Weirdness

Today has been remarkably Not Busy (I know better than to use the "Q" word in an operational setting!), to the point where my shift partner and I actually tested the phone lines AND Outlook to make sure calls and emails were still able to come through. Of course, the minute we did that my poor shift partner got a really weird and complicated call that ended up taking her nearly two hours to resolve, so I think I owe her chocolate for jinxing her. ;)

I don't have much to report today. I've been doing nothing but work and sleep lately, and today I've mostly spent updating my resume in order to send it to the recruiter tomorrow. I suppose I could just send it today as soon as I'm done. I am very bad at updating my resume and hadn't done it since last year. These days there are lots of conflicting opinions and advice about how to format a resume, with some saying that you can't just provide a chronological list of your jobs and a description of your responsibilities, but instead need to present a more "dynamic" version with, like, an eye-catching "executive summary" and a list of your skills and all sorts of other stuff that feels like nonsense to this aging Gen Xer. Then you get other people insisting that, no, all that gimmicky stuff is actually super off-putting, and you should just create a simple document listing your education and your job experience, nothing more. I am erring on the side of simplicity, but I did include a list of skills by way of compromise.

Work is suddenly going nuts, so I'm going to stop here and catch up later. Catch you on the flip side, friends!
