I have new hair! Short hair!

Picture will have to wait until after I finish stuffing my face with an extremely late dinner.

People confuse me. [link]

Retired barber Joe Godlewski says that when television chefs recommended kosher salt in recipes, he wondered, "What the heck's the matter with Christian salt?"

By next week, his trademarked Blessed Christians Salt will be available from seasonings manufacturer Ingredients Corporation of America. It's sea salt that's been blessed by an Episcopal priest.

Having company spoils the cats. They are so darned clingy tonight!

Also? My parents just sent me a hunk of change. Need to decide where that puts me...

I really should get a finances person.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ooookay re: Christian salt.

I would totally work half-assedly all the time, instead of having clear boundaries.

Guilty. I end up working at midnight, but not at, say, eight in the morning. FAIL. That's part of my massive office reorg goal, to make it my work space and not my personal hang-out space. Although I really like the space, and I like having my own space, so I'm not sure if that's the right goal or not.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Well, although technically today is an off day -- I have this class on the Newbery that takes much more of my time than I thought it wuld . Today I worked on my class ( got a good job from the teacher ) and i sent the did the meeting notes for the children's meeting I was at mid-feb. ( my excuse for being so late -- this class -- which got me a hair pat from the big boss and an invite to share my class at t he next children's meeting). Any way I worked from about 12/1230 to five and way more efficiently than I do at work. I'd never get 8 hours a day 5 days a week -- but over 7 days you'd probably get more work out of me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Question: I'm freakin' 35. Do I still need to put my education at the top of the resume?

Also, I have 2 and a half pages. What are the rules there? I have my last three jobs (dating back to 1998 to show 10+ years experience), my event planning business with budgets/charity receipts, and my writing experience.

Do I put that my book was featured in Entertainment Weekly?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shrift not only looks good, she also looks not unlike bon.

Allyson, my last resume critique told me to move my education to the end. But I go on for four pages. And people keep asking me for more details. Oy.
