I'm trying to do 4
blog posts a month, at least until I'm employed again.
Anyway, after
God-knows-how-many applications, my dad finally began to question why I wasn't
even getting to the interview stage. Personally I believe I was aiming too
high, picking roles at major companies with 2-3 years' experience rather than
0-2 (which are much fewer in quantity). But he decided to take a look at my
resume, and concluded that it was hot garbage (my words, not his).
Funny. Most of my
friends remember me tidying up my resume around December and venting because I
was asking him for help and just getting a sort of "do it yourself."
Like I appreciate he's trying to push me to be more independent, but this is really
something I could use experienced guidance on?? Hello???
Oh well. He spent an
evening giving me a bunch of advice and now I'm over here trying to revamp the
thing. Better late than never.
I'd have made much
better progress by yesterday, too, had Mom not been yelling her ass off at the
maid for the whole bloody day, resulting in a lasting headache. One thing
that's better about my household - eight, nine years ago my parents would have
just told me to stop being a sissy and finish the work even while sick. They're
a lot more considerate now. (No doubt some of it is because of the current
COVID-19 epidemic too.) Doesn't change the fact it's loud as fuck, though, or
that they were at it again this morning.

Hey, leap year day.
So I'm on the verge of
finally tidying up my resume. It's good timing because I don't have much to
play at the moment. Monster Hunter World
added a new quest and Azur Lane has an
event, but that's about it. I've even been so bored that I went and bought
myself a copy of the old classic Diablo II
to replay. (When I played it as a kid it was on a pirated copy as I had no
money back then, so this is due payment for the fun I had).
Yet as I say this:
- Grim Dawn updated today
- Guild Wars 2 updated yesterday
- Path of Exile announced its next update, eta 2 weeks
- Warfame has even announced its sweetest update in years - after leaking players like I predicted, they finally decided to listen and make the changes I (and many other players) have been asking for (for years, mind you).
So there's a lot to
do. After I finish my resume I have to go back to revising my SAP course. I've
done all the lessons but I need to revise so I can pass the online exam.
