Resignation - Day 14 of 21
Tomorrow is officially my final week at work. ::gasp-second-thoughts::
Now I have limited funds and no career prospects promised to me. I applied to three more jobs today. I'm sensing a pattern here. I also spoke with someone at Starbucks and asked how much working there sucked. She said not so much so that might be my part-time wage-slave plan B come February. I'm not giving up hope on finding something more 9-5 but it doesn't hurt to look a wee bit before leaping.
Productive day of shopping. My savings hurt. I have to get my Dad one more thing but then I'm DONE. I hope I get lovely things this year because I can officially no longer afford to get myself anything nice anymore.
Still editing Woven. I'm up to page 100 in pen-markings and 90 in transcribing to computer so I'm catching up with my own efforts. When I was at the place I get my nails done Nina (part of Tina and Nina who I helped unburied from a snowstorm) was telling her daughter China I was a writer when China asked what I did. I tried to explain that I was simply unemployed, but I showed her some of the pags I had with me and explained that it was like her school work - I do it then go back to make sure I got everything right before I turned it in. China, who's about 10, wanted me to read some to her so I read the first few paragraphs of page 100. I usually hate reading aloud but I did a good job of it and China was hanging on every word as I read it.
It was a great feeling to have someone listening and believing what I was telling them. I think I'm going to do my best to remember China everytime I wonder why I do the writing thing.
