Learning!

Down-side: Because of weird hidden library errors, it just took me 5 hours to print my resume to PDF.

Up-side: I can now debug all kinds of shit on my mac using command-line programming shenanigans on the Terminal app I did not previously know existed.

Which is good, because at about hour 2 I felt like my entire resume was a lie. (I HAVE NO COMPUTER SKILLS AND CANNOT TROUBLESHOOT OR SOLVE PROBLEMS CREATIVELY AND SO ALL THAT IS LEFT IS FILING.)

Conclusion: I'm pretty sure 90% of my admin superpowers are just effective googling skills.

I feel that way about my job as well. Everyone thinks I'm a computer genius when I regularly just Google "How do I do X?"

BUT. YOU GET POINTS FOR KNOWING WHAT TO EVEN ASK. *awards you seventy*

Oh if you need a proofreader for your resume or a cover letter for anything, let me know. I got skills, baby! Not of my own, but other people's lives? I can spin into the finest Egyptian cotton.

Hi, I've driven like 1500 miles in the last 5 days and have not slept nearly enough and I'm completely freaked out about how much money I just spent so I'M A LITTLE NUTS RIGHT NOW. kthxbye.

I'm continually amazed how many people have zero effective googling skills, honestly. It's a real superpower!
