Everyone else is doing it, and I want to play with the cool kids. (Also, this will set a new record of 5 posts in 24 hours!)

Ask me a question about me: something you've always wondered about? something you dread may be true? really, anything at all. Comments will be screened and inquirers' identities discreetly draped.

My job history is ... I believe "checkered" would be appropriate. What's really scary is I still have resumes I prepared in 1991 on my hard drive (of course the format is so out of date that NeoOffice can barely display the content)
