This project....this project I got an award for this week... this project that has been an unending source of frustration and which has cemented a certain groups' reputation as the worst communicators ever ... this project that is not actually finished... this project is trying to kill me. In increments.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

I have EVERY DAY OFF.
Dammit.
Which is what I came here to ask about, actually.
I've stopped being picky about jobs that are actually interesting and within my skill set (teaching, etc) and am now just applying for whatever looks like it wouldn't suck too badly.
However...I've sent about 12 resumes out for admin/receptionist jobs, some retail stuff, and haven;t heard back.
Is it bad form to downgrade yourself, by NOT including a degree or two? I'm thinking about taking the MA's off the resume for some jobs. I don't even know anymore. This economy sucks, and it sure as hell doesn't help that KCMO school district laid off over 300 teachers this year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you want to look at delicious organisation possibilities, Burrell, mine is delicious.com/[ljhandle]. None of the content will be of interest to you, but I've tried to be hard core about tagging and using tag bundles, so it might give you and idea of potential.

Sorry about the job situation. 300 teachers, geez. The scary thing is that it could get far, far worse if the earnings tax is voted down.

Burrell, no guilt allowed. We all cannot fix everything, we can just recognize there is a lot to fix and try to do something.

I work Veteran's Day, and do get the day after Thanksgiving off.
This is me, all part of my companies wacky holiday/vacation policy. Sometimes I really miss the investment consulting firm where we had all federal holidays (and Patriots Day), 2 personal days, 10 sick days, and started with 3 weeks vacation, which went up to 4 after three years.

Thanks ita, I'll check it out.
Burrell, no guilt allowed.
Guilt is funny that way, msbelle. I tell my students and my kids to let go of their guilt, but I have a hard time doing it myself. But yes, I agree with you.

I was going to take half days today and tomorrow, but my boss is already taking both days off completely, and I have to cover. I'll be taking Friday off instead, so that's good.
