"I am not angry because the submarine was badly-made. I am angry because I live in a vastly larger pressure vessel being managed and maintained by the exact same people." -- https://cohost.org/hystericempress/post/1731218-reflecting-on-it-th @hystericempress
Posted because I kept seeing this quote posted with the names filed off, so I did a quick google search to find the original so I could share it with full attribution.
I'm getting super-spammed with retoots and faves, so I don't need any more.

I am absolutely craving something Eastern Mediterranean. But I'm also craving Chinese. I can do one but not the other.
This is one of those songs that takes your mood and makes you happy wether you want to be or not.
I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, Texas BBQ is sacroscant and is a thing of perfection. But these adaptions look GOOOOD.
Spent the day being productive. Dishes done, house cleaned, and, get this, I reworked my resume. That took a LOT of pain killers and ice packs, but it got done.
When I was laid off, I was given outplacement services. They took my old resume, some questions and rebuilt a new one for me. I didn't like it, but figured they knew more than I did about resume writing these days (my original resume was designed in 1999!)
I ended up taking their text and redesigning the resume to a less cluttered one, but kept the text and formatting.
Fast forward five months - I get a meeting with an unemployment person, and he basically eviscerates my resume for every reason I didn't like the rewrite. Not in a mean way, but in a very constructive way. So, I basically merged all my resumes together with his suggestion:
Clean it up, ditch the keyword list and put it in the descriptions, remove the address (location bias) remove the dates from older jobs (age bias), and don't be afraid of a two page resume.
I rather like it. Nintendo is still a WALL OF TEXT but my job at Nintendo was ten years long and I did a WALL OF JOBS there.

"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.
