Hm. I woke up with my brain popping with things I could do, today. So of course then I read for an hour and a half. I've tried to redeem myself by doing exercises and gathering up the names of people who've responded to my plea for references to put on my resume.
One in particular I was quite pleased to hear from as he kind of disappeared for a while after HomeRuns.com broke up. He sent me a link to his showpeice site - nothing personal, just stuff he put up to be pretty. To warn you, it downloads stuff, which always creeps me out. I trust him, because, well, I worked with him for a couple of years and he always seemed consistently genuine*, but if you don't want something downloaded and to hear Sting's music, don't go there - www.rashid.ws . Yeah, I'll admit it, I crossed my fingers and chanted "I trust you, Rashid, I trust you." Hey, he did save me from getting a stick in my eye, one time. ;) (And yes I AM about the clumsiest person who ever walked down a street looking at their feet.)
Anyhow, the page is pretty, but do you think I should tell him he could use some paragraph breaks in that history of Sudan? And a few references or an attribution? If he's going to stress his communications skills it seems like a good idea.
*I was rather surprised that he went to a strip club with us but then refused alcohol because his religion forbids it. I had assumed all religions were checked at the door in a strip club.
PS - Server errors are rampant on LJ, today. I'm nervous.
