Rick is bringing the observational humour today. Good job, Rick.

I did not bring enough food today. I may have to see what I can glean from the vending machines. What I would like to do, of course, is go home early to make up for staying late earlier in the week, but that's not happening.

Word from OTW is that Archive Team is working on archiving the content from TWOP.

I don't know much about them, but OTW says they make copies of what they've archived available for download.

The documentary on Vivian Maier is showing tonight in town, one night only. I really want to see it, but I am on day 1 of period and I am coming down with something-- have been achy, tired and fevery all day. Oh yeah, and I've been awake since 4:45. So want to go home, take all the drugs and curl up in a ball, yet I so want to see this movie. Gah!

Can you take some of the drugs and go see the movie?

You can stay at home and watch the other Vivian Maier documentary.

Tough one, Sue. I hate when that happens.

I also was gonna say: I don't think I have ever had a job that was important, and I am grateful for that. I think that would weigh heavily on me. When I was looking for work this last time, I always said I wanted to be a cog in a big machine, and that's pretty much what I am now. And it's not an evil machine, so far as I can tell, so I'm satisfied.

This year there's a big push to Emphasize the Employees which means a lot of progression path stuff and mentoring and whatnot which I appreciate in the abstract but, when you get right down to it, I just want to do my job and get paid for it.

I am happiest in this job when I can just do the parts of it that are cog-like and be done at 5, but that so rarely happens.

Remember my resume question? I just want opinions on phrasing a job description. So, which is better? This:

I was responsible for scheduling, training, and supervising local crews for touring shows, University events and rental events. I also served as house lighting designer and master electrician. Designs included Dance Arts, Windham Hill's Winter Solstice Concerts, Branford Marsalis Quartet, George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars, and many more.

Or this:

Scheduling, training, and supervising local crews for touring shows, University events and rental events. House lighting designer and master electrician. Designs included Windham Hill's Winter Solstice, Branford Marsalis Quartet, and George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars.

In my current situation, I know the person who will be looking at the resume and I'm leaning toward the 2nd one.

I think the first one.

Eta: yeah, totally depends on the audience. They're both fine.

I'd go with the second one then.
