Work is becoming increasingly unsustainable and I’ve spent the past 4 workdays on the verge of tears pretty much all day. I need to get my shit together and apply for jobs but I’m exhausted. My former boss did let me know about a really great opening that is going to be posted soon where she works and I think I have a good shot. My resume hasn’t been updated since 2016 and it’s a hot mess so the idea of updating it and getting it in application shape is stressing me the fuck out. I’m tempted to pay a service to put it into a better layout or something.
A resume service is worth it. I recently got a new job. My resume also hasn’t been updated since 2016. I paid $3 (it was a monthly subscription service, but once I downloaded my resume to my computer I canceled). It was so easy, there were a lot of templates to pick from. You just input the information and it lays it all out nice and neatly in whatever format you picked.

Oh hey, that’s awesome! Do you mind sharing which one you used? Congrats on the new job!

Thank you! I used resume genius. It’s $2.99 for a 2 week trial, and then some monthly fee after that. So I paid the $3, got it all done, made sure it was exactly how I wanted it, downloaded it and then canceled my trial. The only thing is that I can’t edit the copy I downloaded, so make sure it’s exactly how you want it before you cancel. Luckily I figured that out before I canceled my trial. I think the whole process start to finish took maybe half an hour?
We found a house we really liked nearby and contacted our realtor about the possibility of putting in an offer, and then contacted our mortgage broker which is when our dream fell apart. Our mortgage broker told us we couldn’t carry 2 mortgages and he had no other options for us. Our realtor gave us the name of a broker who could offer us a bridge loan, but we’d still have to bring nearly $500k to the table, so I guess we’re not moving anytime soon
We got the keys to our new house on Sunday. We’ve been taking trips of stuff to the new house in our car. Lots of trips. I’m so tired and sore. We have movers coming Thursday to move the big stuff. But if we move as much as we can before then, we save money since we pay them by the hour. My bestie calls the new house our mansion because it’s huge compared to our current house and cost a lot of money. She said I’m the only person she knows who spends what we spent on a house and then worried about saving money on the movers. Ha!

You know how I'm always defending Democrats in Congress? Well they can fuck right off with this ridiculousness about refusing to vote for the budget resolution until they do infrastructure. The moderates are being absurd and honestly poor Pelosi must be losing her everloving mind.
I've finally decided to try AntiDepressants again. I put in a MyChart request over the weekend, and got a video call appointment for this morning. 15 minutes at my desk at work and it's done.
I loved it so much for something like this. If I had had to wait for an in-person visit for like 3 weeks, I would have chickened out in the mean time. Even if I had made it, I would have had days of anxiety about it before hand, and felt judged sitting in that empty room for 20 minutes before she arrived. This was quick and comfortable and I was more honest than if I'd had to deal with all of that other stuff.
I know we love to hate on it, but there are times that this technology can be fucking amazing!
“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent,”

The GA Dems are yelling at Caroline VERY LOUDLY if that helps.

I'm especially salty with her given that she was LITERALLY THE LEAD SPONSOR ON THE HOUSE VERSION OF THE MEDICAID SAVES LIVES ACT. Which was a marker bill for a key component of the reconciliation package that she is now stalling. Appalling, honestly.
My go-to answer for this is Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.
I'm always tempted to be ironic with these types of questions and pick something like Zombie by the Cranberries.
I'm half tempted to use Bitch by Meredith Brookes.
"This is Halloween" from Nightmare before Christmas?
My random, I stopped wearing even basic foundation and eye shadow last year once home all day and all my makeup has just sat in the drawer. Probably should throw it out, right?

I need to rearrange the living room. Well, I don't really need to, but my brain is telling me to.
I bought a new tv stand to replace the one I have hated for the last 10 years or so. I don't think there's a better way to arrange things, but I'll give it a shot.

eyeshadow and other powders are fine. the foundation is likely shot and should go. ditto mascara or any other liquid products. lipsticks are a crapshoot.

Scout'sHonor, I was so sad because I had purchased about 3 new foundations to try out right before the first lockdown. I've worn each about once or twice and they now need to be thrown because I'm not wearing any foundation any longer (probably until I stop wearing masks - which will be forever).
Today contractor story - my plaster estimator was from Ireland and had the most awesome Irish brogue. He said his crews were not Irish though, so, I guess it’s not a selling point for his bid.

