Awesomeness, etc.
Keeping with my prediction that November == awesome, I present to you a short (drastically incomplete) list of things that are right with the world:
1. This beautiful weather. I know it's going to get cold soon, but dammit, that doesn't mean I'm not going to enjoy one more day of skirt-weather.
2. Getting on top of the job application thing. I think I'll have an application in by Friday, and I'm sure I'll feel immensely better immediately. Seriously, this whole job thing has been an albatross around my neck for months.
3. This weekend I get to puppy-sit, which involves me having a house to myself with Direct TV, free food, two really cute puppies, and I get 60 bucks for it.
4. I will have a bunch of time this weekend to power through some data for my research, and I've finished my script that semi-automates the work. Once I get that done, along with some job apps in, I will be able to stop being a hermit.
5. I got moved from doing the satellite service desk 3.5 days a week to only 2. I get to fix computers the other times, hurrah!!
6. The only drawback about that is it messes with my writing goals a bit. So I'm just going to say my goal is to write over the course of the whole month the amount that I would if I kept to my original goal, so about 16,000 words. I'm doing well so far!
7. Last but certainly not least, Barack Obama. YES WE FUCKING CAN. (Also, my phone spell-checker now recognizes the word "Obama," but lj does not yet.) I am actually proud of my country for the first time I can think of. It melts my icy little heart and brings tears to my eyes. How many elections do people end up dancing in the streets after the winner is announced??
