You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think 10-15 years ago your resume should have been one page, but now you have 10-15 more years of stuff to put on it! I bet there's a lawyer consensus, but I don't know it.

Oh, I will be having a talk with him and taking another day off.

I certainly hope so!

Sara, what are you doing on this trip?

Familying. Going to visit my brother and co, then ferrying eldest nephew to my parents', stay a few days there, back via an overnight at my brother's.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

10-15 years ago, I was told that lawyers resumes should be one page, but that that didn't apply to other jobs.

Also, I don't like my cats this morning.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I would say the 1-2 pages is a good rule of thumb (for non academia), but if your experience warrants going into a third, I think that's fine. Just make sure that everything pushing it out is actually relevant and necessary. (Hint: do not list European cities you have visited.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am having such an attitude problem today. We`re here in Gallup to do a native youth conference, but yesterday was a total fail and we didn`t get set up or rehearse or anything. Both of us are sick; I suspect the SO has strep and there`s no immediate care center we can find. I think we`ll see some of our local buddies today so that will help, but right now I just can`t deal. They`ve declared a state of emergency here because of the number of suicides; 35 attempts in this county. 8 successful just in the little neighboring town here. I know it`s important work, this is what I do, there`s a group here from my home church in Kansas, and still. All I want to do is lie on my hotel bed (which we mistakenly booked as smoking, so that`s not all that awesome either.) and cough. C`mon, self, let`s get after it.

FTR, when you tell me "You look nice" when I am in an old tank top with bad bedhead, I know what you are really thinking. Boobies.

Liese, go feed yourself a green chile cheeseburger at Sonic. And a cherry limeade.

Maria, I've been remiss in wishing you mother well!

Ugh, Liese. That sounds hard. I hope it will be better when you're actually in the conference.

Brenda, I think I'm actually going to get the polish box in the mail to you today, FYI.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I hope your day gets better Liese. You are doing important work and I love hearing about it.

I am not feeling great, but nothing in particular. I just got up. Almost 10 hours of sleep? really? And I know I could go sleep more. Maybe an afternoon nap later. As for now, I think mac and I need to get dressed, get out of the house before afternoon rain, and get both food and errands taken care of.
