Today was a day of procrastinating and wine. I've discovered that job hunting on the internet is harder than it sounds. To begin with, I have an automatic reflex when opening my browser to head straight to the "Facebook" favourite. This is probably the biggest waste of time that I currently enjoy. I don't really do much on Facebook, but I seem to spend hours there without much effort.
Secondly - most of my friends are employed at mindless organisations where they spend their days sitting in front of a computer, which gives me people to email about nothing for hours on end.
There's always something going on, on Twitter.
There's always something to play on iTunes.
There's always something stupid to laugh at on YouTube.
All in all, job hunting just becomes a series of websites to stare at all day, that have nothing to do with job hunting.
I did manage to update my CV, which didn't really take much effort considering that I've only worked for three months in the last year. I attempted to write a cover letter that included a pleading paragraph on why my being at the other end of the island should not deter potential employers from hiring me. And then happy hour rolled around...
Suffice to say, not an awful lot got done once the wine glass had been filled. This is unfortunate for my job hunting and my current attempt to return to my pre-wed jean size. At the moment I'm allowed 40 food points per day, and wine is six points per glass. I have consumed three glasses of wine tonight... Crap.
Tomorrow is the dreaded "weigh in" where the scales scream at me to get the hell off them before I do them permanent damage. Last week I managed to make the number go down, which has lead to me believe that this week I can drink twice as much wine...
Oh well...
Cheers!!!
