Please excuse me while I shake my fist and then rework my resume.

My legs are all like "Agh, why were you walking all day instead of biking??" My feet are feeling fine - no blisters, not sore. This means that I bought the appropriate type and size of new sneakers. Hurray ( Read more... )

On a related note to my previous post it deeply bothers me that a) my computer skills are so much higher than my coworkers (one of my coworkers just stated she would 'triple my pay' if she could) and b) that most jobs doing this sort of problem-solving work (admin assistant/executive assistant/personal assistant) are considered to require a ( Read more... )
