You do not want your resume to say more than you are willing to admit. Such as: My work experience includes being a Night Stalker at WalMart. I am currently on maturity leave.
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.
Quotation from Carl Sagan
Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.
Quotation from George Carlin
yes, i know true blood is on HBO instead of showtime. my bad.
Haha… “Maturity Leave” – I love it
“I’m on maturity leave.” I LOVE this!
Unfortunately, there is no income associated with this sort of leave. Still, some of the lessons to be learned while on it are invaluable.
You made me laugh!! Love the George Carlin quote…and good luck with that resume’-writing!!!
Too true! Love the Carlin quote. And I see you’re back to your usual hair! I’m going to think of how resume would read if I did something like this. I’m sure it’ll keep me entertained while I’m on my road trip!!

Ahh, gay locker love. I love the cartoon; really a resume has to be written for the job being applied for. I have a complete disdain for how resumes and the whole interview process is abused in the IT industry that’s been my career, but that’s another subject entirely…
You mean I have to stop stating I collect chocolates and can’t get up before 9 am on my resume? Damn!
But more seriously, I don’t understand people who make writing resumes sound like rocket-science. Sure, there are some common-sense rules to respect, but eh, a resume is a resume… it’s a foot in the door, that’s it!
Boobs. Those always land a job.
Hilarious! I’d totally hire you if your resume mentioned dancing on cauldrons. But I’m not in management, so I really have no say.
And I’m a firm subscriber to George Carlin.
What about the perks of being able to take your own bag of personal priorities to work every day? I know a number of people who think they’re starring in their own private tv show.
Excellent and very funny! I like your point of view
Don’t forget..we all get old sometime 
) Great work !
You forgot : don’t list Mom as a reference…
Hmm… Maybe I should show my boobs more.
“Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.”
I like that quote, because I believe we always slack sometimes. It doesn’t mean that that has to be as drastic as in the quote above…
I don’t know how you are doing, but on my side I am reorganizing the work situation – portfolio and the no portfolio … both!
It is not my favorite anymore, but it seems the only viable way for now. I am going back to contracting, carpentry that is.
Send my portfolio teaching in Vancouver, they liked it – BUT – the Canadians (government) give you a slew of restrictions and guidelines. I just looked at the requirements, and I thought ‘what the fuck’; haven’t had the stamina to pursue this since, was so turned off. But I suppose I should continue — just for fun, oh yeah!
Thanks for the multiple comments on my blog, you are a true sister!!!!
You will let me know what comes about of your resumé and work search. Let’s see who is first, and keep those fingers crossed for good luck.
I do know what you mean…
you could write a bridget jone’s resume ‘i got fired from my last job for shagging my boss’…. i loved your comment about coco, tho it almost made me burst into tears
“I could drink a case of you darling / And I would still be on my feet …” suddenly came to mind, Seraphine. Your comics always have that effect on me!!!
…just drink a case of you, one of my most favorite Joni Mitchell songs Ginnie
The problem with hoping boobs will get you a job is that most human resource heads these days are women. Unless they swing that way i think having a decent resume is a good back up
Why don’t you become a professional resume writer?
Boobs. They can be quite handy. No pun intended.
you’re very funny.. you know that, right? ;D
Love the Carlin Quote, and I think I need some Maturity leave
