So Now What?
Still nothing from the agencies, so I’m going to have go on the offensive. There are four outstanding leads at the moment. Two of which are maybe, one’s a long shot and one is something that would be really interesting. But I haven’t heard a thing, I put it down to the fact that the Easter Holidays were on but now I’m getting worried.
Presently, I’m still getting my knowledge sucked out of my head but I’ve got two things of higher priority. In both cases, I feel like they’re pushing me to get these done before I'm kicked out the door. Feeling more and more isloated and people who I used to like are indifferent at best and I don't want to even consider the worst.
On the personal side of things, LSW and I are exhausted. Mind you LSW and I aren’t getting on too well at the moment. It’s the combined stress of this job and the extension that she wants to put in place. The kids are running us ragged. Even thought they are a lot better behaved. We’ve had to put a star chart up for their sleeping and as soon as the chart goes up, they’ve started to sleep well. Wish I could say the same for me.
Three to four hours sleep a night due to the stress at work. Maybe it would be better if I had something else lined up but hell, how do follow up working on Coronation Street and Emmerdale? I don’t know. It feels like a missed opportunity. I could have tried something more with my writing and get into some of the writer’s sessions.
LSW is more stressed about the neighbours, the one we’re worried about hasn’t given us back the party wall response, another couple of days and we’ll be considered in dispute. I’ve got to fill out this planning application and it’s very confusing. I’ll call up the builders and see if they can help or give a quote on the plans. I’ve still got to do a diagram of the new parking spaces we’re going to need.
The Business is still being set up. The Mac Mini arrived yesterday. I had to buy a new keyboard for it but it seems to work fine. Now I’ve got to get it hooked up to the Net and get the iPhone Development set up.
