[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Guys, do you think most of is would have achieved what we have without B.org? Speaking for myself, I know not.

Abso-fucking-lutely not. Says the girl sitting in her Buffista neighbors' house, doing laundry, and working on her resume with the help of another Buffista.

And speaking of help, I'm looking for a couple of Mac and PC users to cast an eye on my resume - Erin has been an absolute boon helping me tweak it AND remain sane(ish), but on the latest (and I hope final) version the text box is blank when I open it in Pages or Open Office. Erin says it shows up fine for her in Doc and RTF. Anyone willing to look?

Insent, Vortex! Are you Mac or PC?

Our wings are not tired.

Smonster, a good thing anyway to do would be save your CV as a PDF for use in sending to people. That way you won't need to be concerned with text or formatting not working with their Word versions.

I'm on a mac, feel free to send (I have an older version of word, so that'll be a challenge too! :)

And I would agree with java that PDF is probably best.

Although some places demand other formats. I think my office's HR people use to ask for rich text format for some reason. Still, if it's not specified, pdf's probably a very good choice.

Trust my rage

You know, I was just talking to my therapist the other day about my limited internal definition of "normal" (or maybe "okay for me" is a better term) and I was telling her about all the "friends" (okay, buffistas), who have opened my eyes to all these different ways to live and be happy.

Honestly, I think that is the board's greatest gift to me - the realization that there are many ways to be "okay".

Thrive to spite them

I definitely wouldn't have.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I know for darn certain I wouldn't have.

Massive gleeful riotous happy birthday to you, Tep! The forties welcome you with great pleasure. I've lived here for almost three years now, and it's a much niftier neighborhood than you would have thought in your twenties. A tiny bit shabbier and more run-down than might be absolutely optimal, but with its own funky charm.
