It’s another week where the workday routine is out the window. Monday had the visit to the surgeon’s office to shake things up. Today, there was a resume review session with MassHire in the HR suite, which led me to be downtown for the morning. The first challenge was getting out of the neighborhood after I discovered that the short street that lets me leave my neighborhood in an efficient route to work, was closed. A large, orange “Road Closed” sign informed me as I prepared to turn onto the street.
Instead, it was the longer route to work, which planted me in a lengthy
line of traffic. There was another surprise at the parking garage, where only
one entrance was open, with an orange traffic cone blocking access to the other
one. Traffic was blocked up with people from two directions waiting to enter
the garage through the one entrance lane blocking the two lanes of people
trying to exit the garage.

The lounge is the same space where, nine years and a few
weeks ago, I had my interview for my current job. This morning, I was receiving
help with merger-induced outplacement. It’s funny how things work. As Mummu
used to say, “not funny ha ha, funny peculiar.”
The result of the resume review was another surprise. The recommendation is that I should completely
revise mine from a chronological format to skills based (aka “functional”).
Like, right away, because the onsite job fair with reps from 25 companies in attendance
is next week. Oy.
Wednesday will be a regular state of things with being
downtown, but Thursday will be topsy turvy all over again with another day in
office for a visit from a co-op student from another department. The co-op is studying
marketing and will be shadowing our team for part of the day. These visits are
better on person.
It’s only Tuesday, I’m already tired, and I’m looking
forward to sleeping late on Saturday. It’s nice to have something to look forward
to.
