I am currently (supposed to be) working on a large project at work. It's the kind of thing i keep wanting to put off, not because it's hard, but because it's drudgery. I have to email just under 200 companies for their listings in our directory. And that's just step one. Ick ( Read more... )

2/3 of my goals from last week were completed ( Read more... )

I completed zero of the six goals that I set for myself last week. We were going to press last week over at Light Metal Age with a very strict deadline, and we were slightly behind on our editorial.

Well, I finally got my resume to where I want it to be. I was frustrated, because I didn't have any editing experience to list on my resume. But with some help, I've reworked the format to focus on the aspects of my past jobs that involve writing or editing.

Now that I can breathe again, I just need to focus on writing the perfect cover letter.

It's going well. I like my teacher and he seems to be pretty knowledgeable about things ( Read more... )

After leaving my editing class last night, I drove up to the parking-lot pay booth and handed the woman my ticket. After a moment she turned back to me and asked for $12.50. I fished for my wallet and began to pull out the money, only to discover that I had something close to $11.75 in cash on me. I sighed (I knew this might happen), but I ( Read more... )
