Well, everyone's done this already, but I actually went to the link from arjuna_lj's journal...

2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Bold is good, strike is bad...

(and in my case neither means I don't know what it is, usually. or I have no feeling for or against it. Or I ran out of time.)

Actually my reaction to most of the bolded ones is "sure, that'd be great if I had schooling in that direction and there were any jobs doing that around here." But, guess what?

work on Chapter Eight...

...is begun. I guess I should feel good about that, but it took me hours of avoidance behavior to get three solid paragraphs and a few stray lines. I even did dishes - you can guess how far gone I am if I voluntarily do dishes. So I'm thinking that these first few paragraphs are probably not too very good. I'm never a good critic for my own work.

At least it's something.

Now I'm going to sleep. And hope that tomorrow eor's tummy is good enough to have french toast, as I wish to have that and multiple pots of tea before going to work. (He had an involuntary purge this morning, after having ice-cream for supper last night. Given this rather violent reaction seemed to have been brought on by dairy he looked askance at the kefir I brought home from the store for him, but I'm hoping he can take a little and it might get his bacteria into balance again.)

I owe e-mail or some kind of contact to my Aunt, my brother Eightball and to Teena. Not to mention Hawk's birthday is in 3 days! Crap! I've really got to get my ass in gear.
