198 Entries for “reference”

  1. References for jog hunting are extremely important. Ask first and know what your reference is going to say. I have seen people get surprised by getting a marginal or bad reference. The assume the person will only say wonderful things.

  2. these words suck. I’m referring to all the words that I have ever personally logged on too see. I was expecting exciting, adventurous, mysterious words. Words that wander on their own. These words just sit on the couch and are as inspiring as a bank statement.

  3. My dad used to work in reference in the library! I worked at circulation though. It was really tiring, but fun! I don’t know why they don’t call me to sub in sometimes anymore.

  4. We all need reference to get somewhere or to get something, we can get them from
    Someone or from something, but the only reference we really need is our heart.
    Our dreams are locked in it, we only need to follow it and be happy.

  5. Maggie put her bookbag on the table and walked toward the back of the library. She had to get her report on interpersonal communication started.

    Walking to the reference section, she heard scuffling and what she thought was voices. Creeping quietly, she peered around the corner of the last row. Her eyes widened and she was frozen where she stood.

    A tiny, blue, baby dragon peeked up at her from under a pile of books.

  6. My hand shook when I passed him the paper. He looked predatorily at me, and offered a shark’s smile.

    He would write something dazzling for me… if I made it worth his while.

  7. A job reference.
    Someone who will say good things about you.
    Not a friend.
    A friend normally does not say good things about you.
    Do I need new friends?
    Or are mine just incredibly honest?

  9. I don’t understand and probably never will- MLA citations, I’m sure, are simple to others, but to me they’re just a huge bitca.

  10. There are way too many things in this weird brain of mine to reference a reference. Perhaps, I will just think of ice cream and reference the delicious frozen dessert of my wildest imagination. Or zombies…

  11. Referencing is something I have to do in high school in my high school papers. I reference things such as book quotes and websites which I take information from to enrich my writing assignments. Sometimes it’s a pain to reference things, but it helps the text as a whole and takes up space!

  12. Everything I see is just a reference to you
    A reminder of the way you used to laugh
    Or the colour of your eyes, or the sobbing of your cries
    Or how red you made the water in that bath

  13. They said I needed a reference, that they weren’t going to hire anyone without at least one good one and probably two or three. But I was new here, I didn’t know anyone, and they didn’t want to hear from out-of-state people.

    They sure weren’t making it very easy. But maybe that was the whole point: to exclude “foreigners.”

  14. Amid the chaos of Mindy’s move to her new home, the bed bugs took shelter in her Roget’s Thesaurus set. 14 volumes. Plenty of room.

  15. Every once and a while to go to basketball reference.com to see how much any NBA player has made in their career. This is out of nowhere but it’s what I thought of. I love watching basketball and it’s interesting to see how much they’ve made in their lifetime.

  16. Don’t use me as a reference. I don’t know what I’m talking about. Ever. Don’t use me as a person. I dont know what I’m doing. Don’t use me as a friend. I don’t know how to be that. Don’t use me as an aid. I don’t know how to do that. Don’t use me. I don’t know anything.

  17. I look back through your past as a reference to why you’re such an asshole. Emotionally distressing parents, an interest in victimization, all paired with the occasional drug use and you get a sad sap of a man; lonely, tired, achy, and with a 5 o’clock shadow begging to be shaved.

  18. Reference? Reference to what? The stars? The starts of something? The beginning of things? The origins? Or reference to the things we feel? What do you feel? Passion? Love? Hate? Maybe reference to the past? The things people used to do? Old acquaintances? Friends lost?

  19. i already did this word and was quite happy with what i posted, why am i getting this word again?

  20. “What’s the matter? Don’t you get the reference?”

    “Um…no.”

    He glowers at me from across the table. “It’s a Tolkien reference. Tol-kee-en. Are you trying to tell me you don’t know what an ent is?”

    “An ant?”

    “An ent, you moron. A tree person. There’s one named Treebeard.”

    “Oh.” I shrug. “Well, that explains it. I don’t read books where the author can’t think of actually good names for his characters.”

    He’s certainly not pleased by that remark.

  21. She looked at the job spec and saw that she needed a reference. What was she going to do? How could she possibly get a reference from the man she was sleeping with who broke her heart,or the wife of that man who was out for her blood!!

  23. Tout le monde veut des références. mais que vaudront-elles demain et que valent les références du passé? En plus, leur valeur dépendra toujours des références de celui qui les consulte et doit voir son jugement influencé,.. quelles sont ses références?

