Comment on Resume Writing For The Freelance Genius by Cat

I just took a job at Career Services at my campus, and a large portion of it is helping people with their resumes and cover letters. From what you’ve mentioned here, I wonder if you would find a functional resume to be appealing, as opposed to the traditional chronological resume. It is a way of highlighting all of the skills you have developed over the years, without having to tie each skill to a particular job. I’m sure you could find examples online.

We are doing a lot of communicating nonverbally, you know. I can tell that you have a lot on your mind simply by the way you carry your shoulders, brother.

Is this an invitation? If it is, resounding YES! If it is not… you should not tease me this way, sir. It hurts my feelings.

How do you feel about content that is also coaching? Imagine conscious living + adventure sports + cognitive science with a mandate for excellence, coupled with a nice multi-faceted business model. That shit needs content.

I came across a book that made me think of you. It’s called Anthropology by Dan Rhodes. All the ’stories’ in the book are 100 words or less. It’s a fun quick read, and it kinda fits your format here. Although his theme is love.

I’ve been remembering the future for years. At first it was just weird. Now not even the surprises are surprising.

This is why I love you spaceman. Well, it’s one of the reasons.

Personally, I’m confused on what to think. Indecent Exposure is set to community standards and I’m sure there aren’t too many street nudists in Indio. So, should the cops have ticketed him and let him be naked? or were the cops responsible by community standards to get him to put his clothes back on? But he was being belligerent and even put his hand on a cop (slapping him on the shoulder a few times). I don’t think any sober person would really do that even out of friendliness. So, yes, the cops probably should have arrested him at that point. But then there is the tasering. I’m against *all* tasers. But if they go by the book and the book calls for tasering… then what? It was a little excessive. Especially when he started tasering the guy in the head. I mean seriously??? They could have tasered him just to get the cuffs on and then take him away. But argh!!! they did so much more tasering than that. I’m confused and I’m simply happy that I’m not a cop to ever have to be put into that situation.

This is exactly what I’ve been hoping for. All this time we’ve been slaves anyway, most of us working for just enough pay to cover our bills and then back to the pyramids again, as the saying went. The whole system was pointless anyhow… only a few people were really wealthy and had the time to enjoy life in any sustainable way. I am sad that so many of my loved ones had to die for this to come to pass. I remember when the whole economic tailspin began, I was quietly hoping that everything would totally crash so I could go to the forest and live with the bears. I’m almost there… the last 60 miles of cycling from the lowlands up into what used to be Sequoia is taking me ages since there are so many wildflowers and swimming holes to stop for. I’m glad its all wrecked, and glad I trained for this beforehand.
