From Susan — Potpourri

Filed under: Back Story,Sunrise Circle Jacket — lv2knit @ 8:34 am

In my work life, I am the manager of a small, staff education department.  One of my duties is the hiring and the firing, so in the course of those duties I have the “opportunity” to read resumes.  Here’s one that I just could not believe — this woman was a total job-hopper and shared not only the multitude of jobs she had held in the past, but also her reasons for leaving:

  • her stint in pool maintenance was cut short because it was too draining
  • she worked for Minute Maid orange juice, but got canned because she could not concentrate
  • she left Midas Muffler because she found the work too exhausting
  • she left her job as a commercial fisherman because she could not live on the net income

Okay, so I will not quit my day job for comedy!!!  😉 😉 😉

On a knitting-related note, I am very excited because last evening I bought some fabric (a batik rayon) to make something to go with my Sunrise Circle:

I finished this sweater months ago and have not been able to wear it because my wardrobe is so pathetic (we have touched on my “shabby chic without the chic” wardrobe in previous posts).  My Moebius Scarf class, scheduled to start this Saturday is a NO GO ( 🙁 ) so that leaves me with a free day on my hands ( 🙂 ).  I hope to be wearing this puppy by next week — woo hoo!!

Tonight is Thursdays at 4 [knitting group] AND Grey’s Anatomy (Dr. McDreamy, I’m all yours!) — so it is a good day!

  2. Pretty fabric. I wish you lived out this way — I’d love to take a Moebuis class! Besure to share what you sew … pretty please!?

  3. I love the fabric as well. I have just recently returned to sewing. I love it… and it makes me feel a bit more “capable” as compared with my beginner knitting skills! So I look forward to seeing what you make with the fabric.

  4. Sorry about your class being cancelled! That material goes beautifully with your sweater.

    Oh, sheesh, I had to re-read that list to see the joke! Puns, the lowest form of humor (and one of my faves.) I wouldn’t be surprised to see any of that on a resume. People are crazy.
