Scrappy (or anyone else who cares to have a look), as an HR person, what do you think of this? [link]
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not bad. I really agree on the "objective" comment, ESPECIALLY since the objective is usually "To get[the job I am applying for right now]." Duh.
The whole show don't tell thing is very good, but don't think the person reading your resume is a dope and use that to lie. If your job was as a server at IHOP, describing accomplishments like "managed meal delivery" is just a waste of paper.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Puh-lease. Everyone knows it's "managed just-in-time logistics for meal delivery" anyway.

Very important question! Why are people playing Words with Friends instead of Lexulous for fake Scrabble?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't even know about "cancous joshing." "Canerous" maybe? "Rancorous"?
Cankerous?

Lisah--because people told me to! Is lexulous available for my phone?

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

Possibly? I haven't tried to find it for my droidy phone but I have it on my iTouch. I like the interface better on lexulous and it tells you how many points a word is before you play it which means no math! (Words w/ friends may also do this but i haven't figured it out.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't articulate why I like words with friends more. Feels more like scrabble.

5. “Problem-solving skills”
6. “Detail-oriented”
They're right about those being fairly meaningless filler that everyone claims. But I think they're ignoring the fact that they're also something that every HR department claims is required for any and every position. So I think leaving them out could be risky.
