Strange Brew by John Deering for July 24, 2024

They need large doses of “hackneyed” medication.

“Looking From the View Of ThirtyThousand Feet, this has all been quite useful.”

But I’m just taking it one day at a time!

An existential experience.

It is what it is.

So, I love this cartoon a ton.

It’s not you .. It’s me. I invented the ’It’s Not You’ (Seinfeld)

“Get out while the gettin’ is good”

“Why is the club treasury empty??!!!”

“Jeromy decided to take the money and run.”

I see resumes like this. There are a lot of “Results-driven, detail-oriented, team players” out there. All of them “Successfully increase profitability through the optimization of utilization.”

As a writer who believes in “verbs and short words,” these resumes upset my stomach. They are like eating a cake with too much sugar and lard icing on it.

Unfortunately, AI also produces resumes like this. AI has its place in the resume-writing world, but it still needs adult supervision and rewriting to get the human touch.

I will bow out now. I’ve written pages of comments about resumes. Along with computer security, it’s one of my pet peeves.

They all seem to be on the same page.

Let’s put a pin in this session.

Let’s continue to deep dive.

AAUGH! Make it stop! It’s like watching a talk show!

I prefer the Severed Head Support Group meetings, personally.

Why is the rum gone?

See, if it had been “Cliches Anonymous” THAT would have been a cliche. :)

That’s the way the ball bounces. :)

Let’s run it up the flag pole and see if anyone salutes.

Is it to support the cliches or the people who use them?

My second biggest pet peeve is the use of clichés…my first is hate.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Cliches for all occasions.

I gotta be me.
