Paul Lehr did tonight’s deliciously retro artwork.
Tomorrow, you guys…tomorrow is 2 years to the day that I started this daily deluge of mind-puke-ness…this journey through my fears and my triumphs and my random thoughts and my likes and my dislikes.
But, that’s for tomorrow. Not for today.
I worked today. Long and hard (he he) and I got my work done! It was a weird day because I knew I wanted to take off and go to the writers’ meeting that was happening over at Nikolai’s place. I also knew I needed to actually get my work done…and I did. I got it done. One straggly minute left behind, but otherwise, mischief managed guys! That’s how much of a rhythm I really am in right now, I had a day that wasn’t locked into the tried and true schedule, and I still succeeded. It took a rally at the very end, but I did it.
The reason for the rally was actually that it looks like this other job opportunity might actually go through. I have an orientation on Friday, actually. Make that Thursday. I got distracted from writing this for a hot second and then came back and read the last sentence I’d written and was like “dude! It’s Thursday. Why did you even write it was on Friday?” Real-time thoughts right there.
Yeah, so that’s happening. It’s actually a pay cut for me now…something that two years ago would have been utterly inconceivable, but that’s just how efficient I’ve managed to get with my Remilon work. Thing is…I’ll take the pay cut for now. I’m at my peak with Remilon. I’ll never be able to do more work in an hour than I’m doing right now. This other opportunity, should it go through, STARTS at just below where I’m at at my peak with Remilon. That means there’s room for improvement. And I’m not leaving Remilon. This other opportunity would be part-time anyway to start.
It’s simply a matter of taking opportunities as they present themselves, folks. I still have to have a day job for the foreseeable future. I’m pledging to change that, it’s start right now with the work I’m choosing to focus my writing on…but until that time, I quite simply have to pay my rent and put food on my table. And in that regard, the more options I have for income the better. I will never be as poor as I was three years ago ever again. Can’t do it. We have to know our limits, right? Right.
Voyager is almost done. Neelix left the ship today. Don’t know why they decided to do that. I mean, it was very touching seeing the way they sent him off…but I still object to the idea. What’s the point of him deciding to make the Voyager crew his family and follow them across the cosmos is he’s not going to see it through and make it home with them? Not a fan. I’m already starting to feel the melancholy of the show winding down. I can’t help it, I just get attached to each show, and these endings…they’re full of the feels. Invariably. The writing and the acting is steeped in it, it oozes from every moment, whether the episode is focusing on it or not. I’ll miss the show…just like I did for each of the others. It’s almost November 1st…I still have one more show to go.
That’s all for tonight, it’s time for bed. Pups are getting their treats from the Ho and snuggling up on the bed now. It’s time for the sleeps. Good night! Tomorrow…writing 🙂
