I may have mentioned a few times that I am taking classes towards a web design/production certificate.
I may not have mentioned that my unemployment takes every shred of creativity, motivation, and focus and throws it out the window, through the forest, and into the street, where they are likely to be run over by a truck. Or perhaps unemployment takes the team (creativity/motivation/focus) out to a nice dinner, and then to the clubs for dancing. either way, I haven't seen them in months.
as is evidenced by the fact that it's taken me 4 hours to even begin to get the materials together to start my "css essentials" assignment.
the materials needed? my resume, and portfolio images/docs in a useable size. that's it. I can't believe I had to bribe myself with beer and a bath in order to get as far as saving everything into a folder and re-naming things. How did I get through the day when I was employed?
I'm estimating another 8 hours of work on this relatively simple "use CSS to put up a resume and portfolio in multiple-page format, with a link to a printable resume" site.
no wonder I've only gotten 13 calls on the million resumes I sent out last week. they can detect the slack in my soul.
at least I found a moment of unslackishness to work on converting, re-designing, and moving over to moveable type. you did notice, didn't you?

I feel that lazy and I have a job, well, for a little while longer anyway.

I feel you on the disproportionate resume-to-call ratio. And on the general slackdom as well. Nice job on the redesign.
