Allyson, if they look historical to you, I can give you some more historical recs, too.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thanks! That's an excellent start. I'll pick these up and see if she likes these or not, and I'll get a better idea of what she likes. Getting a mix of historical and contemporary isa good start.
I knew I came to the right place.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Does this mean they'll be bringing you on as an employee, or are you staying contract but with shinier terms?
Still contract, but more guaranteed hours (not quite double my average month currently, but close) and a higher rate.

And in other news, drat! I found a typo on the version of the resume I've sent to several jobs in the past couple of days.
Phew! It was just on my LinkedIn profile (which I'd thought I'd built by cut and pasting resume info, but I guess not entirely). Anyway, that hasn't seen much traffic yet, so I guess it's less of an "argh" situation than I'd thought.
