Year ago an employer who asked me for personal references told me "I don't want to hire anyone who can't find three people willing to lie for them."
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

ita, Allyson totally needs to be your personal reference. Do it.

Oh, I would do it too--and it's totally as you said. You gathered requirements from a diverse and voluble group of users, did the technical work along with a geographically scattered group of volunteers, produced a highly functional, graphically pleasing, and resilient product on an incredibly tight donation-based budget, and continue to provide user support for years afterward. I see EVERY reason why that is applicable.

Because books.
Were these personal references or specifically work-personal references, ita? Because if it's just personal, Allyson or any number of people would work.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Seriously, meara writes all my job applications from now on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Work-personal, Amy.
I just told the first person here outside of the actual hiring process that I've been offered a position. It was scary. But cool.
meara, dude! You should have been writing my resume this whole time...
Actually, I'm still using a mass Buffista-written cover letter. Power of the internets.

Sure, if you drive to Wenatchee tomorrow while I do it! Road trip!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
About how much should I expect to pay a moving company for a move from DC to central PA? I'm getting some estimates from moving companies, but I want to know a ballpark figure of what to expect.

from wayyyyyy back.. Birth certificate or valid passport are what count for proof of citizenship. But it has to be the original BC with seal or a certified copy.
mac had a fit with grandma today and "ran away" to the neighbor's curb. But then tried to escape the car and tore up a book. le sigh. We had first therapy with new lady and she is not as engaging as old lady, but I think that will be good for developing mac to more age appropriate expression and play.
