deathpixieGot in at 10, left by 11. *grins* Boss stuffed up the schedule this week, putting on bunches of people in the morning and not having any evening shifts going on, so she shifted me from working today to working Friday instead. No biggie. She also took me aside and tried to talk me into not leaving by offering me three weekdays off a week (working both Saturday and Sunday instead) and a pay rise (apparently my three months are nearly up and I'm 'due' one, which, according to my co-workers, is a bunch of hooey. I should be on $9 an hour already since I'm no longer on dishes). What I'd really like is to get a call from Legal Aid today solving the issue entirely, but I can't expect that, so I told her I'd think about it tonight and tomorrow I'll tell her thanks but no thanks. I have a Plan, and I'm sticking to it.
And in the jobsearch news... applied for five yesterday, another four today. That's my goal, at least five a day if the jobs are available. That makes something like 25 a week just counting week days, and given the odds, something has to come good. And I'll be calling my agencies on Monday to let them know I'm officially Not Working and to please to be pulling their fingers out and getting me interviews, dammit.
I've been writing, but nothing I can post yet. Damn rpg plot ideas that eat your brain and demand pre-writing. But it's a lot of fun, and I'm expanding my style a bit doing it. Or rather, tapping into some stuff I haven't done for a while. It's very cinematic and stream of consciousness...
Oh, also heard from my dad the other night. His knee surgery went well and he's recovering nicely. Sounded rather chipper, too. This makes me happy.
... I'm tempted to make a voice post just so people can let me know if my accent is changing. I'm noticing a couple of things, but the locals only hear the Aussie part.
