I'm so damned annoyed with myself. I let my bills pile up until the end of the month - I always tend to do this - and by the time it's time to pay my rent my credit card bill is a few days overdue. I swear I think they time it that way so that they can catch me up. I know they do! I mean, who the heck ever heard of having your bill due on the 26th instead of just the 30th? And why do I always forget that this is the case?? I'm such an idiot! And every month I tell myself that I'm not ever going to do that any more - I'm going to balance my checkbook at least once every two weeks, it would make everything so much easier. And yet I just don't do it. Why Can't I Remember!?
So, my bills are paid, and I wrote email to Teena.
I have not yet started on the re-writes for Chapter Seven. I was amazed that Eor got the beta read done last night! And he also did Chapter Six; for some reason I guess I didn't get him to read through Chapter Six before I posted it. I had no idea there were so many problems. Not huge changes, but a number of little things that don't read well.
I figured out (finally!) how to print out the resume I built on the USAJobs site. Hopefully I'll finish getting it sorted out and ready to send, soon. Seeing it in print all kinds of little things pop out that I don't see when I look at it on the screen. I realized I don't have the last name of the other woman who was my first manager at Lamprey Health Care. I guess I'll have to write to Lamprey. Getting all perfectionist about my resume is one way to avoid sending it out, but the time fast approaches when I'll really need to start sending it. A job with the IRS was posted yesterday. Pays over $2,000 less than what I'm getting now, but it's clerical work so I'm thinking about it. And they might not start me that low with my previous government experience. Either way, if I understand correctly, I'll get to keep all my vacation time and possibly the sick time, and continue accruing it at the same rate I do now, so I'm not sure I'll miss that much money over a year if it means a change of scene and reduction in my stress level.
Must run.
