Anyway, I'm working on updating my resume. I guess Times New Roman is now considered a no-no for resumes?
Wait...what?
Fortunately the employer I'm starting with in two weeks didn't see the article you linked either so I still got hired. Or it could just be that we're lawyers so "unadventurous and mundane"/"boring and unimaginative" doesn't bother us all that much.
We still create documents using Courier...unadventurous and unimaginative are par for the course, ha. I think if I sent a resume for a law job with any sort of creativity whatsoever, it would immediately be tossed into the shredder!

Here's the original article that the HuffPo article was referencing:
According to Bloomberg Business TNR is considered staid and dated. This story made the rounds on social media and LinkedIn, so I decided to change it on my resume.
Our two year anniversary is next week and I'm really struggling to come up with a good gift idea for DH. He is so hard to buy for! 2 years is "cotton" and I'm not even coming up with any creative ideas to incorporate that. What have you gotten for your SO recently that they loved?

Cotton is a good one for clothing, obviously...idk if your H is into sports at all or has any particular idols but I recently got MH a throwback Larry Bird Celtics jersey (because he is obsessed to this day with that guy) and he loved it!

How about an experience? I love buying DH tickets to things - NY Jets, beerfests, etc.
I also really like the idea of clothes if you're trying to incorporate Cotton. I recently got him a pair of camo cargo shorts that he's obsessed with. I also got him a personalized Jets jersey last year for Christmas.

I got MH pajama pants for our 2 year anniversary. He had none (which was crazy to me!) and now really likes them cause they are so soft. My sister got us a present in a gift bag filled with cotton balls which was funny and my grandma got us toilet paper. She laughed so hard - it was cute.
Just got a random text from someone I don't know. It's a fairly graphic picture of someone's face that looks to have gotten into a fist fight. I responded back that I thought they had the wrong number. Then they called me and demanded that I let them speak to Nancy.
Bitch, I do not know who Nancy is. This is not her number. Stop texting me graphic pictures. JFC.
I have some freelance writing that is due soon. But so much writers block. I'm having such a hard time writing but at this point I feel like ANYTHING has to be better than nothing.
Today was crazy at work. I sat at my desk and did my usual Monday assignment. An hour and a half later my boss comes up to me and asks me to do something completely different. Now everyone thinks I'm doing my regular Monday assignment plus the additional work. An email was sent too. Does no one read emails here?
This weekend went by too fast. This week is going to be crazy busy for me. I have work today and tomorrow. Wednesday I come in from 7-10 then leave for my pre-op appointment which is an hour, come back at 1pm and work until 4pm. I hope I get out from the pre op appointment a little earlier so I can stop and see MH and give my dog some cuddles before I head back to work! Thursday is my surgery and Friday I may or may not come back to work, I'm going to play it by ear.
Ugh. Spending the holiday Monday trying to get things off our list - finished our wedding thank you notes FINALLY.
Then I tried to put together a picture frame with the polaroids from our guests (we did that instead of a guestbook) and as soon as I got it all together the glass all shattered. Now I've wasted all my time and have to start over.
I watched the last season of Greys Anatomy and since I hadn't kept up, I've gone back a few seasons and started to watch. I'm on season 10 and I really need to tell someone how much it bothers me that all the music is revamped 80's music done to slow piano and breathy vocals. First off, there are some songs that shouldn't be done i.e. Sister Christain and Like a Virgen. And second, didn't the first couple seasons feature new or relatively unknown artists? Wasn't that a highlight to the show?
I just fb stalked the twins' birth mom. It made me all kinds of ragey!
Why? What'd you find?
She posts all this bullshit about her kids as though they still live with her. Plus there are several comments that make it seem as though she is trying to get pregnant. Because a 6th child seems needed when 5 have been removed from the home.
Alright, passport card question. Since I was just able to change my name, I haven't applied for a new passport/card yet. Will they let me cross the boarder to Canada with my old one as long as it isn't expired?

We did new bedding and I bought a pillow with our wedding song on it from etsy.

As long as it isn't expired you are fine.
That is what I thought. It is the only proof that you need, correct? So they wouldn't actually know that my name has changed.

I currently binge watching season 5 on Netflix. Love
I've had an absurd headache (maybe migraine? I shy from classifying my pain that way, but I'm probably just being tough??) today and usually feeling like crap clears up around lunchtime, but I'm still feeling like the dead. The very ill dead. Nausea, dizziness, and inability to concentrate have been my companions today.
And that's even with taking a midday nap during lunch! (And eating lunch at my desk afterwards.)

Nausea and dizziness points to migraine. Try to find some Excedrin migraine and go lay down in a dark room when you get home. No screens.
If you have anything with caffeine nearby, try that with either acetaminophen or aspirin. (Excedrin migraine is caffeine plus both of those things).
I had chronic migraines growing up. I feel your pain. I hope you start feeling better soon!

I have Excedrin Extra Strength at home, but I'm not sure how it's going to interact with the antibiotics I'm taking for my HSG tomorrow. I think I'll just take some ibuprofin and have a nap, hope that it becomes less insufferable, and pray it doesn't continue to tomorrow. I get migraines so infrequently, I'm never prepared to deal with them when they happen. Serendipitously, we decided to turn the lights off in the wing I work in today, to keep it cool, so that's been nice. I also had a Coke and took a nap during lunch, so I'm doing what I can with my limited resources.
At least it's only two more hours until I'm home. x_x

I don't know about migraines, but a few times when I've had a really bad headache and nausea a cold compress on the back of my neck seems to help.
