		<description>Hi &lt;b&gt;mom&lt;/b&gt;.  Thanks for the offer.  

Actually, it&#039;s proofed alright (i.e. error wise) but it&#039;s more of being at issue stylistically for the job market and such.  Not to mention I am thinking of crafting different types for the &quot;type&quot; of job that I may want to do...if different from what I&#039;ve done in the past? But that is so headache inducing, you know? Also, since I am not really ready for the application process &lt;i&gt;yet&lt;/i&gt;, it may have to wait until I start doing the searching.

However, some kind of &quot;template&quot; might be good to have if I want to make it &quot;different?&quot; And what I whipped up for now was more content oriented.  That&#039;s all I focussed upon.  

So, yes.  Design wise? Ick! I need to straighten that out.  Definitely! I just did a quick and dirty.  But I did realise today some missing content.

Shit.

I am going to have to do a lot of reviewing at &quot;Fix Me Up,&quot; that is for sure!

And my damn business cards! I&#039;m working on that as well because--did I mention this? I think so in a &quot;ranty, spastic, spew-it-all-out post.&quot;  Trying to come up with some &quot;catchy, notice me&quot; message as I have to delete certain fields from &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; templates as I am unemployed.

But a message that doesn&#039;t make me sound like a total idiot.  No cornball, cheese-muffin crap, right? Could you imagine something totally banal like: &quot;Have a Nice Day!&quot; or &quot;It Was A Pleasure to Meet You!&quot;

Good grief.  Say goodbye to my professional future. *laughing*

I do kind of like the design I picked.  And I&#039;m going vertical, not horizontal.  Everyone (well, the vast majority is horizontal?)

Oh! More crazy networking? Right beside &quot;Fix Me Up&quot; is a sister company/affiliate that is a search firm.  I was making myself a tea and started chatting with a gentleman who worked there.  I had to keep it brief as we were just on a short break from session.  He was very friendly.  The most friendly one I had met from the affiliate company to date (the coffee, tea and what not is in their kitchen; &quot;Fix Me Up&quot; doesn&#039;t have one but the areas are all interconnected obviously.)

So, a bit about me and yes...when business cards ready, resume too...pass along to him.  He gave me his card.  I looked at it as I was walking away...

...he was the fucking VP of the company!!!

AHHHH!!!

I spoke to one of the coaches from &quot;Fix Me Up&quot; and she said oh,  he&#039;s great...sure...you should definitely talk to him.

Again, I&#039;ve got to get my silly business cards.  It is so true how things have changed.  It really &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; about networking.  Or so I am finding? I think?</description>

		<description>Hi &lt;b&gt;Adelyn/Brigitte&lt;/b&gt;...I&#039;m sorry but no go.  I don&#039;t know WTF with Akismet.  At least they &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; getting caught in my Spam queue so I am getting you!

Hi &lt;b&gt;darkentries&lt;/b&gt;.  Oh, you make me laugh (like a lot of the time?) Not that I am laughing at your mentalness.  However, as I always say, we need to try and do that from time to time? Relieve the pressure?

&quot;Distortotron.&quot;  We&#039;re getting all sci-fi with this.  Which is fine in my books! I called myself a Borg.  You&#039;re now sounding like a robot? 

OMG.  In my last post (although I was being very serious) I made a reference to Troy from Star Trek: TNG!

Perhaps with me getting all stressed and &quot;Distorted,&quot; I need to get in my &quot;Escape Pod&quot; and fly back to Vulcan for a bit.  Not right now though--especially not right now.  I&#039;ve been trying to whip through a) my post and b) these comments, as I &lt;i&gt;have got&lt;/i&gt; to finish my resume draft BY TONIGHT!

There &lt;b&gt;Gabriel...&lt;/b&gt;.  Some block caps for you.  Hehe.

It&#039;s really deadlined by tomorrow night, I suppose but that would be me just stretching my procrastination.  It would also translate it into a DEADline.

It&#039;s killing me.  No, it is.  Remember when I was talking about trying to put my Writer&#039;s Bio (being unpublished) together? Ah, piece of cake! My resume? It is FUBAR.  Or beyond, the beyond if that is possible.

However, in a &quot;true writer&#039;s style&quot; (not that I am...ahem...a writer), I&#039;ll betcha I&#039;ll DEADline it.

Shit.</description>

		<description>Oh well. I am all of those things. Those are pretty much all my problems aside from the social anxiety. What does that make me? A distortotron?</description>

		<description>Hi &lt;b&gt;mom&lt;/b&gt;.  Interesting that you should identify with that one? I remember in &quot;Group,&quot; everyone discussing, &quot;Theirs.&quot;

I can&#039;t vouch for the book, however.  We were just given a couple of pages so you might want to check it out beforehand and see if it might be a good fit for you.  I only like to get into discussing &quot;full volumes&quot; if I&#039;ve read them and then I can say how they have impacted me and what I found most useful, interesting etc...  And believe me! That is rare these days! I haven&#039;t finished a book in...

Well, I absconded with a few from hospital and I did manage to actually finish one in a few months.  It was &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; difficult, though.  It was also fiction so another point against.  PA is a non-fiction reader unless the story can really captivate her or for whatever reason (author?) she is determined to read it.

Ah, stability...failure...  Well, I do know that I am &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; perfect.  That is for sure! I suppose I just don&#039;t want to be...wow...

I can think of so many words, places, things.  Probably best just not to think of them at all!</description>

		<description>Yup, that&#039;s all me, especially the last one- doing everything in &quot;shoulds&quot;. I think I have to get this book.  Marissa over at depression introspection posted a great list about procrastination and perfectionism a few days ago. I wrote in the comments that I was going to print it out and laminate it and put it in every room so I would remember. 

PA, the unknown is scary, and when we are always trying to do things in the &quot;shoulds&quot; i.e., the perfectionist, it is scary because we think we&#039;re going to fail, so why bother. 

I wish I had stability, too. Right now the most stable things in my life are this computer keyboard, and a chocolate bar. ;-)</description>
