Guest speaker in class today, which means I was able to sit toward the back of the class for most of the day and enjoy. She talked about resumes and that sort of thing. <\/p>\n

Now the students have to start crafting their own resumes. No one likes building resumes as a class assignment, I think. But we all need ’em. <\/p>\n

Otherwise I’ve been preparing for the rest of the week, which will be hectic with travel and adventure. <\/p>\n

Promote the amplifiers as well as your original upload. Why would you, a well-branded television station, do anything else?<\/p>\n

Just flat silly: <\/p>\n