I would like to start by saying that I appreciate DH doing almost all the grocery shopping.
BUT.
Just once, I'd love if he could take a look in the fridge before he goes instead of texting and calling me to check our inventory. Maybe take a few minutes and make a complete shopping list. Think about meal planning. Consider how full the fridge and freezer are...

I do our grocery shopping and I do make a list. However, I wish DH would consider things like fridge/freezer space when telling me what he wants on our menu for the week. This week he put both spaghetti and chili on there. Both are huge batches that we typically freeze leftovers. We have maybe 1 square inch of freezer space right now.
I recently did a freezer cleanout like 4 months ago and I think I need to do another already.
eponinepontmercy, I would recommend a digital list, BUT my husband likes to update while I'm at the store and then gets mad when it doesn't update immediately on my end and I don't always come home with everything. And I tell him, I have 90% of the list memorized when I walk through the door and check it 1-2x while shopping. So don't @ me bro.
I also have a canker sore under my tongue. Who else shares the misery of canker sores?
I do, something I inherited from my dad. Mainly during times of high stress, but also before my cycles. There were times when I could have around 4 at once. They really are the worst!
I'm hesitant to say anything because I don't want to jinx it, but I'm also so relieved I have to let something out 😅
I just found out I'm one month away from paying off a major debt. I had to take out a personal loan to pay for rehab, and I've been paying it off for years. I have so many good feelings about finally putting it all behind me I almost want to cry!
The extra money in the budget will be nice too, but not having this monthly reminder of bad times and struggle is giving me a huge mood boost right now 🙂
Mole excised and now hoping dearly for good path results including I do not have to go back for more. 🥺

Did they biopsy before removal? I had a large mole removed from my back, I had about 10 stitches. It was atypical but not anywhere close to pre-cancerous. Hopeful you get results quickly and that all is well. It’s nerve wracking for sure!! I don’t get canker sores, but my H does, they seem SO painful!
It was biopsied in July and dx as moderately atypical. I’m just nervous they will discover they are wrong and it’s cancer after all. And also that they will say they didn’t get it all so I have to come back.
mofongo, after a quick google, it appears to be art made popular from a 2011 Comic Con. It is vinyl and 16" long.
I looked at it on rex.haus. The 16 reviews are hilarious! Like...
This toy was by far the best I ever owned out of my 40+ collection . I grab this one every single damm time! Because it gets the job done.
I’ve always wanted to make love to a banana
Instructions and description unclear....wife is now filling for divorce
I bought this for my sister's dog. What came in the mail is only about 8 inches long. I was expecting bigger. But I gave it to my sister for her birthday. She really seems to enjoy it. Although she took it to her room and didn't emerge for about 2 hours only to come out soaked in sweat. The funny thing is she didn't even take the dog with her, she just liked playing with it by herself. I've never seen a bigger smile on her face. Worth the money? Absolutely
My friends and I play live action Kart racing but find that regular bananas have never caused racers to wipeout. Then I found this Ultraviolent Mecha Banana. Let me tell you, after purchasing this, our play time has never been more exciting. It’s really improved my handling and attention to detail because once you pull one of these bad boys from your inventory and it’s flying at the person in front of you, you can hear the sphincters slamming shut. If this hits from behind, it’s doing some serious damage to either the kart, the racer, or both.
There was a shooting last night at the beach a mile and a half from me. So many sirens and helicopters. Police units from about 6 neighboring towns and the LA Sheriff came to help. Apparently it was in the open space on the pier so people ran into the restaurants to shelter in place. From the reports the only one dead is the shooter, who was taken down by an officer. Several others were injured and taken to the local hospital. First hand reports say the shooter was standing there and then pulled a gun and just started randomly shooting.

How are you feeling physically this morning? (I’m guessing your mental/emotional state is the same since you’re still waiting.).

Got my Peloton and love it. I wasn't expecting it to be so huge though, much bigger than my old bike, so we might have to reconsider where we placed it.
We are spending next week in the Poconos and...rain and storms like half the week forecasted so far. *cries*
I have called out sick 5 days in a row and I'm dreading Tbe fall out when I go back. I had a fever, sore throat, and trouble breathing. Now I am down to breathing. I know I did the right thing and hate that productivity culture makes me feel guilty for putting my health first.
