I'm struggling with my résumé this morning. It's absolutely due by 4:30 or I'll miss my shot at a nice promotion. I've known about the job and its deadline for at least three weeks, so of course here I am with less than six hours to go, and all I've got is a mind-map of the job requirements and sense of dread.

So I wander over to Seattle's Best, because Caleb, the adorable guy who usually takes my order, always cheers me up. It's Bean Friday, so I buy a bag of 6th Avenue Bistro Blend and get a triple-shot mocha for free. Caleb looks at my debit card. "I never knew that was your name!" he says. "What a great name! I know I've told you before that you're like a queen, but I didn't know you had a regal name to go with it."

So I'm all, yeah, dammit, I'm the Queen of Fuckin' Everything, and I don't need to fear this little résumé, or even the great big job behind it. I'm gonna whip that sucker into shape and turn it in, then waltz off for the weekend and never give it a second thought.

Just as soon as I finish this triple mocha. And this LJ entry. And my email. Maybe a little lunch...
