What are you doing today?

Finished work for the evening. Now do I make a hot chocolate to take to bed? Decisions, decisions…..

That decision has already been made, methinks. I cannot imagine that you would not prepare a mug of hot chocolate to take to bed.

For me, a second mug of piping hot tea (and a chocolate biscuit or two...) are called for.

Here, the barometer has plunged. Ugh.

And Other Brother phoned - we discussed our cousin, and we agreed that - as children - we had "idolised" him.

Outside the wind is howling. Bins are out for the morning. Hope they are not blown all over the place. Especially as ours is never that full.

Howling here, too.

My blanket is on, and I am about to make a second cup of tea. Then, bed beckons.

Earlier, (not long ago) I checked that the bins (due out next week) are safely tucked away in their respective niches.

Never sweets before bed, I say. Not for me. A sugar crash tends to ensue, and I end up wide awake wanting something else to eat in the middle of the damn night. So at most I might have a teaspoon of peanut butter or a bit of cheese on a cracker awhile before heading upstairs if I've stayed up fairly late but had eaten supper rather early.

Only in deepest, darkest, dreariest winter do biscuits and chocolate in any way succeed in seducing me.

Normally, if I fancy a nocturnal snack, it would take the form of cheese and bread, or cheese and crackers.
 
Kicking around different ways/methods to deckle fine art paper.
 
Yesterday, just as I was coming home, FedEx delivered the last of the Christmas presents for our grandkids: a Comfy Dream wearable blanket.

Since my mom is in her 80s and doesn’t do much online shopping, I had ordered her presents for the kids as well. So I separated them and then took her presents over to her place.

I also informed her about one grandchild who’s 9 who’s suddenly taken to having two or three crying jags during the day. He doesn’t understand why. Depression runs in our family, and anxiety in my son-in-law’s, so I hope that’s not it.

Make sure to drop some random fact about yourself right in the middle, and by fact, I mean, something completely fabricated.

  • Increased sales at branch 15% year over year from 2016-2021
  • Implemented employee training program for branch, adopted by corporate for company-wide rollout
  • Provided stunt ass for David Duchovny in the series Californication

Yeah, in retrospect, waking up a few nights ago at 3a, opening a bottle of wine, reheating pizza and turning on Christmas Vacation was __not__ a good idea.

"Are you awake?"

"Yes"

"There's pizza left, right?"

"Yeah, about half, I'll grab a bottle of wine, Xmas Vacay?"

Why? Do recruiters like a good laugh as much as anyone?

On a serious note, is a three page CV too long?

Thanks for the Duchovny line, good one!

I know you didn’t implement an employee training program…. So congrats on the TV ”role”…

I’ve always been told it is, unless you’re applying for some job that requires a high academic/skill level, such as medical researcher.

A standard resume, though, should fit on one page. Recruiters go through a lot of them and want them to be concise.

I’m some ways it’s like writing a TV commercial, where you often try to tell a story in 30 seconds. You need to get the point across and do it economically.

Not sure which you’re actually asking about.
 
Oh, this morning we went for a run on the beach, dropped off the little G, headed right over, beautiful sunrise, shot a fun slow motion of a huge flock of Berts (aka, birds ....), found a couple of decent shells.

From a previous pic, this was very good, basically a solid hazy IPA with some blueberry notes, you can kind of see the slight blue tint in the photo :)
