Learning to walk before I run

Mah heid is bustin'

Woke up twice last night for the loo, up with DD2 at 6, covering duty at work, wrote 1/2 of my competencies. Not really sure how much more I can accomplish, but also feel like I need to push on. I am a terrible procrastinator and I worry that I'll not make it to the finish line unless I do. 7 pages and 3,500 words in since yesterday.

Keep going Ed, it'll definitely be worth it in the end!

5/6 done, I feel I am testing the recruiting manager's patience at nearly 5,000 words. Then again, I'm going to cost their budget a chunk of change if I get it, I want to leave them in do doubt that they want to meet with me! 

The AI is still earning its keep (chomping down on my personal statement), a few minor hallucinations that I have told it off for and instructed it to remember for future.

Start with the assumption that they are going to meet with you, that you are exactly what they want!  You are not proving yourself, you are merely reminding them of just how good you are! You'd be amazed how that mind set can shift your focus positively!

I'm exhausted just thinking about it! I don't think I've filled in a job application for 20 years, you just bang in a CV in my game and they say yay or nay 😅 Keep going!

I am done at just a smidgeon under 5,000 words! Tiny party

Mhhh... Sibling hasn't read application but thinks 5k words is mad. I thought that was ok for 9 largely discrete sections with minimal overlap
