Well... better... :)
Hey Kids,
strange as it might seem, I do actually like working.
(okay... maybe more correctly, I like working WITHIN my profession. I mean there is no way I could handle working in retail.)
Working gives me structure in my life. Sure, it gives me grief at the now lack of spare time, but in some ways that is the point. With nothing to complain about, what do you have to complain about? :P
So I dislike not working for extending periods. I get bored, I find myself wasting my days and, well, I run out of money.
So, my pleasing news today is that while I have not formally been given 'The SUMMONS', the trumpets that announce an incoming herald have definitately sounded. So looks positive that I will be back at work this month. YA!!!
(context - I am employed as a Casual. When they have a peak workload, I am the labour they throw at the problem. The pay is great, the hours are all over the calender.)
In other 'getting off my arse' news, I have nearly finished my Hack Draft of Book 2! YA!!!! Think I have the plot points all lined up so it reads logically from start to finish. I was stuck a bit on the end chapter where I tied up all the loose ends and everyone lives happily ever after(tm). There had been a reasonably large death toll in the story and to casually go back to making jokes seemed a bit mood whiplash. Effectively I had finished the 'story' but was ignoring the consequences.
Hmmm... just occurred to me I COULD have gone Disney Ending and just had a massive song and dance number kick in. Songs about Princesses solve everything :P
So yeah - feeling a lot better about life than I did yesterday :D Ya to work :P
