stares at resume, sobs
I had forgotten how much I hate updating my resume. Thankfully I have a solid base to work from, because Strix did awesome work on it for me the last time, but ugh.
Plus I'm trying to create a version of it that will be very attractive to the hiring people at Cheezeburger.com, 'cos they've got a position open that would be PERFECT for me. I just need to emphasize my writing and social media skills, and my resume is currently All About The Tech Industry.
Is that something that your Gothic Charms School work could support, Jilli? 'Cause that's an awesome site. And it shows that you're Twitter and Tumblr aware.
It is, and I'm calling that out right in the intro section. It's the massaging the rest of the Super Tech Skills into something more media-friendly that is vexing.
"... and I am fabulous at book tours"
What? I thought you were!
Since this is the resume that's going to Cheezeburger, I am totally putting the "freelance bio-exorcist" job listing in there.
Netherworld, yeah! Gotta include that, Jilli!
Jilli, that would be a great job for you. Tons of job~ma.
It was either the ~ma or the power of complaining, but as soon as I posted about my stomach, it started to get better. I was able to go to G's party without incident, and we had a great time. All the little 4 and 5 year olds were awesome. No one fought or threw a tantrum, and there was hardly any whining while they bowled and had pizza, cake, and ice cream. TCG and I played skeeball, and after everyone left, we rented the pool table for an hour and played a couple games(we each won 1). There is a great used bookstore in the next town over from where the party was, and we stopped there, where I bought more books I don't need. Then a quick trip to the market, and now we're finally home. TCG is trying to cut the grass before sunset.
I'm glad your day ended up being nice, sj!
It's been gray and rainy all day today. I like this kind of weather, so I cheerfully walked to the farmers market and back, then opened all the windows so I could listen to the rain whle setting up my laptop. Tomorrow's supposed to be similar (maybe less rainy), so I put a hunk of beef and some veggies in the slow cooker for a Sunday pot roast.
OMG y'all. I am so bloody tired. But I made almost $250. And Em sold almost $50 worth of lemonade, coffee, donuts, and cookies. She is thrilled and went to the store and bought a soda and candy, as is right and proper.
There are only a few things coming back in the house - the rest is going to Habitat or Purple Heart. What does come back in is getting Craigs-listed. I decided to keep my antique sewing machine and use my gift card to the Magic Sewing Store to have it repaired and cleaned (I feel like I said that yesterday. Did I say that yesterday? So. Tired.).
We get boxes tomorrow, so I'm going to start cleaning rooms out and packing over the next week when I'm not helping my co-operating teacher set up her classroom.
After dinner, I am going to shower and then ... do nothing. Tomorrow is church and Heritage Festival for the Duckie Race. And meal planning/grocery shopping.
