References of the Lost

Oh, and this may be a week late, but why the hell is "Lost" doing previews for reruns during the credits? Are they trying to fool the viewers into watching an episode they've already seen with quick-cuts and non-specific quotes? It bugs me.
Charlie: "Claire, what about Claire?"
Montage of generic enigmatic images of the island and cast, cut quickly to suggest a general feeling of anxiety.
Locke: "We don't know what's out there, Jack."
More enigmatic images, inducing epileptic fits in the unwary.
Hurley (wide-eyed and staring into darkness): "Dude."
Announcer: "Now is the perfect time to get Lost. Wednesday, 8, 7 Central, on ABC."
Apropos of nothing: another resume question. Most of these positions require three professional references. I've been using three library-related references. Should one of the references be the supervisor of my current position? He's be happy to do that, but I haven't used any non-library references because -- well, I don't know why. But then I'm thinking that maybe a reference culled from my actual work history might be a good thing. What say the Peanut Gallery.

I think that 2 library references and one from your current job sounds like a good mix.

I went with three library references because I felt the need to prove my librarian cred, which one would assume would be taken care of by my degree. I've already changed the resume I'm sending out though. Thanks!
