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.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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)

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.

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.
smonster, I'll sum up, if no one else objects?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oh my ... what do you do when a lynx kills some of your chickens? In this case, you grab him by the scruff and give him a stern talking to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thank you, Jesse! Is your profile addy good?
Yep!

Oh man, that is my dream!
