Life.

So almost immediately after I wrote my sad post on Thursday a whirlwind of things happened and everything got super exciting and I meant to write about it before it died down and then I sat down this morning to do just that and it - well, it died down.

It started like this: first I got a call on Thursday asking for me to come in to said interview, and then I trolled craigslist and found an opening for a Latin position that was not a scam, applied to several Wells Fargo positions in and around Tucson, and then corresponded with the head of the school with said Latin teacher opening. That was all really neat and uplifting.

But by Saturday I'd already gotten two "there are more suitable applicants" from Wells Fargo (how is someone more suitable for a teller position? I got this from another bank I applied to as well - I wonder if it's just overqualification at this point or something). By Sunday I had written and re-written the essay for the Latin application and grown increasingly convinced that I simply am not going to be qualified enough. This morning I got a call from the other place passing me up and still I've heard nothing from said head person since Friday. My hopes have all flagged, as if Thursday was nothing but a burst of wind that has died down to still air. Time to get out the oars and keep trucking.

The rest of everything is fine and delightful, though. Just hopeless on the job front which pretty much permeates everything else. But friends are awesome. Went to Ikea and cooked all of Sunday with the_verb. Coddled Doug on Friday and then hung out with her properly last night. Finally figured out how to print our STDs, so those are all done and stamped. Next challenge: Open Office's mail merge for the envelopes.

I'm doing a terrible job with editing. I know I'm letting everything else distract me because I dun wanna, even though I was just recently super excited about these edits. I'm not entirely sure how to fix this aside from recognizing that I'm using the stress from everything else as a way to procrastinate and that these edits need to absolutely be my top priority until they're done. :/

Anyway, gots to go get changed and ready for this volunteer orientation. I've been super productive this morning knowing I'd be going to this and my afternoon wouldn't be free; I'm hoping if I add in some volunteer hours a few days a week it will help kick me out of this funk a little faster, or at least get me to be more productive. Then I'm going to go help a friend clean their house and steal tools from Doug so we can get these awesome new blackout curtains from Ikea up and- and- and-

Yeah, and nowhere in there am I allowing time for edits. Hmm. And I wonder why they're not getting done?
