I Unfucked My Habitat!

[clex_monkie89]

Part of it anyway, at least. Today was my day off, so me and Ma went shopping and bought ALL THE THINGS. Except hangers. Then we came home and I cleaned off the kitchen table that was horrific, and my side table, which was not as horrific but still bothered me.

Tomorrow we tackle all the cabinets in the kitchen, and the bathrooms.

I also managed to get enough hours switched and traded that I did three hours of work tonight so that I would have my morning shift on Thursday free to go with Ma to her doctor again. Legit just about the only thing I like about my job is that it's work-at-home and that I have a split shift, so I work 9a-1p my time, and then 4p-8p. So it's like getting a three hour lunch in the middle of getting screamed at by morons!

P.S. Anyone know how to make a shitty resume look good? Or any kind of cover letter? I've gotten desparate enough to be seeking info from websites, even when I know they're full of shit (my cover letter REEKS of "PLEASE HIRE ME FOR ANYTHING AT ALL, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE").

This is actually super helpful, I mostly apply through jobing.com, so between that and the fact that the majority of my experience is sales and I try to apply for everything but that, the cover letter is what I need the most and what I am the least confident in.

I actually did not realize that the cover letter didn't have to be limited specifically to the work history. That is going to help a LOT.

Oh lol. Look how I fail at LJ these days. I'm glad that was helpful, though! I mean, I kind of feel like cover letters are all about bullshitting. However you can make what you've done sound like what they want is fair game. I run into trouble, though, with things I can do but are difficult to prove. Like, I can say that I'm a fast learner and will not take much time to train, but they can't really know that until they, um, try to train me. Or, my favorite, I would be super in some kind of social media position, but I'm not even slightly willing to give a business access to my twitter or tumblr. So ... no :-P
