I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

For people who don't use the serial comma:

Are there times when you do use it? If so, when?

megan, the publication I work for uses AP Style, which means generally no serial commas. However, we do occasionally use it if it would significantly clarify the meaning of the sentence or make it easier to read. I see it most often when one or more items in a series are long or complex phrases.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Is Words with Friends being pissy for other people?

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

It's working alright for me! But it is rather pissy from time to time.

It's like it wants me to do my work or something.

I got my laptimer in the post today! Of course, not sure if I'll get a chance to use it. Thundering off the the south.

Also got the slipcover. Tumbling the wrinkles out of it now.

Turns out my dentist appt isn't until Weds. Which, good thing I double checked that.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Quick question: Career fair for one specific company tomorrow, and I know I need multiple copies of my resume. Does it need to be printed on good paper stock, or is that over and done with now?

(I haven't handed anyone a paper resume in YEARS.)
