Ugg, I've got to start writing a cv. I haven't written one in over a decade and can't really remember how it's done anymore. I need a job, I just don't want one.

Ugghh is right!, but I have a suggestion:  

Get a really supportive person to sit with you --and your favorite beer-- at the computer, to let you procrastinate a while and then brainstorm a cv of any sort.  Even if it is copying your last one.  Next, you take a break to laugh and rant, before you try to polish it ... a little.

Then you give yourself a big treat, (rinse and repeat for several days).

Another way is to first, find a motivating job offer that will inspire a cv out of you.  (;

Ooops!  Forgot the essential question:  What do I want to do when I grow up?

Damn, really supportive person ??? Errr, {blank}. Copy my last one ??? No copy of that exists.

I'll wing it..eventually.

If you can wait until we meet, I can help you to draft a CV. I've done it many times for friends and others...

I'd be very grateful. I'll still have to do one in the next day or so but if you would critique it for me when we meet that'd be fabulous as i'm pretty sure I won't get a job that quickly.
