I had my fifth interview yesterday and today I got called back and offered a job! I’m a receptionist at an office and it’s full time hours! I’m so excited. I really didn’t want to have to go back to retail. I get my afternoons and weekends off, paid holidays, and a paycheck. I’m just glad that the search is finally over and I don’t have to sit around waiting and hoping that someone will call me back with a job offer.

I love writing, but I have a horrible time just sticking to one idea. I get pretty far with one story idea, until another idea strikes me and I take off with the new idea. I’ve been working on one story for quite a while, but I need to plan more about what I want to happen, since all my ideas are a bit vague…
It would be awesome to have a story published; I just need to buckle down and write on a main story (or two…) and write daily... ugh, I feel the lazy coming on already.
I haven’t been doing too badly lately. I finished up Anna Karenina and went on to The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories, Frankenstein, Winter Rose, and am currently in the middle of Canterbury Tales, which I am surprised to find out how much I enjoy it. I thought it might be a tough read the way that it’s written, but if I can find a nice quiet space to devote to reading it, it goes along quite easily.
I have no idea how many more books I have to go; most of mine are in the basement in boxes still, and I keep bringing more of them upstairs. Yet I haven’t bought any more! ...but it’s not as if I currently have any money to do so… :P
