"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Consuela's memory is mine. There also might've been some legal issues, though maybe I'm mixing him up with Michael Rappaport.

Wikipedia says of Max:

Former Homicide co-star Clark Johnson tells of how Perlich was a "wacky" guy, and was involved in a gun-related incident in front of his home in Baltimore over a parking spot.[7]

ita, I think it depends on how much recruiters are crazy in your industry and how much they would bug you? If you've got several you already know, that may be plenty. Also depends on how you do your linked in.

I am not connected to any recruiters, but my industry is pretty crazy with them, so I am all the time getting voicemails and emails and linked in requests and "in mails" or whatever linked in calls them...so if I decided I wanted to reach out, it's very easy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I've only been contacted by a head hunter once and that was back when I was doing something much less specialized. I'm happy with my company but sometimes I have dreams of moving to a new company and making more money.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I get emails from head hunters all the time, but it's pretty automated. All the ones that call I've put off.

I think I'm gonna just sit on the invite. No rush. I'm sure he has a million links. He'll never notice not having me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Maintenance guy at my old place used to come in all the time, without notifying me. Like once a month, seriously, to change a filter or inspect something. I knew he'd been there by the dirty footprints on the kitchen floor. I hated it.

My last Jonesboro apartment before the move to Memphis they wouldn't give me advance notice of needing in my apartment, and the maintenance guy would wait about 30 seconds after knocking before unlocking my door and letting himself in. Also, the timing was always early enough in the morning that I was sleeping or showering. I was not a happy camper.

I might need to take this course.

Me too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I won't lie--I've admitted myself into the hospital without telling my parents. But my headaches are perfectly routine, fuck it all. It

But that's not something new, that's just late weekend stuff for you. If you get admitted for something no one ever thought of, I am still going to say it's something you should think about letting people know. But admissions for migraines early Sunday are just what happens when they don't give you the right, called for, meds.

Oh, yes, I am strident about what needs to be disclosed. And recurring medical issues aren't one of them after initial disclosure unless you need the conversation topic. I've maybe used allergies that lead to creepy coughing that way. Still, if it's a new thing, I know I need to bring it up.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I had my fibroid surgery and didn't tell my mom. But then, she calls me in Connecticut to tell me that she's having heart palpitations, but is going to take the metro to the hospital and could I please call her in an hour and a half to make sure that she made it.

Yeah, we're fucked up.

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

Oh, there is definitely medical stuff I haven't told my parents.

But that's stuff I don't tell them, not stuff I wait to tell them until they happen to ask me how I am doing.
