Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can you take some of the drugs and go see the movie?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You can stay at home and watch the other Vivian Maier documentary.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Tough one, Sue. I hate when that happens.

I also was gonna say: I don't think I have ever had a job that was important, and I am grateful for that. I think that would weigh heavily on me. When I was looking for work this last time, I always said I wanted to be a cog in a big machine, and that's pretty much what I am now. And it's not an evil machine, so far as I can tell, so I'm satisfied.

This year there's a big push to Emphasize the Employees which means a lot of progression path stuff and mentoring and whatnot which I appreciate in the abstract but, when you get right down to it, I just want to do my job and get paid for it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am happiest in this job when I can just do the parts of it that are cog-like and be done at 5, but that so rarely happens.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Remember my resume question? I just want opinions on phrasing a job description. So, which is better? This:

I was responsible for scheduling, training, and supervising local crews for touring shows, University events and rental events. I also served as house lighting designer and master electrician. Designs included Dance Arts, Windham Hill's Winter Solstice Concerts, Branford Marsalis Quartet, George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars, and many more.

Or this:

In my current situation, I know the person who will be looking at the resume and I'm leaning toward the 2nd one.

I think the first one.

Eta: yeah, totally depends on the audience. They're both fine.

Because books.

I'd go with the second one then.

Second one, in bullet point format, maybe.
