An Unusual Resume
jss @ April 23, 2008 # One Comment
I’ve always had sort of a roguish curriculum vitae, I guess. Why “roguish?” I’m certain most employers would (or have) describe/d it differently and with less charm.

Links in this post are NSW … but I can’t resist poking around a little to see just what Yahoo is going to be deleting when they blow away all the Adult Profile pictures.
