Forcing myself to .......
Forcing myself to retain a positive work flow, and keeping busy whilst waiting for an expected call of whether I have a new job as a photographer for the government is really draining.  If I have it I want to party (not so much I cannot make it in tomorrow though) and if I don't have it, I want to turn my attention elsewhere but - not knowing is just killing me!

The interview went really well.  It was utterly informal, probably the most informal government interview I have heard of.  It was an EOI and basically only for an initial three month contract but the interview was great.  The questions thrown to me were exactly what I expected, the job fits perfectly in my skill set, was just enough of a challenge to keep me learning at the rate I enjoy, and the three interviewers absolutely GUSHED over my folio.  (which was SUCH an ego boost :p  ) The chief photographer there called my shots inspiring and at the end of it all they were all beaming like cheshire cats and promising a call on Tuesday...... So 1440hrs Wednesday is here and I am all but climbing the walls.  I phoned them this morning and the reply was a promise for a call back but that was four hours ago.

**face ↨ desk**

If not for a calming whisky and some Type O Neg loud enough to bug the entire block, I'd be going barking mad and out chasing trucks on foot in the middle of Sandgate Road.

I had a folio shoot planned for this evening but the model had to postpone by a week.

Perhaps I should do some paperwork -even make a early start on this quarter's TAX BAS statement - hrmm a no activity one, that should take all of 3 minutes. grrr

edit: got news back right on 5pm, I missed out and was the second choice for the job.  I'm on their short list at any point now that they need a shooter but this doesn't pay the bills I have due now.

Hello there. Shame about the job, I think you have the right idea in staying positive, though.

In response to the comment you left, it wasn't a HDD I was having problems with, as much as an entire computer! I haven't had it fixed yet, but it's on the (neverending) list of things to get done. Sometime soon.

Just out of curiosity, how did you find this journal?

Hi there,
my pc is on its last legs and if any of my removable HDDs are connected at all then the damn thing wont even make it through post on the BIOS. I'll just add it to the list, car, camera pc, laptop all kaktus. lol

I found your journal through the community journal for SG which I was linked to via a chat with Lithium Picnic.

Had a little temp work today at APN Newspapers though and while it was seriously underpaid I cant be picky at the moment.

Just a thought... Monk is a computer tech and I'm sure he wouldn't mind taking a look at your computer, if you want. He can often get replacement parts cheaper through his work, and doesn't charge friends for labor.

Oh bugger.

Well, they don't know what they're missing. Chin up, hun.

And bills are the arse. Hope the bill-fairy sprinkles some magic dust your way.

those bill-fairies avoid us as they seem to think I might eat them regardless of all my strong objections to them on account of being a vegetarian.
