Today, I came across a job that 1. I would like, 2. would involve something I'm passionate about, and 3. would get me out of town. This means revisiting my resume'. I haven't really updated my resume' in, like, 9 years because I haven't had to. And in 9 years of working for the state, I have a lot to update.
...so, I'm procrastinating, apparently.
I remembered this "fake" resume' I wrote which I like to call Resume' (First Draft). This was originally a myspace blog. Let's go back in time to 2006: I had just graduated from UT with a fairly useless psych degree and no interest in the field anymore. I wanted a "real" job. I wanted to make some money.
I was working at the Olive Garden, and in retrospect, I wasn't disgruntled. Or at least not as disgruntled as I am these days. I worked 3 days a week, and I have no idea how I paid bills. It was a fun time.
While searching for a real job, I wrote this...
So, last night, again, I tried to
write my resume, but again, I got wicked frustrated by the fact that working in
a restaurant hasn't done shit for me... so then I spent my time not writing my
resume, but writing this smartass resume.

BACKGROUND
Jack just wants
to get the fuck out of working in a restaurant. So please. He's
clearly willing to do anything just short of sucking cock in order to make a
reasonable amount of money in order to provide for himself, his food and the
girl of his dreams whom he's hoping he'll also meet somewhere that isn't a
restaurant cause we all know that dating in a restaurant is as good as
inbreeding He's a damned hard worker, loyal to a fault, soft-spoken yet
entertaining, a quick learner, fuckin' intelligent and quick at adapting....
like the Borg.
