Wow, it's been years since I did that.

Nothing can quite induce the special state of panic that you get when one spills a glass of liquid on one's computer desk.

Not that it's the worst state of panic (no, I think the sound that one's daughter's head makes when she swan dives off the couch into the coffee table (which now has a foam liner, 24 hours too late) takes that distinction), but it certainly is special.

Boy, after typing that parenthetical comment, the main point of this post seems awfully trivial, doesn't it? Though I suppose if I had been near the computer after making sure Anna didn't have a concussion, I'm sure I would have posted about it, too...

(For the record, Anna's fine, other than the rather large bruise in her eyebrow, and the computer equipment all managed to stay dry.)

Trying to avoid repeating mistakes of the past.

I learned my lesson the hard way last time: when your employer starts having trouble paying you on time, don't wait around until they stop completely to find another job.

So, I'm working on getting my résumé updated.

It's not ready for prime time, and I'm probably going to get rid of the "long version", but if anybody would care to critique it, I'm open to suggestions.

Once I get that finished, I'm going to duplicate it on monster.com. Anybody have any other job site recommendations?

...I'm really not looking forward to this...
