    " a little more sympathy-maybe even solidarity-with those the meritocracy dismissed as losers may be in order."


    I don't think she understands the meaning of this word, "meritocracy." I'm pretty sure the "meritocracy" she is a part of involves 1% of the population. Everybody else? Losers.

    The only people Tina knows in the "bottom income brackets" are her chauffeur and her doorman.

    Don't be silly--no doubt she also has a cleaning lady and perhaps even a manicurist, massage therapist, or dog walker.

    Here's the thing about the Thunderdome, though: while it's possible for TWO MEN to enter it, by nature and necessity, only ONE MAN can leave.

    I'd be more than happy to be Obama's Personal Cigarette Liason. I'd walk around disguised as a secretary but REALLY I'd be a secret agent to escort him to an Undisclosed Location beneath the White House. It would be a dimly lit lounge with plush couches and ashtrays for him to enjoy his daily cigarette or two. On his way out, he would enter a Febreze mist and be offered the Altoids of his choice. He could even have a smoking jacket! His choice of Zippo!


    I just realized this may start sounding like a Penthouse letter so I'll stop here.

    Customize formats. "You're not going to be able to describe your experience in eight lines, so cut and paste, then Xerox, to add space - as long as it's neatly done.


    Servicey point: Would Adobe Forms work?


    I forwarded this post to someone who's applying, maybe it will help.

    Basically anyone who "works" for the government doesn't have a real job. Government employees are basically about 99.99999999999999999999999% non-essential and get great benefits. Who wouldn't want to get in on that scam.

    There are certain people in this world who value stability and predictability above all else. For them, a 30 years of pushing paperwork for the Department of the Interior is a nice gig.
