a little fall of rain
Jun. 6th, 2006 04:03 pmI have a job again. 6-ish weeks, south-west Sydney, reasonable pay (worse than it was in Canberra, but still overall pretty good), long hours and a deadline to be met. It'll be an interesting challenge. Especially since this period is going to encompass a time when I'm doing some work for the stepdad (he has deadlines as well, and I get paid), and a time when I'm moving my stuff out of my big bedroom into one that is full of my sister's stuff.
So, yes, interesting. Hopefully, I'll have enough time to breathe, and a job will help my mental state (which has been running on depressed for a while now).
Hah. The frustrating agent who didn't even call to say I didn't get the Canberra job called today and I was able to turn him down and say that I didn't know anyone with the skills they required. Petty, perhaps, but satisfying. I still think it's polite to call and say, "Sorry, they went with someone else."
On the personal side, things go up and things go down. Mostly down, actually, but it's winter, I'm out of work, my writing is not going well, my state of mind is weary, and my state of body is podgy. Bleh.
In the writing side, the fanfic is taking over again, the profic is going down. If I really consider it, both fanfic and profic are going down because I'm not writing stuff that I'm really satisfied with. And the stuff I'm satisfied with...people don't generally like. And the profic is sort of stuck in the mud; I'm trying to move beyond this one scene, but it's an effort.

I always imagined I'd be more successful/interesting by the time I turned 30 than I actually am. I guess most people do.
