inJust realized my resume was getting ignored because I used a 2 column layout
But don't recruiters still need to actually read it once you get past the software?

inHit the $10k mark in my emergency fund and felt nothing
Exactly @jana_price, that 10k is just a gatekeeping number for who gets to drain your savings first.

inHad a client's hair start smoking from a cheap flat iron at a wedding gig in Tempe. I'm not kidding.
Used to think all flat irons were basically the same until I borrowed a cheap one from a friend and saw how uneven the heat was. @angelapalmer is right, that kind of heat damage is no joke when you're working with someone else's hair. Definitely sticking with trusted brands from now on.

inNoticed a huge difference in my paycheck after I stopped picking up extra shifts for three months
Hate to be that person, but tax brackets don't work like that. You only pay the higher rate on the money you earn above the threshold, not your whole paycheck. So working more hours never makes you take home less overall, even if you jump a bracket. That's a common myth though, I get why people think it. The real reason paychecks shrink with less overtime is usually just less hours worked, not some tax trick.
