sara, you looked fabulous in those pics! I love the dress.

Much ~ma to everyone who needs it. The universe just needs to back off everyone right now. Thanks for the good wishes for my mother. She's still weighing her options, but I feel better knowing that good people are vibing for her.

ION, today was supposed to be the first Friday off of my summer Fridays off (need to use PTO before the end of the FY in August). Guess who ended up working from quarter to nine this morning until 7:15 tonight, without an acknowledgement by my boss that I was technically ON VACATION? My direct report kept apologizing, but the crisis wasn't her fault. Oh, I will be having a talk with him and taking another day off. If it comes down to it, the cell phone will be shut off on Fridays as well. Not. Pleased.

oh. Maria, that absolutely blows. Is there a way to be comped for your time?

I had a feeding Grace error tonight (a tube was left open so the formula went cascading down her into the crib) and I gave her the first home blended meal instead of formula. Let's hope I don't accidentally starve her or make her sick. (Tonight's formula is made of coconut milk, prune juice, applesauce, sweet potatoes, rice, flax oil, olive oil, avocado, molasses, whey protein and maple syrup).

It seems like 10-15 years ago, I remember being told that resumes should be 1 page long, maybe 2. Well, mine is now at 3, but I only have vital and relevant stuff on there. (And I've moved a lot, so that means lots of new jobs every 2-3 years).

eta: I managed to squeeze it onto 2 pages, but I'm still curious if there is a consensus.

I gave Loki some outside time. I've created a monster. May be buying halter and leash today.

Market: cherries (2 kinds), strawberries, spinach, empanadas. Oh, and a free thyme plant from the spinach people!

Also? My tomato plant has a tomato! Yay, a $2 grape tomato! And I'll be gone next week. Hmph.

I think 10-15 years ago your resume should have been one page, but now you have 10-15 more years of stuff to put on it! I bet there's a lawyer consensus, but I don't know it.

Oh, I will be having a talk with him and taking another day off.

I certainly hope so!

Sara, what are you doing on this trip?

Familying. Going to visit my brother and co, then ferrying eldest nephew to my parents', stay a few days there, back via an overnight at my brother's.

10-15 years ago, I was told that lawyers resumes should be one page, but that that didn't apply to other jobs.

Also, I don't like my cats this morning.

I would say the 1-2 pages is a good rule of thumb (for non academia), but if your experience warrants going into a third, I think that's fine. Just make sure that everything pushing it out is actually relevant and necessary. (Hint: do not list European cities you have visited.)
