Owe My Soul to the Company Man

The job search is making me rather depressed at the moment and last night I had a dream about being late for one of my online reference shifts. Last night I had a wonderful time hanging out with the_croupier as our schedules just haven't been matching up at all. It was so nice to wander in Dawn Treader, have a good dinner and then tea and talk about this strange world. When we were shopping I found two amazing finds, a paper version of Homeward Bounders and Life on the Border, one of the early Borderlands' books. So that was good but my plans for applying for jobs this week seem to keep falling through.

I was going to send out some applications today but the postings had been taken down. I need to get a better plan going for finding and applying for jobs so its just part of what I do. My body is also picking up on my stress and worry about not hearing back from any places I've sent resumes out to and I'm feeling sore and worn out. I think I'm going to try and get back into Monday to Monday plan and use it to organize my job searching and other things around the job stuff like writing library blog posts and going to events in Ann Arbor.

Little things are worrying at me too. I was thinking about trying to make roast chickpeas for dinner tonight and even though I went shopping and bought huge local sweet potatoes and some pasta for mac and cheese, I forgot paper towels so no chickpeas tonight. Also I have some leftovers that I need to clear out and to stock up on some other things. My last few rounds of shopping aren't as organized and thoughtful as they should be and so my pantry isn't in a good spot.

This weekend is going to be good though, I get paid on Friday and then I'm going to drive towards the airport to enjoy Conclave. Cons are good for my soul, there's something about spending time around fellows geeks and I get to see one of my favorite authors and things will get better. Tonight I'm going to run a Happy Hour in milliways_bar, have a short online reference shift, try and do some more writing on my various works in progress and make job plans.

Now to get me doing more on the various works in progress, I'm going to borrow a meme from walksbyherself as for once I actually have works in progress. Its so nice to find myself writing more.

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.
