Life update: busy busy

[dagronrat]

Just realised it has been yooooinks since I last posted about my life situation.

Here it is in an image:


Here it is in words:

• In the mornings, from about 8AM till 1PM I've been working as a school technician, mainly food prep and art side. Is still a job through a Temp Agency, and is looking like the constant reshaping of School Policy means my agency will no longer be the one the School will be allowed to get staff for my position through... Aka I'll probably be looking for another job come the Easter Holidays.
  


• Afternoons. Get home/back into town, eat lunch and either: 1) socialise, 2)unwind via Internet or 3)play video-games. General Artiness is slow, though I have been progressing on writing original material, and a short story should be available soon once the contest I submitted it to is over. It should be fun.
  


• Evenings: I work evenings too now, at a Betting Shop not far. Only it has been mostly every other night plus Sundays. Has helped a lot income-wise, since working as a temp in a school means that Holidays are a time when earnings tend to be non-existent if I haven't earned enough holiday pay. Evenings not spent working tend to be catch-up, socialising or more of the afternoon unwind.
  


• Saturdays: Driving Lessons. Which brings me to this - I have my test tomorrow. Will see if I earn my full car Licence or not come tomorrow evening! :X

That sound really busy. Good luck for your driving test tomorrow. *hugs

Awe, and an original story, too... We should really switch to writing original stories now. Rae, SN and you seem to have begun to write or have written some original already. Perhaps I should try out the next nanowrimo. XD

What she said.

...Wait, what? When did I write an original? o_O;

[rae00.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. That.

The Mary Sue/Gary Stu fic was one, wasn't it?

(Btw, there is a problem with the outfit of your princess. Is she supposed to be in an armour when she meets the dragon?)

[rae00.livejournal.com]

Oh...I guess. Doesn't strike me as a real story because it's so short. Actually, I'd totally forgotten about it 'till just not.

(Er? I have no idea. How's it a problem?)

From your fic it is not clear whether the prince knows that she is a girl or not. But the weather is really hot. So I doubt that they are running about the place in armours, you know. (How was she supposed to get into that heavy armour without anybody helping her, anyway?)

[rae00.livejournal.com]

I have no idea either. And knights ran around in armor in ridiculous weather all the time; you do what you gotta do. (Er, point. Maybe she made the guy she took it from help. Maybe she enlisted/coerced a maid. Does it matter?)

[fs-playground.livejournal.com]

According to your story, it was extremely hot. They were climbing a hill, too. And I don't know whether your prince and princess would be dumb enough to run around in an armour (an armour weights about 80 pound) to fight a dragon. I thought that, if the prince didn't know about the princess' identity, she would be in an armour (to hide her curves) and he would laugh about it, causing him to hate her more.

*shrugs* If you'd like to rewrite it or extend it, be my guest.

Thanks. :)

Good luck for your driving test today, you can do it!

And I'm glad to hear that you found another job, though on the other hand your school job doesn't exactly sound like good news. Good luck for that one as well, I hope it'll all work out in the end. :-/

Thanks! Alas it shall have to be on the 2nd go, but hey, it was a close one. ;)

*sigh* Yeah, thanks. ^^;
