Got up this morning early, after going to bed way early last night due to yesterday's vapor lock. Got up, got the usual done. Didn't really get motivated on anything til a friend of mine messaged me about a contract position at where he works was opening up. Since said friend really enjoys his job, I decided to take this as a sign to get my ass in gear...

So I promptly had an anxiety attack. Blah. Took my xanax, flaked a bit, then put on my big cultist robes and started just poking around, rereading friends' resumes, looking for examples, and bit by bit I got it done. Note to self, Holst's 'Mars, Bringer of War' is good resume inspiration. Bit by bit, I got it done, and LinkedIn updated. I just emailed it off to some friends for eyeballs. Glaaahhhh. *thud*

So, yeah...I'm hoping this will work out. I'd prefer a perm position, but both me and my friend think that if I can get my foot in the door, they'll love me and keep me forever. And even if they don't, it's a job, it's income and I can still jobhunt while contracting. So we'll see. If nothing else, this was the kick in the ass I needed to get things moving along. *deep breaths*

So, to wind down, I'm reinstalling some VMs. Yeah, I calm myself in the weirdest ways. I also have an Asylum disaster flick playing, 'Asteroid vs Earth'. Once the movie is done, I'll go off to do my day's walking, come home, make dinner and see what happens tonight. So, any long term good thoughts you have, I could use them. Ok, catch you guys later.

Well, clothes shopping went ok. 1 dress shirt, 2 polos, 2 pairs of slacks, 2 sets of cargo pants (sale), 1 tie *shudder*, 1 belt and a skeleton. Amazing what you can get at Walmart, though I don't think the skeleton is real, it is only 20" tall *wink* One of the items on my 'someday' wish list is get a quality anatomical skeleton for decoration purposes. I've been a skeleton fan since I was a kid, I blame D&D and Ray Harryhausen. So I had a weird check out, a tie and a skeleton in the same bag. (The tie is scarier). Oddly I couldn't find regular cotton tshirts, and only a few polos. Oh well, tshirts are pretty safe to buy online, so Amazoning I go.

After wally world, I grabbed some donuts from Dunkin' Donuts due to random craving, then I stopped by one of the Halloween stores to go walking around. Didn't get anything, though I was tempted to get a zombie squirrel. But, I was good, I did buy a skeleton after all *wink* Then I went to the mall and did my walking. Made goal, and caught up on my weekly goal, go me. Came home, got mail, unloaded and now I'm vegging. Will cook up dinner in a while. Also came up with inspiration for a Halloween costume that won't cost me anything, and fits the theme of 'fantasy' (not that kind you pervs). Yes, there will be pictures (probably).

So yeah, it's been a busy day. But things got done, and I'm still feeling good (even if my pant size is incrementing up again). Oh well, that's life here at Château Innsmouth. Catch you all tomorrow when we pray that my oil change is just an oil change.
