It started quite painfully. It always does. When you apply for a job you need to write or update your CV. That's a rule. Your head is already spinning with a bunch of other things: you don't have a job or the one you have is not good enough for you - otherwise you wouldn't be applying for a new one, would you?
This is exactly what happened to me a couple of months ago. So there I was, sitting in front of the screen and searching for my previous CV in my messy hard drive. Ghrrr, it always hides somewhere you would never expect... "My Documents".. nice try, but no luck. "Pictures" why would I do that? Anyway. No luck. Ok, search for "CV" in all partitions... Ok, here it is, a nice half-megabyt'ish M$ Word document. Double click. Wait. Wait. I'm a calm person, I can wait till this feature over-bloated word processor loads. Finally it did load. However, adding new bits and pieces of what I have learned since the last time I edited my CV was quite pleasing. But then I saw something. My CV looks awful! Oh snap! In order to make it look better I had to copy and paste dozens of paragraphs to another document, apply different styles, change fonts... Stop. This was the moment when a real man stands up, goes to the mirror, adjusts his tie and says loudly in his sexy movie trailer male voice:
- I will not let humankind bother about such problems anymore.
