resume day

4.55: wake up, shower, etc

12.00: enjoy a grande soy -3 pump each- pumpkin spice chai while checking email, etc.
12.30: change from latte-making clothes into jeans and a real shirt with buttons and everything (read: not fleece pants, I'm attempting to be in work-at-home mode)
12.45: revise/redesign resume, read friends' resumes for ideas, etc. etc. etc. eek.
2.36: freak out momentarily by the thought of how much designing I haven't yet done in my career
2.39: realize I have plenty of experience to offer, it's just different than my classmates' and happens to currently involve things like making lattes and odd freelance work for nonprofits instead of photostyling interesting things, designing wayfinding systems in large buildings, or perfecting layouts for major consumer magazines
3.00 sit down with oprah to see nate's beautiful homes & eat some taco soup for an entertaining/inspiring lunch break of sorts
3.59: promptly back to resume revisions
4.15: ponder why I downloaded a resume guide designed in comic sans, take advice for what it's worth: simplify
