I've really enjoyed all the Jumanji variations. Good fun.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've also worked places that THOUGHT they were fast-paced, but in fact, were not. Mostly I think people don't know how to write job postings.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Smiling for an hour is TOO MUCH for me right now in my life. That said - I think it went well - she has 5 potential positions to put me up for or inquire about. She thinks I should be able to get my desired salary and she didn't say anything about re-doing my resume.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sounds good, msbelle!

Nephew has received my notarized Delegation of Authority (and sharp-eyed wunderkind that he is, noted that I'd misspelled my own name, which he showed me how he carefully corrected it.)
Tomorrow he's go to the DOH Office of Vital Statistics and Registry in Trenton, which is a great name for a government function I think.

I know it is only my week one with no job, but everyday feels like Friday and I am having a hard time keeping things straight. Thank goodness I have put most things in my phone and with alarms.
Next week I really need to get myself on a schedule - a regular sleep schedule and a do things schedule.
Zen? would you be interested in overlapping on the job search parts of that?

Woo, msbelle!

Herding cats for fun
I read a tip about writing cover letters I really liked: pretend you are a high born elf master who is absolutely sure of being excellent at all things. Then you get to say, naturally my skills and background will solve all your organization's problems! I will easily meet all challenges due to my preternatural interpersonal abilities! My high energy approach will stun and amaze subordinates, peers and upper level management!
At least you will be in a better mood when you tone down the hyperbole into an actual cover letter.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
At least you will be in a better mood when you tone down the hyperbole into an actual cover letter.
Or when your opening sentence is "I am a high born elf master."
