I Unfucked My Habitat!

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").

Well, that's an issue with which I can empathize but not assist. It's my biggest problem with my resume, too -- that on paper I'm perfectly qualified for programming/software engineering jobs, but I hate (and am bad at) programming, so it never ends well. I've gotten the occasional interview for a software job, too, back when I was bothering to apply for them, and each time there'd be a coding interview and it would destroy me because, no. Ugh. So yeah, I hear you; it sucks.

At least you were in sales, though! That must mean you have good communication skills and suchlike. Talk that up in your cover letters; employers love that stuff. (So I hear. Those are not exactly soft skills I can boast, personally, so I don't know from experience.)
