Random Thoughts X (The 9th Regeneration)

Ack. 10:09. I was catching up....I apologize.

One travel sized mug of coffee, two large glasses of water, a Camelbak bottle full of water, and a peach iced tea from Sonic. So, successful day one. And I know I need to cut back sodium/carbs, but with my schedule, and husband's schedule, makes it a smidge difficult. I know there are ways around it, and I could figure it out, but my priorities are somewhere else right now. (ummm...digging deep for a new job...also meaning a move)

So, GR8, I'm gonna give you a website that's been extremely helpful to me. askamanager.com (It's an advice blog, but it also has stuff about resumes and the like) It basically boils down to that on your resume, you should list your accomplishments within your job, not your duties. And usually, with online applications nowadays, they ask for what your job duties are/were. She also goes into if your job doesn't necessarily have goals or accomplishments. (Like a receptionist or an office manager, who don't have sales goals to meet or ongoing projects to work on)

Oh, and resumes being more flashy or graphic...unless I'm a graphic designer or artist or hiring one, wouldn't do it. If a company wants to hire me or someone because I/they have a flashy resume and not because of the substance of a resume, I don't think I want to work for them.

On a positive note I vacuumed out window sills of lady bugs and opened up house. Also found good bike helmet and gloves. Used my old helmet for road ride yesterday, and bare headed it over the weekend while trail riding.
 
Action verbs leading off all your work responsibility/accomplishment lines. I think I'm decent at resume editing if you want extra eyes on it. Helped DH a lot cause it's always hard to talk yourself up. Also he didn't care about **** like "Created" vs. "Developed".

He got lots of interviews. All me, I'm sure.


Also, the resumes I've seen coming in from college kids/new hires are pretty much the same as what I put out 10 years ago so I don't think much has changed for the non-visual arts aligned people

Is this an example of your resume editing? :).
 
So my SIL and BIL are moving to the Orlando/Tampa area just because. Whatevs I am not heart broken. So they are down there this week with my MIL looking for jobs and apartments. SIL posted a picture of BIL going to second interviews today and he was wearing a dress shirt and tie. I texted MrsWx that I was shocked that he even owned anything like that since I have never seen him anything other than sweats or hipster stuff other than their hipster wedding. Her response "He didn't. She texted last week to see what you liked and what he should wear."

anybody have/decent at photoshop and want to edit a picture for me? I have a picture from Scotland that I like, but our rental car is in it. It's down to this one or another that would be a large print for our wall but I want to get rid of the wee car if I can.

Or if there's something else that I could try - I've seen some stuff for using Paint but I'm pretty bad with paint. The car is small and not overly obtrusive to the photo, but it's white. If it were gray or black I'd probably let it be.

Could you post the picture? It might be something really easy if we could see it.

Leave the car in the photo that way you'll be able to show lil CG/DH where they were started at ;).

lol, that car is so tiny. In the non car picture, one of the hiking trails we did is visible, including the large swath of slate I thought we could climb. Dh likes pointing that out now. I tell him it didn't look nearly that high when I started at the bottom.

I like how the link to the first one says USexxM.

Anyway, first one is way better, even with the car in there.

hahahahaha, I hadn't even noticed the URL. That's pretty good.

But I'm hung up on the fact that these are pictures of the "Three Sisters" of Glencoe and car pic only shows two. Also, there are misty ones but DH thinks they cover too much. So Scottish looking though.
 
So for any computer nerds in here:

My wifi on my laptop keeps disabling. Like, not just disconnecting from my wifi, but it will suddenly say I don't even have wifi capability because it can't detect the hardware. It just randomly does this and I have to restore the system to a prior date just to get it to work again. It did it last week then again last night, but has already done it twice this morning.

Any ideas what's going on with it? It is an old laptop (got it around 2011, 2012-ish) so I guess it may be crapping out on me. I just hate to buy a new one because I've had zero other problems with this before this stuff started happening last week.

My opinion is strictly from an aesthetic perspective and not a historic one.

I'd be interested to see the misty ones.

I like the road one too, so does DH. I really like pictures with roads in them and valleys that go into the picture. I know the road one is probably the nicer one but my brain says YOU NEED TO GET ALL THREE MOUNTAINS. So my compromise to myself is I have to get rid of the car.

here is an updated look with some misty ones plus a few of the other shots we are considering for hanging up. Also bonus Highland coo for @ImJustKCClone

though honestly, the more I look at coo picture, the more I like it. Be cute in a baby's room, ha.

ETA: just click the black box of doom, it goes to it. Can't get it to work prettily.
