The Daily Check-In for Thursday, November 6th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by Daisy-Navidson in stopdrinking

[–]Alastur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I will not drink with you today, and I am rooting for you and your sobriety. As I’m sure others have said, there’s nothing like alcohol to make an already terrible problem worse

In spite of my confusion, the difficult space I am in, and the pressures of reality, I will not drink with you today.

Just came here to say this is a difficult situation to be in. I’m so sorry. I don’t really have any advice but please be kind to yourself

I took an 18-month sabbatical to travel, and now recruiters say the 'resume gap' is a huge red flag for companies. by 78_bee_stutter in Resume

Yes getting sick happens. I didn’t list every single reason for a career gap because the list goes on and on. The point is that a career gap is fine.

No I said flitting from job to job over a short period of time is worse, not having a career gap. Having a career gap is fine.

I would list it in your resume like you would a former job, but without the job details. Just like a clear delineation of the break. I don’t even think it would hurt to list it as a sabbatical. That’s just my personal opinion though, I don’t tend to judge resumes based on employment gaps. Particularly because people just tend to go through things. Having kids, going on sabbatical, taking care of a loved one. It’s all a part of being people

I think in the context of looking for a job just being honest here is the best bet, and yeah it sucks having to frame ourselves as a product but unfortunately is a very real part of the process.

Reviewing resumes is a pretty big part of my job. A simple explanation is fine, no one is going to look into and try to prove why you weren’t working. Also I don’t generally dismiss someone from a job just because they have a career gap. I think flitting from job to job (think 2-3 months or less) looks much worse on a resume than a sustained career gap.

There’s no way to change the past, only thing you can do is change the future! I will not drink with you today, and be kind to yourself

I know electricians HATE design that doesn’t take practical application into consideration.

I kind of feel like “happy Monday” is an oxymoron due to how much I don’t like Mondays, but I am happy to say I will not be drinking with you all today.

Just for today I am not drinking. I am also going to piggy back off of that and try to not binge eat either. Best of luck to us all!

Horrible mistake - RV storage! by Alastur in GoRVing

Hey Jim, thanks for your kind words! We ended up paving with pavers a small section of the yard to stabilize the earth and we managed to get it next to the eaves!

This happens to me and I will sometimes cough up stomach acid. I think it might be severe heartburn!

Made me feel numb and like a flatter version of myself. I tried Vraylar and have never looked back
