ToDo List - 4-12-2010 Checked Off
Laundry
Writing
Applications sent out for at least three new jobs
That's a good feeling.
I knew laundry was getting done, since I don't have to leave the apartment for put quarters into a machine. But I was distracted from the others by breakfast, and Doctor Who. And a bit in the middle, just before eating breakfast but after watching Doctor Who, when I tripped a breaker and had to shuffle boxes around a bit to get to the breaker box conveniently mounted in my room.
The applications were next, and Dice.com makes it easy to send out my resume for three or four positions in short order.
I also have tabs open in firefox for two other positions that bypass Dice's application process, so they'll get handcrafted cover letters and a resume that's one revision newer than the one I have on Dice.
I used dinner a a carrot to get the writing done for the secret project, which in retrospect may not have been the best idea because it's not half past ten and my dinner options are more limited. I did get a first draft done though, including eight or ten lines of iambic quadrameter: four pairs of syllables with a stressed syllable following an unstressed syllable. I think it'll play well in the final work if it makes it past review. The joys of collaborative projects.
I also wrote a summary of action in the past two sessions for the fourth edition game I'm in Saturday mornings. I used it as a pre-writing exercise to get myself in the writing mindset for the seekrit project. I don't think the summary is as entertaining as some of my previous summaries, but they can't all be great.
Tomorrow I think I'll knock a few items off this list:
Apply for three more IT positions in the Seattle area
Mail a letter
Write another journal entry for Zombie Ian MacKellen
and if I'm feeling ambitious,
Write another two scenes in Optinomicon
