Day 141........an irate yours truly.

Day 141........an irate yours truly.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

I had big plans for getting a whole bunch of editing done yesterday but changed course and decided to write a resume (CV) instead. The adult education people were asking for one and so it felt better to just get it done and mailed and who knows, I may soon be leading some adult Ed' classes in mindfulness.
I googled for sites that did free templates for resumes, seeing as how I hadn't done one for years and found a few. I happily spent hours, reliving my working-past and trying to remember exactly when it was that I worked where. Completing the resume, I went on to complete a cover letter, which they also require (plus a proposal which I am just going to copy from my original letter to them)
On completion of my hard days work, I was horrified to find that I had to pay the site money to download, print or indeed simply email the flippin' thing to myself. Grrrr. I was a very angry elf although the anger was quickly replaced by a need for justice. (perhaps I need some Vervain)
I did a Live chat with the site and she was apologetic but said that it clearly said on initial page that it was just a free trial to try out the templates. I told her that I was unimpressed and that I would be warning others of the misleading information of the site, concluding with my acknowledgement that it was not her personal fault and wished her a great day.
Still burning with a need for my day not to have been wasted, I posted on a couple of consumer complaint sites, my concerns about the misleading info and my silver lining was that I discovered that some other folk had given credit-card details and had great difficulty in getting the site to stop taking payments. I had no intention of paying for the resume and so was never in danger from that point of view but I can see how people, after investing a lot of time and effort into creating their resume, would just bite the bullet and pay to have it.
I have the text, that I used but it is just a mish mash of words now and so today, I will try to format it myself.
Yesterday, yet again, disappeared. Alison was (and has been) very tired readjusting to school and work. She was exhausted on Wednesday night and was in bed by nine-thirty. When I woke her at seven, yesterday, she groaned as usual. twenty minutes later she sent me a text (yes, from the basement) to ask if she could skip first period. I am so glad that I don't worry what folk will think, these days or confine myself to the strictness of societys rules all the time. The old me would have forced her out of her bed, spouting how she could spend less time on her phone, getting homework done earlier etc, etc, etc but nowadays....not so much.
I don't want her to get sick and tiredness leads to sickness. Missing a 'Film-class' is not the end of the earth. I think that she was probably stunned when I asked what time she wanted reawoken (is that a word?) This morning she got up far more easily. I had put Olive into her remedy mix on Wedneday morning and I'm sure that it will be helping, as well as a wee bit more time in bed.
She could have had today off but she is helping out for 'Audition-Day'. It hardly seems like a full year since she auditioned for her place. She will get credit for volunteering. They have to do a certain number of volunteer-hours to graduate and today felt like fun for her.
We watched the second last Twilight movie early, so that Ali could get to bed sharp. Last one tonight and then I ought to get knitting that blanket for Jen.
My thermometer is heading in the wrong direction.......again. It'll be colder by this evening than it was this morning. Brrr. Currently I am curled up under my blanket with Jens hot water bottle. I hear her getting up and I will give her both to coorie with, when she appears.
I will close now and get on with that CV. Wish me luck,
