“Oversaw successful completion and delivery of food orders safely and within prescribed time limits” = ‘rock that pie to the door ASAP motherfucker!’

It’s true: flattery gets you everywhere. Well, almost everywhere, although I’ll say that if every spam comment I got was as flattering as the text in the one reproduced below, I might be tempted to let some of them slip through when they got caught by SpamKarma and kicked over for moderation. Alas, it must be deleted.

Your site is a refreshing change from the majority of sites I have visited. When I first started visiting web sites I was excited by the potential of the internet as a resource and was very disappointed initially. You have restored my enthusiasm and I thank you for your efforts to share your insights and help the world become a better place.

Flattering spam!

No, seriously, what tie should I wear?

I’d like to be in bed right now, but I’m redoing my resume for the career fair tomorrow (Wednesday). I’ve got a big resume writing book open in my lap, my laptop on the coffee table in front of me, and I’m working on a “target” statement as a focal piece for it. I’ve got an idea how this is all going to end up: I’ll write a killer resume, but forget to pick up my drycleaning after class tonight (Tuesday) and wind up going to the career fair in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts.

Well, maybe I’ll get points for bucking the whole suit trend thing.

No, seriously, what tie should I wear?
