Yes, I am making more today. Cookies, cookies everywhere!

Today it's cocoa-coffee crinkles, which I will be bringing in to work tomorrow, or rather, sending them in with my mom tomorrow morning so the truck day crew will have something lovely to go with their coffee. What can I say, it keeps me entertained. Of course now I need to find another recipe that uses instant coffee, cause I'm sure as hell not drinking it. The mere thought makes me shudder in revulsion.

Even if you're happy at your job (and especially if you aren't), you should keep an updated resume on hand. You never know what the future will hold, and you don't want to get stuck trying to rebuild your resume from scratch. Like me. I haven't updated mine in about half a decade, since the last time I considered looking for a new job. It's almost easier to just write a new one.
