Sue - I'd say include the work experience and not the other stuff. Are the gaps fudgable by extending some of the relevent projects? Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about the gaps. But then again, I haven't applied for a job in ages...
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
msbelle is very wise, Consuela. It's a really good idea to detach as quickly and completely as you can. Knowing they are going to let you go without a backward thought, and that when they are sinking in the pilotless mire of their own making, they won't even make the connection that it was you who kept them on course, your employers don't deserve another thought. Your clients will have to manage without you, too, and that is not your fault.
Your focus has to shift to you, and your future, which no longer includes this job. Let go as soon and as well as you can and look forward, not back.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
FWIW, different field, different country, etc., but hardly anyone has asked me about the really quite large gaps in my resume. If there's an option for a cover letter, maybe mention that you included only relevant experience for the sake of efficiency?

Consuela,
the only note I would make is if you think maintaining these relationships may help you land another job. You might need to pick and choose one to further communicate with if that is the case.

Have a phone meeting at 3. Did research online about the person's work place. Have a list of questions to ask the person on the phone. Followup actions. Organized and all set.
Check the email again, the meeting is on the 16th.
FUCK.

msbelle IS wise, and Beverly is wise too.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I think making every two characters who spend time together a sexual pairing does oppress the idea of platonic friends, even really good and close friends. But I'm used to that.
When I say oppressed, I'm talking about structural oppression in society, which is something romantic partnerships of a same-sex nature face, and friendships just don't.
