I need a manager or something.

Everything I want to do, need to do, where to start, where to go, what to do, what to say... drives me a bit nuts as I'm looking over different things. Looking at housesitting as a possible avenue for income, I have query letters I need to write, and part of my damn problem is my own little Catch-22 wherein I'm supposed to really sell myself, which butts heads with the part of me that doesn't want to look like an egomaniac.

...which in itself conflicts with the fact that egomaniacs are one of my favorite personality-types when it comes to entertainment.

In other news: I played mad scientist in fixing dinner tonight.

Well, not that mad.

I set the oven to 425, laid some slices of bread on a rack I put on a tray, with lunch meat on one side of each, and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes. Add condiments, and boom.

It ain't Quizno's, but it's not bad in itself for a quick-fix with some chicken soup on a cold winter's night. Might've been nice if we could've picked up some cheese, tho. That'd melt real nice on there.

I think you lack confidence in yourself. Just be yourself, and don't worry about how you come across. Instead of worrying about how you are portraying yourself, think about what the other person wants to hear, and tell them the truth. If you ever want to take a look at my CV to see how I wrote it, just let me know and I'll send it over. It's written for the Math Department, and so might be uninteresting, and I don't claim to be the best CV/resumé writer in the world, but it does the job.

PS: Sorry I went offline like that. As you probably guessed, the computer crashed. Again.

Eh, sure, why not? I've got one from my brother-in-law, who helped me redo my resume', but another can't hurt.

Alright. Next time I'm online, remind me.

I know I'd have trouble selling myself. But I think as long as they can see you're a regular, friendly person, and probably not some kind of pent-up psycho, that itself goes a long way. I know it's cliche, but be yourself! I know I have trouble talking easily to people I'm not familiar with sometimes, but if you can get past that, I think you'd make a great impression.

I remember I once tried making a tuna casserole using whatever I had around the house. I had to make a lot of substitutions... I think I ended up using half & half instead of milk at some point. Came out alright!
