I participate in an online foursome, or an online furniture porn teasing?

(Oh, and tell Fluffy my love)

Night, people-I'm-fond-of.

Sometimes I wonder about the head of our theater. He's got a couple tickets to a lecture next week with Ken Burns talking about the history of documentaries. The reason why he is giving away the tickets? Apparently Britney Spears is in town, and he has to go see that show! He also is in lovelovelove with American Idol. Certainly makes me laugh.

That, too, billytea. But around my mother's office, it would be odd for that skill to stop with one admin. West Wing was good. I'm sorry I saw one boring one and let it decide that I wouldn't watch it when everyone else was.
