1:00 p.m.: victoria settles in front of computer to work on resumes.
1:05 p.m.: victoria is reassured of her brilliance when she is relieved to find she emailed herself her updated resume and kickass cover letter before leaving the d.c. area.
1:07 p.m.: victoria, having downloaded resume and accompanying clips to her computer, begins making the first customizations to resume and cover letter for first position she is applying for.
1:08 p.m.: power goes out.
6:09 p.m.: power resumes as victoria and her mother are walking out the door to go to dinner (as there was, well, no power to prepare food).
8:27 p.m.: returning home, victoria and mother prepare for "sex & the city".

resumes will be customized tomorrow, i suppose. talk about a frustrating day ... i was without electricity, without a car (if i'd had a car available, i would have been trapsing around burlington, which would have been ever so much more delightful), without phone capabilities (no electricity for land phone, no reception for cell phone), without the ability to listen to music and an abundance of bees that seemed to be lying in wait to try attacking me if i tried relaxing on the front lawn. everything i tried to do was met with another obstacle ... it actually wound up being quite amusing by the end to see how things could get messed up. fortunately, things improved after i had an opportunity to connect with another member of the human race when my mother came home from work at 4:45. hurrah!

the tigers had better be preparing for an asswhoopin' tomorrow evening ... yippee for fenway park festivities!!!
