magedragonfireAaaaaah T-1 week to figure out WTF to do with Midgard characters. Hopefully brain will not go boom by then.
I think I'll spend tomorrow writing up the Second Heaven apps, though. After I get back from my new job. (Easiest interview ever - Trav says over MSN that his dad needs someone to clean the offices out every weekend, I say sure, boom, I'm hired.) At least I'll finally have a bit of leeway in spending money.
Sigh. My last fish seems to also have succumbed to the swim-bladder malfunction. Not dead yet, but... Well, the others didn't last particularly long. I don't think he will, either. I'll have to empty out the tank and give it a good scrub after this, I suppose... And then figure out if I want to put anything in it, or just give it a rest for a bit.
My short-term memory is the worst thing ever. In the past week, I've managed to set the kettle on to boil probably, oh, fifteen times, and then completely forget about it. I'll usually have a craving for hot chocolate, put on the kettle, wander away to do something, and then (eventually) come back to find the water cold, only to set it on again, and the cycle repeats. If I did not have a kettle that had an automatic shut-off, who knows how many would have boiled dry and scorched by now. XD
*shuffles off to work more on layout, mwee*

Yay for job, it's nice when they just come to you like that. I'm looking forward to starting my new one in a few weeks. $14 an hour to sit on my ass replying to email!

Date: 2007-03-25 08:34 am (UTC)It is! I was hoping to scrape by the full semester without working, but this whole 20 bucks in the bank thing really isn't my idea of a fun time. (To reply to e-mail? Sheesh. That's better than the 12-bucks data entry one I had - surely then at least your brain gets a small workout.)

Date: 2007-03-25 08:56 am (UTC)Now there's an auto-off electric where I am. Eh, it works.
I discovered a solution to the wandering off thing though!
Bring a gameboy to the kitchen with you! Set the kettle on, and then play the gameboy while waiting for it to boil!

Only 20 in the bank, and it's not even April? Ick, yeah. I've been there myself (though not in school). Actually, I'm always there My current job is too hard to do fulltime (heavy labour) and only pays $9, so i barely squeak by each month. Hence much looking forward to this new job.
The job is CSR/email support for online poker, answering customer email. Occaisional phone support as well, but it's rare. $14-16 depending on shift, benefits after 3 months, OT availiable, very nice looking place, and easy to get to (1 bus from New West station).
However, I believe they're looking for full time only, which doesn't work with school, obviously. Otherwise I'd totally tell you to go for it - they're looking to hire a lot.
