These are the tedious things that get in the way

I just spent an enormous amount of time retyping my resume into a “text only” version for a company that doesn’t like the word format. However, now that it is done, it will be easy to maintain.

Time for snack break and to rest my eyes from this monitor. When I come back, quickly copy a cover letter and shoot it off along with this text only resume.

Listening Pleasure

Today’s listening for productivity is “The Very Best Of Todd Rundgren.” When I was gandering the CDs I saw “Al Green Greatest Hits” and could not hold back a chuckle because I read it as “Al Greenspan’s Greatest Hits” and parody and music titles like “Easy Money” “Money for Nothing” “The Rates Are Going Up” “Under Wallstreet (to the tune of Under the Boardwalk)” etc came to mind.

Here’s a concept I missed

Usually my good friend and I are exceptional at predicting trends in technology. I completely missed this one! Your retail stores like Home Depot, Target etc go through such turnover that they are now require applicants to sit a terminal to apply. The interesting thing is this terminal simply goes to an Internet job site so you no longer have to get dressed to apply for minimum wage jobs because you can do it from the convenience of your house!

You might be a redneck post sorta implied that I got the Jeep stuck in my own backyard. Well… I might have been driving it through a spot that I’ve planned to put a gray water discharge so there is an L shaped trench and two deep holes. The arrows show the intended path of the Jeep. The circles show the 4 axle deep holes that the 4 cooresponding wheels of the Jeep ended up in. Ooops. (really 2 holes and a trench) Posted by Hello

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

I want to go back into the warm bed. My mind is racing because there is so much I need to be doing. It’s hard to be calm when it feels like all the walls are crumbling around you. I need to spend 2 hours at a temporary agency to get a job that won’t pay my bills and will get in the way of me making sales calls but .. oh I don’t know.

Tonight I deal craps at a mock casino although what I will get paid will probably just cover gas with a little let over.
