And so a new week begins...
Final count on the donated clothing: three bags full.
Spent yesterday at a writing marathon on the Eastside from 9 AM to 5 PM with one lunch break. Finally pushed through the wall that I've been hammering at on this short story. I may actually finish it today (thank God!). I so badly want to move on to something else.
Spent last night at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
markbourne's with his E, ironymaiden and her C watching eps 5 and 6 of Doctor Who Season Two, "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel" about which I hope to post within the next couple of days (but not now; too much to do this AM). Short version: great stuff. There may also be thoughts on the madness of Doctor Who fandom (please give a rest to the whole "Russell T. Davies has a homoerotic agenda" banner, okay? And also the "I hate Rose; she's a chav" stuff) and why, but for the occasional nifty link, I would unsubscribe from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
doctorwho.
I followed up this AM on call I got from a Microsoft recruiter last week. Turns out that as a result of a reorganization, hiring in this group has been put on hold for a bit. (But she liked me! She really, really liked me!) I shall make other follow-up calls today. My new policy on looking at job listings is not to look until Tuesday, though. Why? 1) Looking for a job on a Monday always depresses me. 2) By Tuesday, people have posted a number of fresh listings on places like Craigslist and Monster, so there are actually jobs to apply for. So from now on, Monday is for follow-up; Tuesday is for new beginnings.
It's raining in Seattle. I hear it's going to rain all week. No sun-guilt for me!
