I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

If there's an option for a cover letter, maybe mention that you included only relevant experience for the sake of efficiency?

Instead of a cover letter, there's a "supporting statement." Not only is this application making me doubt my efficacy as a worker, it's forcing me to use IE!

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

You are in some deep waters, Sue. But potentially great pay off!

Oh, god, I just realized I should go back and put in some theatre work experience. I don't even think I have a compy of my theatre resume anymore. And that's in even shorter bits of time...Gah!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like a total cluster, sara.

On the flip side, my massage therapist was telling me that when the weather gets nice, everyone cancels their appointments! That would not even occur to me.

Good luck, Sue! You have a crapload of important related experience!

Also, the diverstiy question is optional, but I was going to anwswer it. However, "Other white background" is not enough. I have to explain white kind of white person I am. WTF??

I swear I am going to put Newfoundlander just to be contrary.

I may use this as a quote in my supporting statement.

It's clearly supportive. Seems appropriate.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I think you should use the more technical and precise term "buttload."
