'Out Of Gas'
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.
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.
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.
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.
Woo for no fever!
They are coming to help you not to judge you, Sophia. I hope it's not too expensive.

She said she started it when she was working as a waitress and was too busy to stop and chat about it!
billytea, those links were helpful, and Jesse, your input is also helpful. Thanks for the encouragement, all.
Am I writing that cover letter? No I am not. I am eating a muffin and trying to calm tf down.
I hate my anxiety even more than I hate my depression. Depression, I have effective coping mechanisms, I know how to deal with it. Anxiety, I got nothing. Yelling CALM DOWN into the mirror is strangely ineffective.
