'cause I didn't realise nettles stung and apples weren't all white
Ugh, morning came so early today. I'm just wiped out this morning. We had our Curse of Strahd game last night, and then I had to get up early for my 4 hours of work, and then immediately afterwards, I need to get ready for our Mad Mage game, which commences 30 min later. I may be insane to have planned this. After I finish typing this out, I'll take the few minutes to prep for Mad Mage, so you know, short one today.
Work was busy, but not horribly so. Just steady. I got a few patients in fast, which made me happy. I like it when I can get sick people seen asap. We did find out one thing this week. One of the guys who's one level above me has gotten promoted to manager of another department. So, there's a job opening soon. I waffled about putting in for it, but ultimately decided there was no downside. I probably won't get it, since I've literally been in the job for only 7 months. But if I put in, I'm giving notice that I do eventually want to advance. And that can't hurt.
I 100% expect to get feedback that If this position had come up in another 6 months, we'd be having a different conversation, but that right now, I need more seasoning. But I'm going to go for it with all the confidence of a mediocre white man, and see where we go. It would be lovely if I got it. Probably not a ton more per hour, maybe a dollar or two? Still, it would be lovely.
I spent time redoing my resume, which is now 2 pages. Hopefully, I described the shit I do for Hopkins well.
A friend sent me a resume to review, because she's been getting no nibbles on it. She's used various services, and I gotta say, she needs to get her money back. It's too many words, and some improperly used words, and it's just...bad. I'd toss it aside too if I was the hiring manager.
So, I'm going to spend some time working on that after game and probably tomorrow morning. It would be easier if I just went in and edited it, but we'll see. I emailed her back asking if she just wants comments, or if she wants me to just edit the way I would suggest? I'm hoping she says to just edit it, because someone needs to. I'm going to feel bad, because I'm excising over 50% of the prose, but it's just not of the good.
Okay, time for me to do some reading of the Mad Mage module and get myself together. Everyone have the most awesome Saturday!

I took a resume class through the employment department because it was free and it has really helped me.
