Dealing with Reality

As I expected, yesterday was all about being responsible. Stopped by Costco to get the skinny on apply there; they're hiring part-time seasonal help starting in October, so now is the time to apply, however. They get, like, 400 job applications a day. The nice lady in customer service said to apply online, then show up w/ my resume and ask to speak w/ the manager. Introduce myself. Will do, as taking on a part-time job that pays well for 3-4 months would only be a boon. I paid a bill, I stayed an hour after work to make up for the hour early I'd leave on Wednesday, got groceries, cooked all my lunches and dinner for the rest of the week, painted my nails (necessary for a job interview). Had to play with cats and feed myself and then it was time for bed. 

No writing was done :( but I have been working on my outline here at work (today is a rare day where I don't have 2 project and phones to answer). Today's plan is to sneak work on the outline while at work, research and prep for the PayPal interview tonight (need to print 2). Fill out the Costco application (at least start it).

Again, this is the precise reason why I needed to have my first draft done by now, rather than trying to do both at once. It sucks having to prioritize a real-world job hunt over noveling.
