well, it looks like i could soon be kissing my much-loved free time goodbye. i've only handed out my resume to a couple of places, but i've already got an interview for tomorrow.

it's at a real estate office as a part time receptionist. i haven't even applied to any temp agencies yet though.

i just finished my excel course too. i've still got to do all the testing, but at least i've got all the information and should be able to prove my skills to a potential employer.

i only need to know word for the receptionist position. but a lot of the temp agencies like to see proficiency in excel. so yay! it's good to have excel out of the way, though i'll feel much better once i'm done the test.

i had a really shitty weekend, so the week is off to a good start. i got pissed off at humanity in general (and two asshole strangers specifically) and took about 10 rounds out of my punching bag.

gods, i love that thing. too bad going ten rounds when you're out of shape makes you SORE for 3 days. i could barely lift my arms on sunday. my back, shoulders, and hands all hurt. plus, i hit the thing wrong once and now i've got a huge bruise on one of my knuckles. oi.

still felt good to beat the shit out of that thing. too bad you can't go around beating up stupid people though. that'd be much better.

we went swimming last night, and i just got back from the gym and i'm feeling much better now. i haven't lost anymore weigh or inches, but my body fat is down a bit. so that's good.

i've also been doing a lot of work on the binded. well, it feels like a lot of work. i'm just at a slow chapter and it's taking longer than i would like it to. there's no action in this chapter and for some reason, those ones just take longer to write.

it's also one of the chapters that intersects with "empire of dirt" so i'm constantly going between the two books to make sure everything is coherent. oi.

now that employment is looming on the horizon, i'm really feeling the pressure. i want to get as much of it written as i can while i've still got lots of time and energy.

for now, i've got to shower, grab lunch and then go run some errands. when i get home, i get to clean the house. joy!! (please note extreme sarcasm)

i need a maid.

daily dose of stupid:
