Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am just plain skippy, like the peanut butter, because I require some Buffista advice.

I'm going to a job fair on Thursday for a company I've been interested in since my initial job search during the summer. They have a need for medical writers, and I feel like I'm qualified enough, judging from their postings. Apparently, they're also interested in opening up a branch in Ann Arbor.

I've never been to a job fair, though, and I have no idea what to expect. What do I do? What do I say? What do I wear? How many copies of my résumé do I bring? Do I staple it? Do I bring cover letters? If this is my big break, I don't want to fuck it up.

here is a very interesting speech about the mathematics reform movement

That's fascinating. The examples of how kids were trying to solve problems, especially. Yow. Suddenly I understand why we had so many word problems in school.

Heh. I've listened to a Kendle presentation trying to convince my (former) company to use their services...(sorry, that's not actually any help to P-C, but I'm amused)

That could be me, meara! THAT COULD BE MEEEEE.

Hi meara and Polter, two people I haven't "seen" in quite a while!

I'm posting and running, having a difficult evening.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

P-C, dress nicely, though a suit would be overkill, I think. Take resumes in a folder. A cover letter would be a good. Be ready to do your 30 second self-pimp. View it as a pre-interview, IMO.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Hi, P-C. Good luck tomorrow.

You should also take clips, P-C. You can make up some folders with your resume and clips.

PC, yes to everything DebetEsse said, although I'd be hard pressed to come up with a cover letter without a job description in front of me. Also, how's your handshake? Good luck! Gud, I'm sorry you're having a tough evening.
