Need A Sizzle Piece

Hello Everyone:

Damp weather aside, I managed to get dressed and go out to my workspace.  Staying in my joggers all day was tempting but I wanted to have a place to write with a reasonably strong WiFi connection.  I finished writing today's post a little early but not early enough to get back to the one I started yesterday.  That I'll save for tomorrow.  I decided to pick the Brit BF's brain for ideas about snappy attention getting introductory letter.  If I'm going to cold send my resume to firms, I should have a good cover letter that'll get me noticed.  He's usually pretty good about writing sizzle pieces.  Me, I couldn't write about myself unless I really made a serious effort.  I had to have help on my grad school admissions essay.  I'm glad I did.  My cover letters are usually the "hello-this is me-here's what I can do-please hire me" type.  Really unexciting.  I also want to clean up my resume so it sparkles.  I can't embellish on it too much.  The experience and education I have is what I have.  I can toot my own horn a little but not exaggerate or lie about my qualifications.  These things have a funny way of coming back to haunt you.  Oh great the noisy after school tutoring session invaded my calm space.  I really wish the teacher would learn to control her class.  Okay back to my thoughts.  I think if it's raining tomorrow, I'll stay in.  I do have to buy groceries so I'll have to tough it out go out in the rain.  Fortunately, the grocery store is close by.  Funny moment of the day, mum got a cane.  She had an appointment with a physical therapist today, she told him about her balance issues and believed that she needed a cane.  Strangely, he obliged her.  I say strangely because most of the time mum greatly exaggerates her ailments.  I have no clue why the therapist agreed to this but okay.  At the very least, I can use it for home security.  It's metal so it could give any would be burglar a serious concussion.  Almost any burglar, me excluded.
