No...I'm not bitching about my breakup. I just have the song stuck in my head. It's been there for at least a week now. I even dropped the three dollars for both the mp3 download and the video on iTunes. I can't help it. It's a sexy video and a catchy song. I find it incredibly impressive that those women can move like that. I look like a dufus any time I try to dance, and no, there will be no video posting of that.
The news of the week is that I finally got called by the debt consolidation people. I've been enrolled and start my payments on the 25th. I'm just wainting for the paperwork to arrive via priority mail. So...in 5 years I will be debt free. That's a great feeling. It's looking like the plan will save me 110 dollars a month, but we'll have to see for sure when all is said and done.
I also got my designs done for one of my clients. That's been sent off and now I'm just waiting to hear back on the choice. Then I can get started on the flash parts of it. I'm actually kind of excited about it because it involves more learning. I truly enjoy it.
Speaking of the web, after spending more time with my budget, I decided to start working on software for budget and money tracking online. I don't want to pay for Quicken anymore. Mint seems to have its downfalls, and I know from the past that when I design something, I really learn a lot. I will learn how to budget better than any book.
I think I'm going to put together a database schema for translife too. I think I might as well create my own social network site. This will be fun / a lot of work. Speaking of a lot of work, I haven't decided whether I should move my list of chapters for my book onto this blog, google docs, or just keep it on the pad I have it on. I might get tempted to work on it at work. I probably shouldn't do that.
Oh, and I was informed of a few jobs that I am planning on applying for. That's Tuesday night's goal. I'm going to attempt to keep myself busy every night until the weekend so I can relax then. Who knows though. Maybe I'll spend the weekend working on a new demo reel. We'll see.
I'll post more about my recently developed workaholism soon. Happy January.
