msbelle, that's crap. SUCKIT is exactly right.

Kat, I hope Gracie is better today. Rashes are awful, no matter what.

msbelle, how infuriating. On what grounds are they trying to cut you off? "We are assholes" grounds?

Kat, one thing from personal rash experience - once skin is sensitized, it can get irritated easily for a while. Such as, I got poison ivy and then got a weird rash on my stomach that a doc in the box diagnosed as scabies, when it was just contact dermatitis from my detergent (which was usually fine).

Sunburn - still burny. Am on extra-strength OTC painkillers, and arnica, and applied aloe. And brought a bottle with me to work.

I need to hit Target and see if they have any beach umbrellas left. Should have bought one at the beach, duh.

Aims -- I think putting the education first is a good idea. You can tweak a resume many ways, depending on the field and the job position; I personally have my education and credentials at the beginning of my resume.

Most employers will look at school attendance and fill in the blanks -- it's not really an employment gap; it's a completely logical step in employability.

And i am amazed I could write that, snce I am so full of gronk. I think I need to go back to sleep for a few hours.

Eh, maybe. I wouldn't make them read to the end and hope they go there. You want to fill in the blank for them instead. In this case I would agree education first or a chronological approach is the best one.

That's what I meant, Brenda.

Tired...

I saw Avatar (the blue people version) this weekend or most of it anyway. I enjoyed it but I was watching it with my BiL who thought it was about the stupidest thing he'd ever seen and laughed at stuff. I think I'll watch it again so I can see the whole thing and be able to actually enjoy it.

Ugh, my car needs repairs and it may go up to $2000 dollars. I can't remember the last time it broke down. It's 16 years old, but I'm thinking the money is worth it if it lasts for another 4 or 5 years and I think it can.

They made me an iced latte instead of a hot latte at the Bean this morning. "It's just the same, but cold!" proffered the barista.

Uh, der? Gimme what I ordered. Weirdo. Entirely a huge difference, and I want what I want.

I'm looking at my timesheet for last week Sunday-Saturday, and I just don't know how to reflect monitoring my email for 12 hours.

Yesterday is almost easier, because I got up and left poolside to sit down inside and make calls and send emails. But Saturday I was just frozen in front of the laptop all day.

Happy birthday SA!

smonster, I slept right through the alarm this morning! Sorry! Even the cats didn't wake me up; I must have scared them off with my snoring.

Sophia, I second bon's rec of Body Glide; it's okay to put on over a rash, even. If you can't get that, maybe use Vaseline if you're not sensitive to it. And of course, put the softest cotton you can find next to your skin.

Birthday happiness, SA!

Happy SA day!
