This 1977 brick house in Hartford, CT may look like an ordinary suburban home, but it lets you know that it isn't.

It's not like your average mid-century- you can tell by the renovated entrance hall, here. 3bds, 3ba, 2,338sqft, $320k. Take a look at this completely remodeled home.

As we saw, the double doors open to this very different entrance hall. (I hate when they put gray w/the old beige flooring,

So, they put tile up on the walls, painted the stairs black, and painted the railing, removed the spindles and installed wire.

Coming up to the living/dining room. The railing wires are so crooked.

Oh, no, they did not paint the tiles turquoise. Isn't that going to chip?

The kitchen's a little weird- what's up w/the fireplace in the corner? I see that they installed a wine cooler. So, this dark middle section must be the original tile.

Something's kind of off, here. The fireplace doesn't seem to fit in.

This is very confusing. So, they painted the cabinets black and installed pot lights in the soffit.

The primary bedroom is directly off the dining area.

Remodeled bath now includes a bidet and a modern sink.

This room with double doors is also off the main living area. Did they take down some walls and put up new ones? Could this be a family room?

Another remodeled bath. Looks like all the baths got bidets.

The bedroom has an optical illusion mural.

Back down on the ground floor, we have a half bath. The mirror gives the illusion of infinite jingly bell lights. Whoever installed the sink didn't line up the pedestal correctly, though.

And, here's your rec room complete with fireplace, mirrored ceiling, pool table and hot tub.

They were right, this house is not like the others.

There's also a laundry room down here. I hope that's not mold.

Utility room. Hmm.

Yard with a deck and 2 patios on a 5,227.2sqft lot.

I recommend doing similar for cover letters. Have a template with the structural statements you'll always want to include, and then fill in your selling points and interests as they pertain to the specific company/job you're applying for.

I am forever grateful to an archivist mentor I worked with in grad school for some resume advice she gave me and thought maybe others would also benefit from it.

Keep a Master Resume.

This is not the resume you send out. This is a detailed resume of every job (with dates and location, supervisor and location phone number are a bonus) and as many skills/duties/accomplishments you can possibly think of for each and every one of the jobs and education programs you can think of.

She showed me hers, it was about 25 pages long, and formatted exactly like a regular resume for ease. Every time she would learn a new program/skill, she'd add it. Change in title or duties, add it. Complete something big/special/complicated/new to her/professionally significant, she would add it. This way when she went up for a promotion or raise, she had a detailed record of highlights to pick from to show she deserved it. There was no "when was that? Did I submit that last round of reviews?"

Applying to a new job? Pick and choose items from your Master Resume to plug in to the resume or CV you will be sending based on the job posting. You don't need to rewrite it, just cut and paste relevant details.

the weirdly vengeful and petty tones aborted babies take in pro-life propaganda images are so funny like this passive aggressive "was it worth it mommy?" and "it's a shame you can't join me in heaven mommy 😔" like do you ever wonder if you were aborted for a reason you little bitch ass baby

I'm always in such a rush to get my things together before work meetings start, but lately I've been making it a point to at least stand in front of a window for a moment with my tea/coffee and take some deep breaths

it sounds cliche but it's at least some good enrichment if not a moment of joy and appreciation for the world as it brightens around my house in the morning glow

I want sweet wine drunk nights with you dancing around our kitchen and patio and making brownies but burning them because we were having sex on the counter
