Well, a company that would hire him off of that is probably one he'd be very happy at.

Passports and citizenships applications will not be issued.

I had no idea that this service was affected in government shutdown. Wow. Along with all the other bullshit.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

and I saw this:

FEMA employees might also be furloughed.

We aren't still in hurricane season are we? Goodness. How ridiculous.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

In a super-specific situation, maybe. Otherwise, world of no.

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

Yeah, it's a real resume. Of course the gawker network thought it's just a sign of corporate deadness that he might not get hired, but damn! How does a recruiter handle that person? That resume? How does that get scanned and filed? I guess if you want to go in the special pile, but does your industry normally hire out of that?

For every "but we're allowed to emboss pokemons on our head and we do just fine!" there are so many people who, you know, might never get a job if they can't print a resume in a couple columns, monochrome, maybe Verdana, and no animals drawn on their face.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

the average company who has a lot of applications for jobs are looking for excuses not to interview or hire.

If that's his resume, I think I would pay folding $$ to see his cover letter.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Wow. That is ... quite the resume. And I say this as someone who has "freelance bio-exorcist" listed at the very end of mine.

Go offroad. Can you visit the observatories?

I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Right now I'm trying a Big Swell IPA from Maui Brewing Co. and trying to stay awake long enough for us to plan what we're doing tomorrow.
