Didn't have enough cheese, and flaked canned ham does not a good omelette meat make… but still! I made an omelette!!! Sadly we were too hungry to stop and take pictures. But it was quite the yummified egg-cheese-ham creation!
So far I've ordered a 500gb external hard drive online (did that on Xmas day) and just this morning I ordered 100 blank CD's, 100 blank DVD's & 2 cordless phones. And I still have one more thing I plan on buying. Bah-humbug!
I’m just thinking, this may be a short post. I’ve been a pretty privileged girl growing up (And continuing to grow up… and be privileged) and just thinking of all the jobs I’ve ever had. Granted, I didn’t really have my first job until I hit 17 because my parents didn’t want me working, I was supposed to do the normal chinese thing, study hard and be 110% on everything in school.
So here’s the list of jobs I’ve held ever since I was able to hold a job:
Considering I’ve only been working for about the past 8 or so years… that seems like a pretty hefty list! I feel bad sometimes that I could probably write a resume to impress almost anyone no matter what the job is. I even wrote up a resume to get myself a bottom of the barrel retail job, complete with little hearts for bullets… that I didn’t end up using because I was afraid I would get a job before my partner, who was pretty desperate to look for work while I really had no intentions of finding a real job
Just got me thinking…
Dinner was lovely. Thanks to those who invited me, cooked for hours, explained what you're supposed to eat with what, and why, and everyone else who came to hang out!
The show was… it was good. It was empty, but it was good.
So at this point I’ve already quit my job at the tile company but I’m still curious to see what people write on their resumes. This one gentleman, quite cute, somewhat young-ish, brought in a very simple resume that stated his address, his education, and the last three places of employment.
Strangely enough, he started his eduction with the least impressive, and moved to his most impressive. He started at his high school, then a college course, and finished with how he belongs in an association. Unrelated to tiles, but still more impressive than high school.
His employment background was confusing, there was the names of companies, then a brief paragraph on each job that he held. And named people’s names, and contact phone numbers if available. I’d always learned this is a big no-no. Although, I will admit I personally found it amusing to read in a resume “Owners X and Y no idea how to reach them now.”
I think the strangest part was this part of his resume which stated (and I quote):
I also have a ten year old son and play on soccer and hockey teams. Previous to 2003 like most young people had a few different jobs in factories and construction and have a little bit of knowledge in a few different fields.
Hrm. I guess I missed the memo that to be like most young people, I need to work in factories and construction. I’ve never worked in either.
