Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That sounds so awesome, Burrell! Many vibes that Isaac has a great time and that his struggles don't overwhelm him. I know more than a few kids (my own, but definitely others) who get anxious and perfectionist and utterly stuck, and it's so hard as an adult to just stand back and let them figure their way through it and out.

Re-writing my resume so I'm saying what I accomplished rather than just what my job tasks were is also Too Hard! One of the main reasons I left my job was because I felt like I wasn't accomplishing anything. (I did accomplish not slapping anyone although some people were begging to be slapped on a daily basis.) Also not fun is writing a summary or profile. wah wah wah I'm an AWESOME. Hire me!
Clearly, I'm at least an awesome complainer and procrastinator!
oof, msbelle, that is not fun at all.

I hate doing all that lisah. That's why I don't apply for jobs where that's my responsibility, but I still have to do it to get a job. It's not a good system.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
...vendor and the amount, no info on work being done or scope.
That sounds pretty shady. If he offers you a cut, I hope you have some way to record him.

I'd have a hard time doing a tech support accomplishment resume: "Currently have nine years of experience getting thousands of desperate computer users up and running with our program." I'm probably not allowed to call customers desperate.

I did take a long lunch today so I should theoretically stay late this evening, but I really don't feel like it. Meh. I stay late often enough with no comp time.

See, I feel like I could turn yours around into an accomplishment pretty easily, Connie. I'm guessing you've increasingly become the go-to tech support person for the really hard (most desperate) customers?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh lisah, I feel you on that one! I just had to revise my merit review letter.
and it's so hard as an adult to just stand back and let them figure their way through it and out.
Yeah sigh. Plus the whole thing where I'm supposed to socialize him. He still tries to eat rice with his hands. What gives, kid? I taught you about forks when you were in preschool!
