No Work Today

[rolanni]

I'd been hoping to pick up some extra hours, but the workforce hotline reported that everything was under control without me. So, I stayed at home and wrote in between doing the laundry.

The morning run of writing was mostly research, and then a rewrite of what I'm presently calling chapter four, to incorporate what I'd learned. The afternoon session broke new ground, and set up the entrance of a character I'm dying to play with, so I'm pleased.

Mozart went to the vet yesterday and has new medicine for his eye. Four applications later, it's looking markedly better. Color me relieved.

Dulsey and Scrabble were in the same room for hours today and nobody got killed, or even all that upset. Progress.

Need to make some notes for tomorrow's chapter -- at the moment I'm doing 1 scene=1 chapter, which will doubtless need to be addressed at a later point, but which is working well for me now -- and do a couple more chores. Then, a shower and a lazy evening curled up on the couch reading in my warm and decadent new robe.

Doesn't get any better than this.

Sorry, that was me. Thought I was logged in.

Actually, no; I didn't get the job. Didn't even get the first face-to-face interview. Lack of "current" (i.e. verifiable within the last five years) work history. Freelance writer and woman of all work for SRM Publisher not counting. Sooooo, what I'm doing right now is a seasonal customer service gig with LLBean.

Grrrrrrrr. They be idjits.

Sorry to hear it, but at least LL Bean has half a brain (seasonal).

Perhaps this is an argument for incorporating. At least that way you can say you work for a company that is not you. Sorta.
