Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
the child is mad at me and so what does he decide to do? sit in the chair next to mine stewing. healthy, no?
YES!
He's mad at you AND he trusts you. Your being an utterly tyrannical bastard who makes him wash dishes, himself, and eat food notwithstanding. :)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There were about 30 kids at the party. That's a lot, right? Because I'm totally blown away and worn out.
30 is a ton of kids! Holy crap.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, that's a whole lot.

That is a ridiculous number of kids, Kat.
Me, it's been A WEEK. So I basically took today off. Slept late, lazed around reading fic this morning, went for a long run with the dog, and have farted about the house doing laundry and baking banana bread. Nothing productive at all, really.
But here's a question: should a resume be written in 1st person? Like, "I did x and I did that"? Because a former coworker, a tech editor, edited my resume that way and it just looks weird to me. Is that the thing now?

That's a lot of kids for classroom with directed activities and rules. You had a PARTY and sugared the shit out of them. I'm shocked you're able to form words.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I've seen both ways on resumes, but the first person thing still strikes me as a little odd. Especially since what I hear these days is that you've got to hit the keywords for a position description, so why waste space on pronouns? The things you're applying for might be so specialized that that's not a concern, though.

ita, you weren't the first with the WRONG comment (it's a dairy, not a meat producer.) I was just waiting for my friend down the block to comment on my fb post and sure enough, he did. And his wife pointed out he wanted to name her rabbit Stu. He is a big tough republican lawyer who posts feminist and pro-gay marriage stuff and will unapologetically wear a tiara on his bald head for princess tea parties with his daughter and her friends while we drink wine on the porch. And let us share the photographic proof. I like Erik.

Yeah, 30 kids was a lot. 30 kids with 8 lanes of bowling and heavy balls and an inability to understand the concept of turn taking was overwhelming.
But, I teach 50+ kids in most of my periods for 7 periods a day. Shouldn't I be immune to that? Granted, 17 year olds are way less energy then 6 year olds with bowling balls.
