I haven't worked in 15 years, don't even know what a CV is, and all my references have left their jobs or shut down lol I feel you. I need to visit ACS and make use of their employment readiness resources. If we have any here.

A CV’s basically a resume just European? They’re a slightly different format and afaik willing to be longer than a page so you can give a bit more info? IDK, this is honestly part of the problem. DO I KNOW HOW TO MAKE ONE? We shall see.

And I’ve never really had the spoons to go to an ACS resume thing, if only because they talk about USE YOUR EXPERIENCE but I literally don’t have any and/or my references are gone/closed/moved/dead. How am I supposed to put that on there, then? *thbbbt* 

I should do the same though. Get some advantage out of those ten+ years of military-spouse-ing.

Ugh. I hate being an adult.

I feel this pain all the time (minus the time), mostly due to lack of a degree. Yes I can do this job better than everyone else, no I don't have a $100k piece of paper telling you I can *sigh*

I KNOW, RIGHT? Ugh. SO UGH.

Luckily this is not one that requires a degree, and is ONLINE CUSTOMER SERVICE /no phones/ so I really do 100% have the appropriate skill-set? JUST I am very bad at the actual selling myself as an employee concept.

I think I gave you the earliest bd gift this year :P (I agree, btw, with your mom and sis both. I have a friend who does that with all their gifts, so I got used to it many years ago too ;))

YOU WERE VERY EARLY AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

SUCH JOY

and it really does make holidays so much easier if you apply the same concept DO THE FAMILY THING WHEN IT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND NOT STRESSED

/or skip it entirely if you want to?

From the in-law’s perspective I am really terrible at all holidays ever *snorts*

thessalian mentioned you in a post: “faejilly: The Birthday Week™ Continues! /my sister has this theory,...”

@servantofclio - I just finished Magic for Nothing - you are going to LOVE IT.
@faejilly - Have fuuuuuuun. :)

servantofclio replied to your post: “@servantofclio replied to your post “The Birthday Week™ Continues!...”

Chaos Choreography was lots of fun. :)

I enjoyed it immensely!

The sleep deprivation side-effect bringing my brain fog back full force is maybe not a worthwhile consequence and I should have known better? 

But apparently I did not. 

But I really should have. Like, I forgot Thing 2′s lunch when he headed out to school AND HE EVEN REMINDED ME THIS MORNING.(And then I left my keys in the ignition when I got out of the car which I have literally done maybe once before in my entire life? Luckily that was in the GARAGE so I hadn’t locked anything.)

/ISTG I am not starting Magic for Nothing until tomorrow tho, I have shit to do today and I need to get enough sleep there’s at least a CHANCE I get some brain function back.

Adelaide Hawke - 1, 4, 5, 11, 20

1: Origins! How did you come up with the concept for your OC?

Adelaide is, actually, the only OC for which I really had a plan, rather than just letting them happen? I wanted to write about Sebastian, (because no one I knew at the time really cared about Sebastian), so she was entirely thought up to be a foil for him. Devout, still, because I felt that was an important, but mage and thus borderline heretical, thus impossible for a noble or a Brother to engage with, but entirely impossible for either of them not to. They’re my darlings.

4: How do you get into your OC’s mindset to write for them? How do you find the muse for them?

I don’t know! This is part of my problem of late. I mean, generally, I think up a particularly sappy trope, and LOOK, they fit perfectly. Or someone makes me think about mangos and peach blossoms so I have to write a story with them in it. Anything involving music or dance usually heads me in their direction too. 

Eventually it just happens and I’m writing. (Audio clips help too. Sebastian-voice helps me find Adelaide-voice.)

5: Were you nervous about putting your OC out there? How long did it take before you decided to play your OC here on Tumblr.

I wasn’t originally, no. I came to tumblr kind of specifically to follow an artist friend of mine, and the very first thing I really looked for was Sebastian stuff? So adding to it was delightful.

I’m nervous about putting her out there now, because I’m not sure I have anything left to say that anyone would care about, now that the new game is well over a year old already.

Which is part of why I keep hunting down OC memes, to try and get her voice back again.

11: Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?

The Chantry. She likes the smaller village ones better than the Grand Cathedral in Kirkwall though, all warm wood and rough floors. 

Alternatively, she’s like the sea, and a nice stretch of quiet coast to listen to the waves come in.

20: What are Tropes you associate with your muse?

oh crap, I am terrible at tropes. uh. 

Chronic Hero Syndrome, Good Is Not Soft, a little Adorkable, some Magic Knight (w/staff not sword)

and aren’t all Hawkes Right “Man” in the Wrong Place?

thessalian asked:

I didn't do this one. WHY didn't I do this one? *ahem* Why I followed you is a whole 'mutual circle of fandom crazy' thing, if I remember right. I'm pretty sure at least one person, when the mutual following happened, made loud squeaky noises about "HOW WERE YOU TWO NOT FOLLOWING EACH OTHER ALREADY?" I am choosing to take that as a compliment. ^_^

You know, I seldom remember how/why/when I follow people (thus the never answering this meme, however much I enjoy it when other people do) but that “HOW WERE YOU TWO NOT FOLLOWING EACH OTHER ALREADY?” sounds terribly familiar and also, yes, I think it is a compliment. For both of us.
