Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Tuesday productivity is a project that needs finishing and delivering by around 5p; hence license on Wednesday. I am going to go to bed now and get up early. The morning time will be useful even if I end up finishing the project in the afternoon. I also need to make at least ten phone calls tomorrow. Hmmm. This accountability thing may have something to it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There was a guy in the pharmacy giving a masterclass in creepy.

  • "Your hands must be really soft..." The pharmacist looked at him with both horror and, well, lots of horror. "You're putting lotion on your hands," he explained.
  • After I gave my address for ID purposes (sans apartment #) he says brightly "I'll be round for dinner!" I turned to the pharmacist and asked her why they were letting criminals in there, and he interjected "I'm not a criminal! I'm a comedian!" I gave him the *this close* hand gesture, and he kept talking, but I did not concomitantly keep listening. I responded to his first excuse with "No, not good enough" and his second with "Maybe, a little. Just a little." But I truly have no idea what he was saying, because my brain had run ahead and gotten into my car without me.

He was just so gross.

hip deep in pie

This conversation is reminding me that my to do list for this weekend involved redoing the leaky caulking in the bathtub. It's still undone.

not your mom's socks.

JenP, don't forget to take your SSN card and a power bill or something like it to prove your address. There's a whole list of things, somewhere. PA registration is ... about as logical as its beverage sales.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh hell, I did not do any of the house things I could do or even want to do. I did none of the cleaning things.

These were the need to do today things:

1 send resumes to recruiters friend contacted on my behalf
2 update Linked-In, Monster, & Careerbuilder
3 apply to 2 jobs sent to me by family & friends this week
4 call psychiatrists on insurance to get appt
5 gather paperwork for mac's leg brace stuff

Then I felt bad and had a late start and mom came over with the want-ads with things highlighted and I added

6 apply for jobs mom highlighted

to the list

Then stuff took longer that I wanted and then recruiters responded so the following got added

7 fill out placement firms online application
8 send recruiter resume in doc formate with additional info
9 get reference list updated and ready for tomorrow
10 take MS Word and Excel skills test
11 print out updated resume
12 find second form of ID for interview
13 iron suit for interview

So I did 1 and 2/3 of 2, then added a 2.5 which was apply to 2 jobs on Monster. Then skipped to 7 & 8 & 13. Am doing 9 right now. Want to take a review for 10 since I have been in a mac office for the last 6 months. Then I will do 12. 11 I will do in the morning.

3-6 get pushed to tomorrow's list, which is already screwed up because now there is a 2 hour long interview plus commute in there.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"I'm not a criminal! I'm a comedian!"

Not mutually exclusive, dude. Also creepy. A trifecta of "c" words, really.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck tomorrow, msbelle! Keep on keeping on.

Sox - thanks, and yes, I saw that -- anymore, when I go to the DMV, I print out a copy of requirements from the website, check off what I've got against what they require, and take it with me! Honestly, Maryland DMV foiled me, because I had a copy of my lease, not an original, so I had to leave with no love that day. I was like, "Really???" Argh. But it's not like you can win an argument there, so... off I went.

Kick ass, tomorrow, msbelle!!!
