Well, I mean, they're kinda ok. *Slugs back some Toffee Coffee* Wheeeee! I LOVE those!

George is at the vet. As suspected, he was pretty confused when I took away the water. "Et tu, Hu-Man?" he said.

Wait, that doesn't really work. That would be what he would have said if a whole bunch of other people screwed him, and then I took away his kitty fountain. Uh...you know that other famous quote, the one referencing how you in particular have betrayed me yet again? That's what he said. Honest.

I would like to go on record as saying my Gold membership officially rocks. I got one because it seemed the easiest way to do all the stuff I wanted to do with my new layout. Oh, and because I really appreciate the tremendous work Andrew does to keep this place running, or something.

In addition to all that, though, I gots me some stats now. Stats are the best. Check out what I found in my referrer logs last night. No, really. Go check out that other guy. Follow the links for a while. Trippy, non?

So, the schedule for the week is up. I'm back on six shifts a week, five of them closing. I told Nick, "Hey, I've told you this before. I really don't like closing. I like 11-4 during the week, and weekend mornings." He assured me that this was just for this week. I wonder what he told Nina.

I closed yesterday too, so I snagged the classified section on my way out. Then I came home and began paging through the Resume book I checked out of the library last week.

The very first thing I read was, "Omit mention of inappropriate or undignified jobs." You know what? That's all I've got, homeslice. Crap.

I typed it all out anyway, and felt even worse. I've had six different employers in the last eight years. I know that there were extenuating circumstances, but it still doesn't look good. D. pointed out that they were also all high turnover positions, and the important thing is that every single one of them would give me a good reference.

Well, maybe.

There was nothing listed yesterday that screamed out THIS IS YOUR DREAM JOB!! but there were a few that mentioned they weren't looking for experience. What I need to do is find out who I know has experience with this sort of thing. I've never actually made a resume before. Maybe it wouldn't suck quite so much if I had a better idea of what I was doing. Maybe I'm missing something obvious that will somehow cast a rosy glow over what an idiot I've been since I graduated.
