Yesterday was the JourneymanProject Comedy of Errors.
I didn't have my best night sleeping under the covers the night before, so I was definitely not in high gear at work. Not even close. I think stress is playing a role. Fortunately I was in control of how long my session would last this time, so when I noticed things were under control, since we have an intern working for a few weeks, I bailed out for the day.
Then I tried to talk to a couple of my friends here on the last night of Meebo availability at DS. It went okay for a little bit, but then my eyes had a case of the whammies and my connection cut loose soon after that (Summerwind81 and mystie, profuse apologies to both of you). I tried to sleep through the night but it didn't last long, within no less than half an hour I awoke with another am-I-really-capable-of-doing-all-this nightmare, which promptly went on to screw up another night's sleep (joy).
Today I'm putting together a rough resume for a couple of my siblings to look at. And I mean rough...I know very little about putting one together now, and even less about networking, but I'm so groggy inside that it's very unlikely I'll be able to take much in the way of steps beyond this over the next three or four days.
Parents suggested I hold on the paralegal job hunt for about two months and go after the basic paralegal certification on my terms. Okay, fine...I do still want it so will look into that option. But feeling really really unsure about whether I can actually knock that down because these days I'm barely getting 6 hours of sleep a night, and I can't function on that...and it's showing.

No need for apologies, friend...but about that resume...there are a TON of really good resume \'templates\' online...you pretty much just follow their guidelines about cover letters, proper forms of address, all that stuff and plug in your own information...they have them tailored to different industries and everything...just an idea...wishing you peace :)
Might do that, but right now don\'t even really know what to include. That stuff from my previous career doesn\'t feel relevant enough, and you know where I am with my people problems right now (at the moment it\'s definitely an online-or-bust world for me). Sent a rather crude first draft to two of my siblings, I guess I\'ll check my Outlook account to see if there\'s any feedback tomorrow.
