February 16th: Update Resume

Well, I did not think it had been that long but when I went to update my resume today I did not even have my current place of employment on there… and I have been at the place for over THREE YEARS! But I did it. I updated it.

It was slightly disheartening because my second page includes art exhibitions I have been in and charity work I have done and I had NOTHING to add to those. So I think a goal should be to work on those things to add, because those are my life and should be the most important things I am working on.

If anyone has suggestions on things to change, edit, or add I would greatly appreciate feedback.

So there it is. As many of my other tasks I have been working on throughout the last month and a half, this might help get some of my other tasks down the road done. Always good to keep things updated and keep things rolling.

February 5th: Take a Selfie

So this seems pretty simple, but not something I do on a regular basis. Or ever really. 

So during the Super Bowl I was hanging with a bunch of my friends and coworkers. I got this really cool Polaroid camera on New Years so I brought it with me and took lots of selfies. 

Sadly, I left my purse in my Uber and it had all the pictures in it. I am hoping to get it back, just waiting for the Uber driver to contact me back. 

I will post the pictures when I get them back… if I get them back. I sure hope I do!

Well, I got my purse back and just snapped photos of all the selfie polaroids. No editing, and the quality isn’t great going from Polaroid to camera but fun nonetheless!

January 8th: Wake Up Early

Maybe this is cheating.

I should preface this post with: I am a bartender and never really wake up “early” but in reality early is relative. But today… I woke up EARLY. And still, to the point of “cheating” I woke up because I had to. But I did it and I was awake and I have yet to take a nap. (I love naps!)

So, here’s the story: I close the bar on Saturday night, which on a typically day means 2 AM at the earliest and 5 AM at the latest.

Last night, to my delight, I left work at 2:05 AM. Once I got home and laid down to sleep I finally closed my eyes and didn’t recall being awake again until 7:15 AM when my alarm went off. It felt far to early to be awake. My earliest shift every week is 9:45 AM. To be honest, the earliest I ever wake up is 8:45 AM. But on this day, I actually got out of bed at 7:30 AM. So I went to work and was productive. We had a new event at work today and it killed, so thank goodness I decided to be awake and productive early.

Good morning and good night. The productivity of today  was bewildering and something I should probably do more.

January 5th: Ask Friends for Music Suggestions and LISTEN

Needs no explanation. Great friends=some great music. It’s an ecclectic mix, which is what you want… in friends and music! I have to say above everything else, I am amazed by this simple experience. As I listened to each song I saw the person that recommended it to me in the lyrics and melody. It made me smile and love the music even more.
