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

Our wings are not tired.

Woot! Yes, I have been the victim of sneaking hiding footwear too. Although I generally blame it on the animals.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am supposed to walk to Maria’s monks today.

I would like to understand more about this as well.

smonster, I'd be happy to look at your resume! I love that!! And agree that two pages is fine.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Maria has monks?

Jim is off for his annual physical. I have the place to myself!!! *cannot run around because of sore feet, but bounces happily in the chair by my laptop* Loud music he dislikes is a go . . . .

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ask a Manager also agrees that this far into your career, two pages is fine. She also advocates for leaving off earlier jobs unless they're really relevant/important.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thank you, Jesse! Is your profile addy good?

There’s a new update on CaringBridge about amyth, maybe someone can summarize for Beep Me? I am not able to at the moment. Anticipatory grief is a real special bitch.

Thanks for that, Dana. It’s hard to think about leaving off Peace Corps and my first carpentry job, but something has to go. Maybe I just list the employers and my position and they can ask more if they want.

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

Oh, fuck. Thanks for the headsup, smonster. I don't know if I will be able to summarize for Beep Me but at least I know to go look for myself (and to brace myself)

Punishingly Intricate

smonster, definitely check out Ask a Manager for resume tips! Although I feel like Jesse is our in-house Ask a Manager?

smonster - I like the idea of listing the Peace Corp and the carpentry jobs more as conversation starters than anything. When I'm interviewing candidates, I find it useful to ask "how did you get from carpentry to ..." and questions like that to warm things up.

Maybe the early jobs are cover letter fodder.
