zesty_pintoI hit a wall. I've been looking for other work to do since my job is relatively hands off and I've been having trouble finding a way to sell myself with these jobs and after I ended up randomly getting my resume reviewed while applying to a job I realized that my resume writing sucks. I'm finally at a point where I can afford to spend money in these things, so I paid for a resume writing service. I feel like I'm in an extreme need to do better than what I have since I never seem to get jobs and I'm hoping this helps. The whole "need money to make money" thing never felt more appropriate than now and it annoys me more than ever considering how much I couldn't get my writing to sound more active which, combined with my ingrained neuroticism and my inability to feel like I deserve any form of humblebragging, has lead me to being the worst person to sell myself.
All that and I have a migraine.
My regular job is being as distant as ever. I'm aware I'm more of a figurehead position within this company but christ would I love to do something that makes me feel like I'm actually needed and this is why I could really use a second job, even if it's a part time one (but hopefully one that pays really well regardless).
I also need to stop playing games because I feel like my creative outlets have been less and less creative. I should do more sketching and learn a few more paper crafts.
I did at least finish season 5 of The Expanse though. Damn does that show never stop being good. Having said that though, season 5 is 100% influenced by the political climate of 9/11 and you can feel it in every way. Combined with some storyline choices, it made for it being the weakest series. Still, a weak season of The Expanse is like talking about a weak Ghostbusters movie: it's not good, but it'll be perfectly serviceable for what it does.
