I had a root canal once. It was terrible. It was probably up there on the list of top 10 horrible things that I've been though. It wasn't the process that was all together horrible, it took a few hours and I was high on nitrous oxide, however that wore off fast enough as soon as I left the office. It was the everlasting pain of inflamed nerves, the painful crown that was installed afterward, and the uncomfortable inability to to chew most food on that side of my mouth for 12 years following up to the present day.

That's my personal yardstick for horrible things. Ever since I had that experience I find myself measuring other things I don't want to do up against root canals. There are things everyday I don't want to do but the comparison to root canals doesn't enter my mind very often. I've had terrible jobs and on my way to work I'd think "I'd actually opt for a root canal right now instead of going to work." That's when you know your job is bad. But I haven't thought about it till today. This weekend I decided to stay in Kentville to take on the horrendous task of writing my resume, a portfolio requirement necessary for graduating from my school, and important for finding a job as well. Writing my resume ranks amongst my top ten hated things in life. I even did the dishes, washed my laundry and emptied the garbage to further delay the task. Then the comparison to having a root canal came into my mind and I found myself weighing one against the other. I've just now come to the conclusion that perhaps writing the resume is slightly below a root canal on the yardstick of terrible things. Just slightly below. I'd say 95% as bad as a root canal.

So that is what I am doing today. Maybe I will get 50% done today and maybe the rest tomorrow. Oh ha! I just thought of something else that "needs" to be done first. I'm going to get groceries. Hey, the store might close unexpectedly and I'll have no food all night if I don't go now. *sigh*

Ugh, I feel your pain. I had to update my resume recently as well cus I was applying for a job. A real pain in the ass, but hey, I got the job so it was totally worth it. Starting on the 15'th :3 booyah!

Hmm, the worst thing I've had is...probably my last g/f dumping me, I felt so crappy I actually wished I'd die so I wouldn't feel like that anymore >_<

*sigh* I miss her so much.

Yeah I've felt that way before. What a horrible feeling. Just remember how much she sucks because she dumped you.

I don't think she sucks though, I used to be a shitty person before I met her and she's made me a much better person in general, both inside and outside. I have a lot of respect for her for that and I'd do almost anything for her. She doesn't seem to want to have anything to do with me and only comes to talk when she needs me for something so it breaks my heart. :/ I understand though, she probably feels guilty.

What's the resume for?

I need to take my animation/graphic design resume and update it for my new electrical skills. The two things are complete worlds apart. The school wants to see that we've done these things before they let us graduate.

Oh..I feel sick having to do this. I am probably being over dramatic.

No no, I feel the same about applications in general let alone resumes
