Is it still resume fashion to do things in sentence fragments "seasoned technical support professional", or is it "I am a seasoned technical support professional"? Stupid, changeable, possibly-career-gutting nitpicky details.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like I've heard somewhere that The Kids Today might put full sentences in the description of each position, but I wouldn't. Even in the summary, I wouldn't start with "I am," but it wouldn't hurt. Neither thing would really hurt, probably.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Fragments. Don't use "I" in a resume; Try to begin frags with verbs if possible -- Developed, beta-tested and maintained 3 databases for HooHa Management Functions -- and try to be specific: 15+ years of advanced quantum fuckery. "Proficient in Word, Excel, Blah, Whatsit, Nonsuch and Blerglehorf" instead of "Computer literate."

I'm getting the idea that I should put in the tech support related things and save the "what did you do in this gap?" for a possible interview. Especially when filling in an online resume.

Not by my clock. Delete often is not really delete.

Thank goodness I have paranoid habits about always keeping backups of repository folders on my own machine. That was an exciting few hours.

That is a beautiful thing to read. Well done.

Woo! I'd say that chocolate vodka can be used to celebrate now.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Tried to go see Frankenstein at a local movie theatre and they were sold out.

Which reminded me that I've been craving rewatching Plunkett & McLeane, Netflix does not have it, nor does iTunes. And I'm re-exploring Netflix after several years: do they not do trailers anymore? I'm disappointed all around.

I cannot sit without a cat on my lap. Given the forecast, I juuuust might make it to November 1 before turning on the heat. But I probably need to bring in my jasmine plant before Halloween if I want it to survive another winter.
