So about 7 episodes into season 2 of House of Cards (spoils) - Jovian Mar 6, 12:14
so - the guys that unfroze my water yesterday - I sent a Thank You note with 3 Jimmy John's $10 cards - one for each of them - as an extra "Thanks" - JenBro Mar 6, 12:12 5
- That's very nice of you and I bet they appreciated it. -- nm - Krusty Mar 6, 12:19
- Wait, a plumber showed up at your house... and he got a Jimmy John's card? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 6, 12:15 1
  - no - City employees - they deal with the frozen water mains that have been happening this year inside the City limits -- nm - JenBro Mar 6, 12:23
- they are probably used to 'thanks, guys' and a small token of that appreciation is well appreciated -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 6, 12:13
- Good job. That is more than fair. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 12:13

    - You'd prefer that there be a ST takeover of a Keno parlor -- nm - JD Mar 6, 12:01 1

hello. resume talk: do you have a "summary" section on your resume? if so, how many sentences is it? -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 6, 11:45 10
- 5 words or less -- nm - decline Mar 6, 12:18
- Yes. Going through the VetNet workshops recently, the concensus is that a summary statement should now be used in place of the "Miss America" - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jock Strap) Mar 6, 11:53
- If you go to 2+ pages overall - I would. And the Summary should be 2-3 lines. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 6, 11:47 6
  - I think I'm going to two pages. let me ask you (specifically) this: you've moved up in an organization, yes? - Moray Gerbson Mar 6, 11:51 3
    - List them under the Company's name, i.e. BA - Senior BA - Financial Manager -- nm - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Mar 6, 12:07
    - How I did this was to list the last position only and then note my promotions in the accomplishments area. - spamlet Mar 6, 11:57
    - it was a lateral move but I get your question... - Mel Profit Mar 6, 11:56
  - Oh come on, a table of contents for your summary is classy. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 11:48 1
    - Grown Ups are talking, sweetie... -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 6, 11:49
- I have a profile section. Three sentences. -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 11:46
Holy. Shit. Has ST seen this 4 minute promo for Captain America? - TWuG Mar 6, 11:38 18

    - I wouldnt say boring but it was tad bit slow at first - eag Mar 6, 11:52 4
      - I call it boring as in I have zero desire to watch it a second time. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 11:54 3

Can we please just nail down a Bingo time. -- nm - CQ Mar 6, 11:35 64
- I like 3 but the 7pm show people will probably worry so 1 is the fall back. - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 11:35 63
  - 3pm. It's a 90minute session...becuase they need 15 minutes to clear out and fill up ... so you're out by 4:30. That gives you 2.5 hours to get a - Will Hunting Mar 6, 11:49 1

        OK - I'll keep researching. I just really really want to hear you sing :) -- nm - JenBro Mar 6, 12:05 2

        I swear you have the most interesting life ever ... I hope you tell lots of stories when you drink - I LOVE stories. -- nm - JenBro Mar 6, 12:09
    - Agreed but Bingo is one of the things that really is more fun in mass, so we are trying to be inclusive. - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 11:39
    - yeah, I am going to enjoy myself, and the time card punching should be kept to a minimum. - groiny Mar 6, 11:39 7
