The Aerie

Big Day Tuesday

Okay, so I'm hoping to get work tomorrow. Interviews have gone well so far. Also I have a big assignment that I am hoping to draft tomorrow. If I can get a first draft tomorrow I'll be on track for the Thursday due date.

It's just as well I'm getting work now. No, no, not FINANCIALLY. I'm independently wealthy and I only work for the fun of it - I use the cash to light cigars, which I roll out of cash. No, it's a good thing if I get work right now, because I've jammed my non-work schedule so full of stuff that I need a job in order to get a break! College classes, Tekumel Foundation stuff, FAFSA to fill out - hell, we just have to sign our taxes to get our return, and I haven't got THAT done yet. On the other hand, I did clean the bathroom this weekend.

A good bit of partying this weekend, too, which was fun. Saturday night was the church Valentine's Day dance. Our friend Kim asked us to go and it was our first time, we had a lot of fun. Then Sunday we went to this restaurant called Pierre's because we had a gift certificate and also a cash gift card we had been given.

The dinner was nice, and at the end they pointed out the fine print that said they don't take gift certificates on Valentine's day, and our cash gift card didn't process, and we ended up paying for it out of pocket. Good thing I've got a job coming up (cross fingers). But the company was good, and that's the important part on Valentine's Day!

Anyway today has been a bit of a wash: went to the gym, then got ready for my 3:00 interview, and spent the three hour wait studying up on the technology to be discussed at the interview. So it's been four days since my last class, and I've gotten no homework done, with a big paper due. Sigh. Okay, not gonna stress on it - getting a job is an important thing to do. And I worked on classwork afterwards.

So hopefully tomorrow I'll get a contract to start on Monday, and spend the intervening period getting my homework done and all the other stuff. And if I DON'T get a contract tomorrow, I've got an interview at 2:00 for a different position, so hope springs eternal.

Okay, off to sleep and then I hit the books...
