(no subject)
Things I need to do this week, that I really don't want to do but I really have to:
- Write my sociology 321 paper, which thankfully is very short since I've left it until two days before it's due to even start writing it. The thing is, this paper is basically a glorified "What do you want to be when you grow up?" assignment, with the tiniest bit of sociological theory thrown in.
- Go to the bank! That wad of $20 bills that I've been carrying around in my wallet for weeks on end? Yeah, might be a good idea to get it into a bank account before someone steals it or I do something characteristically stupid like leaving my wallet in a store after making a purchase. Also, I have a huge number of cheques stacked up on my bookshelf at home, and they're really not doing me a whole lot of good there.
- Actually study something. Midterms are coming up quicker than I'd care to admit.
- Hunt down the guy who owes me $400 and seems to have mysteriously disappeared off the face of the planet, then make him ACTUALLY PAY ME, because generally the rule of thumb is that when you hire someone to do contract work for a web development project, you actually PAY THEM on completion of the project instead of ceasing to respond to all emails and other communication attempts. Or at least that's the way I thought it worked. To make matters worse, this guy was a friend. And was is the key word in that sentence, because friends don't con each other out of such significant monetary amounts.
- Hunt down the client who owes me $800 and make him pay me, thus ending a project that has gone on for far too long. And by far too long, I mean that I've been trying to get this guy's website done for almost THREE YEARS now, and he is just so completely scatter-brained that he can never find the time to get me the rest of the content for the site. He claims he wants it finished and up on the web, and yet I'm STILL WAITING for the gross majority of content. But I will make him pay. Wait, that kind of sounded like the threat, didn't it...
- Start seriously searching for a summer job, so I don't get stuck flipping burgers at McDonald's or something. No offence to any burger flippers out there, but I would most likely die after only a few seconds on that job. Food and me, we don't always get along so well. And by that I mean that while I LOVE to eat (particularly when chocolate is involved), I have a severe aversion to anything related to most aspects of food preparation and all aspects of cleaning up other people's food. The goal here is something that a) actually pays above minimum wage, and b) doesn't make me want to strangle myself within five seconds of starting each shift. Oh, and c) preferably is not managed by the spawn of satan, as my last summer job with with the Gap was. Am I asking too much here?
