Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Phew, Jilli! I agree that a celebratory vodka is in order.

You are not a failure, Burrell! You are doing the best you can.

Thanks but... I think I need to be trying harder. To not get mad, to keep my daughter on task, etc. But that still might not address the bottom line, which is what do we do if we think she's struggling so hard to meet expectations and address work habits that she's not actually learning the materials all that well? That's my current worry.
