Yay new house, askye!

Sounds like a good reason to have a bubblebath, Nora.

I *HATE* Capitol One. I didn't get in any car accidents while going to the store (although a motorcyclist clipped my mirror as he passed me, then flipped me off), but to counterbalance that, my credit card was declined. WTF? I have a big enough credit limit to buy a whole car, and I just made a payment 11 days ago. Turns out it's because the charge was made in Greece.

Like every other flipping charge on that card for the last 7 months.

Like I told them would happen before we moved.

But apparently they got confused because I bought things from Amazon using the same card, and those charges are in the US. So in case someone had stolen my card, they declined it.

You know what? If someone steals my credit card and uses it to buy $300 of groceries, LET 'EM.

Grr. There's nothing more embarrassing than having your card declined, unless it's declined when you don't even speak the same language as the cashier.

Of the good, the store's having a promotion, and I won 2 tickets on Superstar Ferries. (Although at first I read it as Superstar Ferrets...so I was a little let down.)

Also, retsina-flavored ice cream is the nasty.

Oh, Cashmere and Raquel, those are of the suck! I'm so sorry!

Calls have been made to all three Accountemps branches near me.

Now to write cover letters and tweak my resume for three possible job leads I gathered over the weekend.

Motivation~ma would be very welcome, as would any volunteers to look at the resume and/or cover letters.

Sounds like a good reason to have a bubblebath, Nora.

Sadly, that is not an option at work...

Sadly, that is not an option at work...

Which is, frankly, bullshit. Starts making signs for 'Workplace Bubble Bath" campaign.

Today I absolutely must finish the stinky schedule for the stinky sale, bring it into the stinky store, finish my cover letter for a new, less stinky job, send it in with my shiny resume, clean the entire house, then weed out some various clothes, cd, dvds, etc. that I can sell.

Lilty, let me know if you need a beta reader for your cover letters and resume.

Tacklehugs Anne.

I may take you up on the letter. I'm thinking out of trying out an experimental technique where I find a professional, well-phrased way of saying "Look, I know that my current job in retail is as different as can be from this position, but it HAS given me a, b, and c, and I know that I can do this."

If I can help you out, let me know, too.

ETA: Gah. I hate getting started on cover letters. Once I get going, I'm fine. But every way I think of starting that second paragraph sounds stoopid.

Sounds good, Lilty. Feel free to send stuff to my profile addy when ready. I know what you mean about experimental, since I'm trying very much that approach in applying for an admin job at a local school district.

I'll definitely let you know if I need help.

Yay for askye movage! Yay pictures!

{{Lilty}} Just because I haven't hugged you in a while, I don't think.

I'd help with the resumes and cover letters, but, honestly, I have no skill with that sort of thing.

(((-t))) Just because.

I really want this in the hiring manager's email box today- I figure if he's a hiring manager like me, he just got back from a long weekend and is feeling all panicky and wanting to get stuff done. My big hurdle is getting in the door for an interview, I think. (Not that I've been so fantasically successful as to say I interview well, but I don't look great on paper right now.)