  24. The library is comforting. Surrounded by books and whispers, the crinkling of paper and hushed footsteps, he is able to think. To breathe, finally. Sitting in the regulation chairs, the weight lifts from his shoulders, and he sinks into that crazy, pure oblivion that can only be found in the spaces between words, and the lines of text. These are his silent footnotes, his closed captions.

  25. I open the logs and peruse my older files, trying to remember as much as I can of the case. The words that I start and the black and white photo I hold don’t seem to fill the void they create, nor do they do my love justice. I wish for a moment she could smile or even blink, so that I could know she was with me a moment longer.

  26. This reminds me of the time I once rode a horse bareback through the streets of Rochester. That was in another life though, I’m a changed man now. I use saddles.

  28. I opened the dictionary. I immediately flipped through about half the pages and then stopped at the letter L. My long, elegant finger traced down the different word as I mouthed them silently looking for the right one. I found it.
    Love (pronounced luhv)
    Definition: To feel tender, adoring and/or passionate emotions for a person in a positive way.
    My eyebrows clashed together in confusion. I didn’t get it. I started up my computer and opened Google. I wrote ‘Love reference’ and clicked on the first link I got.
    If you need a reference for love you just have to find the person who makes your face flush and your heart stop beating and have you start acting like a clumsy idiot and then kiss them. that’s what Google told me.
    That’s strange, I thought. Is Google implying that I love the boy next door?

  29. She looked and looked. Scraping the landscape for the place it could be. There was no reference point. she hadn’t been there before. Think Think. it’s green and gold it cant be that hard to locate. How is it she even allowed herself to sneak in.

  30. It’s just a point of reference, a frame if you will.
    A train suspended in a fireplace as if transfixed by time
    A thought piece for the son with an apple face
    While he contemplates the meaning under his funny black hat.

    Ceci n’est pas une pipe it chimes and chimes and chimes.

    It’s a peel –
    A peal –
    An appeal of the watchword.

  31. He had to reference the dictionary to know what it meant. He didn’t even know they had one. That’s what society has come to; we don’t know our language, don’t own a copy of our language.

  32. “Shit, Cassie, you weren’t kidding about that nurse’s outfit…” Sebastian smirked, staring directly at her boobs as she walked towards them, mesmerized by the slight jiggle with every step. “I never lie, you should know that for future reference.” She grinned as she straddled his lap, wrapping her arms around him. “Ah, I’ll be sure to keep it in mind, don’t you worry about.” “Mm, good. And it feels like you know exactly what I wanted in exchange for wearing it for you.” She smirked, playfully wiggling her hips. “Happy Birthday, Bash.”

  33. references are people or places you go to, to learn about something else. You can reference to a certain time or place or memory that you have experienced in your life and think back to that moment. Reference can be good, bad or can refer to people or inanimate objects. To refer to something, to abide or go to something.

  34. “I am going to need references… all I see here is… this can’t be right, can it? Your only experience is in janitorial services?” He said as he stared at me in disbelief. But such was always the case, and my search continued. They said the degree would help me get a job.

  35. You can get a job reference. A reference looks good to people, it shows that you are trustworthy, and an able worker. These days, references are often needed.

  36. the reference books are clogged with notes. scribbling coats the margins and dog ears line the corners. these books were used by many people, to find a path through the shelves to what they seeked. sort of nice to know that there was something out there to help them along their way.

  37. The refrence he was given about the man seemed to be legit

  38. “I don’t really understand the reference. You said that the world was supposed to end like three weeks ago? I’ve never heard that. Mayans? What are Mayans?… ”

    The gentleman leans in and whispers to the heiress.

    “What?…”

    He leans again.

    “Oh! Like mexican egypt people?!”

    The gentleman rolls his eyes and politely excuses himself.

  39. When there’s a reference to something, this should remind you of it. There can for example be a reference to a movie or certain event in the past. This can make you smile, or think, because you recoginze it, but when you don’t get the reference, it’s just useless. References are only useful when you know what it means.

  40. I made a reference to a bad pop song the other day. I hated myself for it. Why would I make a reference to a pop song that I don’t even like? Society is controlling me. I am conforming. Is this a good thing? I’m conforming a lot already, like in my looks and in my style. I wonder if I’m supposed to keep going with “reference” or just stray off.
