Ginger, I'm so sorry. This is unbelievable (and one of the core reasons I don't wish to reproduce [I like the idea of adopting, though] - cancer has its claim in my family's DNA and I don't want to risk and pass it on). My best ~mas to you and your family as you're going through these hideous times.
~ma to Laura's mom, too.
We'd have to make the font size very big.
Speaking of which. Researcher's husband called me yon morning to tell me he can't find the book. And then he heard about the fine, said he'll be looking for it. Then I saw his email to his wife, big, bold, red font mentioning the fine and begging for instructions. It's sort of amusing.
Also, I'd like to see an example of English resume myself, if anyone wouldn't mind sending my his/her own. I had to translate mine for a really cool scholarship - a semester abroad (which I didn't get because THEY CANCELED THE PROGRAM just after I got the guts to ask from a Really Distinguished Professor a recommendation - and OMG, he wrote such pretty words about me that it motivated me for days!), and I want to see how well I did it, compered to others (Seska checked it for me English-wise, but I never seen a serious example of a resume in English). And I'll take that opportunity to thank again Rick and Una for providing me "I know her, and she knows English" letters.
And now, a bit more internet, and then, diving into Wordpress issues. Since, um, if a certain person of my team will feel better today, there's a certain meeting tomorrow to start and lunch Hollaback Israel site.
Shir, do they want a resume, or a CV?
A resume, here in the US, is usually used more for job-getting purposes, and a CV is more in academia, and tends to be more thorough and focus on your academic credentials and list things like your research papers and places you've presented and stuff like that. They can be VERY different (even just the setup, if you don't have much in the way of jobs/academic credentials)
I see. We use the same word in Hebrew.
A CV, then, could be problematic at this point. I don't have a B.A. yet, not to mention published papers.
In Australia, the terms are often used interchangeably these days. I can send you my resume if you wish. It doesn't include my current job, being the resume I used to land said current job.
That would be great, bt. Thank you very much. My profile addy is good.
How are you and Wallaby?
To make up for my link before: a mostly photographed post (the non-photographed part is in Hebrew) on some very cute creatures on South Georgia Island, who turned an abandoned ship into a gymboree. [link]

I'm pretty good, bit of a cold. Wallybee rocks. Ryan is completely awesome, and I discovered this morning that he understands "Where are the penguins?" in Chinese. My son!

Nice pics. I was hoping for ducks too. (SGI is home to the world's only carnivorous duck, the South Georgia pintail.)

This is truly something to celebrate. I don't know how to say this in Chinese!
Oh, Pix and ND, you got the chocolates - great!
