Redoing it ALL

Clearing it out to the bare walls…Yes sir, come down here make an offer it all has to go…

Sorta, going though my ‘persona’ and figuring out what needs to be remade.  That means for one thing, new resume.  Then maybe a new blog with a little more professional sound to it than this place.  And lastly…new clothes.

Resume is getting a massive makeover.  Going back down to a one page layout.  Looking around at various friends resume’s and found one I really like and sadly, taking a lot of cues from it.  My layout has been the same for nearly 8 years I think its time for a change.  I hate the ‘ms office’ layouts that I see out there, so I never used one.  This new layout is very fresh for sure, and a little…omg buzz word…web2.0.  I like it a lot.  And I thnk really will shine compared to a lot of other SysAdmins out there.

New blog?  I hear you say “but you dont keep this one up.”  And you’d be right.  But now I have time, and the ability to think of what to say, I think I should but more of a professional foot out there.  not that this place is very…unflattering.  I just think the aim is different.  This is for family and friends, going to say my other domain…mindless-innovation, could be more professional.  So really thinking about that.

New clothes.  Gota look the part.  Or not look the part.  The daily dress has been a polo and jeans for a long time.  I have put on too much weight to fit in my old interview clothes.  So time to go buy some.  Cause I dont think jeans and a polo would pass.  Maybe a black turtle neck…but only if I were interviewing at Apple.  Sadly khakis, long sleve shirt, and a tie is probably needed.  I hate that cause as as SysAdmin, I know our expected dress is at most, khakis and a polo.  But as they say, dress at least one level above what you are interviewing for.

So…time for a change

Reduce clutter, how?

I really want to figure out how to clean up my life/apartment/workspace of clutter.  This is a lofty goal I do believe.  I am a packrat by birth, so its going to be tough.  The idea of throwing something useful away is tough.  Items will find a way to be needed the moment you get rid of them.  So how can I go get rid of things right before I need them?  First thing to go I think will be old computers.  Im going to put up a post here soon to the Nashville list to give away this stuff.  Things that dont get taken away, going to go get recycled somewhere.  After that is going to be my desk I think.  Its too big.  With my idea of getting an iMac, this huge L desk needs to go away.  Ive liked it since I got it, but I just cant justify it anymore.  I dont sit here as much as I once did, and all it does is collect junk.  Couch and loveseat, I dont need them so think they will get gone, get one or two comfy chairs and thats it.

Now will I actualy go though with any of this….who knows.  I want to tho.

Sad

Is it sad when you clean and find money?  Not like change but dollar bills.  Oh well, found some…score for me?  I have to clean up this apartment before Friday night.  Living room is livable.  Id like it cleaner but with the clutter and just vast amount of crap I have, its not going to get much better.  Ive tried selling things to my friends, even giving it away offers, but I cant get rid of it.  I hate throwing things away, but thats how its going to have to be.  Here soon Im going to load up and take stuff to the dump or to Goodwill depending on the stuff.  Oh well…Ill just continue to tuck things away.

Cooking up another pot roast.  nothing like a huge hunk of cheap meat long cooked with some veggies to really elongate the budget.  I think each hunk was like 10 bucks, each could feed me for 3 maybe 4 days depending on how long I care to keep it.  Last piece was 3 days but today I figured it was time to finish it off since it had been in the fridge for a few days.  Best part….its a set it and forget it type of deal.  Always good.  Ok…now to fold some laundry, or fold up into a ball on the bed…

When Tuesdays are like Mondays

You know the feeling.  Waking up not knowing what day it is.  Still go to work and feel like crap.  Then get home and wonder…why did I go though all that.  Oh well.  Its over with now.  But no cravings today, just hungry on the drive home.  Being almost 6 hours since lunch, its understandable.  Had a little bit of crabby attitude today, tho I think it will be worse tomorrow.  We will see.  Again same food as yesterday, thats just how I roll…
