Gris, our local Kroger is going through a major reno right now and has been for months. I think you would approve of the changes -- basically turning it into a copy of Fancy Kroger in Inglewood -- but in the meantime it is taking forever and every time you go in, half of what you need is in a new location. I spent at least 10 minutes last week trying to find the peanut butter. Eventually, though, it should be great!
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Hey. New board.
I feel like that store got renovated every two years while we were there. But yeah when they bought that store next door, I could see the (good!) writing on the wall.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So the cover letter is read AFTER the resume makes it through? I always thought the cover letter was read first, and the point was to get them to read the resume. Huh. That makes a difference.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh no, Dana. Hope the fever was just a passing fluke and all is well this morning.
How did you do that? The fever was already going down when I went to bed, and I'm fine this morning. No fever or body aches. So that's good, although I'm kind of confused.

Copperbadge did a cover letter template that I've been using in my sporadic "get me the hell away from 100 F days in October" job searches. [link]
I mean, I haven't gotten a job from it yet because here I still am. But I've gotten some phone interviews.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally depends! But online, yeah, I probably scan the resume first to make sure the pass basic qualifications.

In other news, I have a colleague who turns out to be British, which is surprising because she uses a nearly impeccable American accent at the office! I just got her to give me her British accent, and it was stunning!

Zero interest in doing work today. ZERO.

Oh my gosh, WHY would someone mask a British accent when working abroad? Well, unless doing so in one of the more recent former British colonies that might still harbor resentment... They sound so nice!

Woo! Buffista~ma FTW.
My family has moved on to the Vermont portion of their vacation so quiet has returned to the household. I enjoy the house full of people and activity, and I enjoy the peace and quiet. It's all good.
