I still like hanging out with a certain someone. Or napping.

I finally got to that party in Derry, NH. Good things: bonfire, meeting new people. The only downside was the light pollution being worse than I expected.

Having the hardest time getting to sleep. Oh, I start to sleep fine, then my brain wakes up at 2AM and I am trying to sleep again. If it weren't for a very loud bird, I would have slept all day Tuesday. Maybe I should have, considering the bottleneck happening during morning rush hour.

I got a filling, or rather a filling redone.

Walking to the West Hingham commuter rail station from work was good exercise. However, I will not do that again. Especially with those freaking cars whizzing by me. Maybe I will stick to my plan of going to Hull by bus.

If I ask people here if I can do written projects for them on spec or for barter, would they accept that offer?

A boy read my Tarot cards 13-14 years ago in the Pit. Thoth deck. I thought of kissing him after, but pulled away.

Two weeks ago, at the no-longer-housewarming party, I thought I saw him again. He was taller, though, his face was fuller. But I remember that hair, I remember those glasses, and the gentle look.

I should have asked him if he was that boy. Maybe he remembered what my reading was. I certainly cannot.

Went back to work. Less coughing, but I cannot do high notes, and I still cough hard.

I think I have an idea of a 'perfect job', but I have to work at it a little.

I feel more energetic, but I am aware that I need to go to bed early enough to keep that momentum. So, night.

I got an 'exceeds expectations' review at my full-time job.

I had to leave my part-time work earlier because I was freezing.

I revert to my habit of reading 'hip young Jewish people' blogs for my ger education and fall out of the chair laughing: Hipster Judaism Mad Libs

So, I'm working overtime. I worked longer than I thought on two very long claims. Gah, I was feeling like I deserved an adult beverage. I got a cab ride home instead.

I haven't been called back from that place in SF. Just as well they didn't have a face to face interview. They might have gotten enough local and more clueful candidates.

I spent the morning trying to find bowls for lunch.

The shortfall in my account was more than I thought, but I started keeping a daily record of what I spend, eat, and move around. So, I will work to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I'm trying to write again, but nothing is happening.

I am apparently better at customer service and telephone etiquette than I thought I was.

But if I try for a position in my company, they will all 'you have to raise your accuracy scores.' And getting 4 errors out of 18 is not good. I have to tell myself it will not always be like this.

I could pass the Chicago Style editing exam if I get my hands on the book.

I'd go for an editor or tech writing position, but they look for 5-10 years of experience. I have been writing help files on and off since 1997--does that qualify or they mean continuous job?

I suggested a sheet with past e-mails and spoken announcements. My supervisor said she would pass it on to the subject matter expert, but I haven't heard anything this week. I am starting some of it, and I wonder if I should even bother continuing it.

I do need two things: ideas for a step-by-step instruction sheet and another person I can use for a recommendation.

Gah, I spent another Saturday at home. Moron.

Going to work is oddly stabilizing after all that blizzard/cold business.

I made a few cracks at writing to alumni, got an error overturned, and a bill paid. However, I am nowhere near finishing looking for alumni, I haven't completed the chapter in A certification and I found out that my company does not reimburse for professional/technical certification. Where am I going to get money so I don't have to hold it off until I get savings?

And I'm interviewing for a telephone rep position for this company specializing in web interfaces for doctors and hospitals for communicating with health care providers. They had a tech support position, but that was in Santa Fe.
