It begins!

For some reason, if I get any mail at all, I get a lot of it at once. I think the post office are saving it all up, and only delivering it every second day... odd house numbers one day, even numbers the next...

* Letter 1: Honours information. I got in! Whoo! I know, I'll rue the day I ever applied, in about six months' time, but I have two possible directions for a project, both of which sound interesting. Both involve diamonds, or diamond-bearing source rocks... my quest to gain a degree in Shiny Things progresses nicely...

* Letter 2: Writing folio comes back, with cryptic comments. Not much on the five articles, except for things crossed out (I cringed to see how often I use the word "however" in the piece written in the greatest hurry). The Opinion/Editorial article I wrote on the shift in focus from MUSA (sports association) had a few words down the bottom - a suggestion that I should try to get it published. Very flattering, but I'm not so sure (even for Farrago) - a lot of that was written very candidly, with information not openly available.

* Huge stack'o'bills. Well, something had to spoil it, I guess.

I spent today at home, instead of at work. There's not much that needs doing at work, so I don't really mind using up some of my holidays early - instead, I sat inside and and painted, working my "other job." I've put a lot of hours into the current commission job, since yesterday - it's coming along well.

Mainly excited about the Honours letter, though... now I can finally make a plan or two for next year.

isn't this it job that you are paid for one day a week? why would go in if you didn't have to?

btw what are painting up?

I'm "employed" 5 days per week, and supposed to be in each day because of this. Until my revised contract (dated back to November 10th) goes through the pay office, I'm paid for one day each week - but this ought to change soon.

Painting Kane's Arcanacon stuff - 1 x Command Vanquisher, 2 x Vanquisher squadrons (tank ace + two squadmates), 1 x Destroyer. Don't think I've ever seen so much armour in one place, and it's all on my desk...

I have and it wasn't even scummy Armoured Company (that is what it is right?) - though the tanks were not nearly as heavy.

Yay! Woooo! Go you!

And by the way, Honours - while rewarding - sucks ass. Fortunately you can call me if you have any gripes about it (and you will). Congratulations!

I've already lived with one honours student (yes, virtual_munkee, ah'm lookin' at you...) and known a few others - I'm not expecting it to be a walk in the park... but thanks - I may be giving you a call at some stage ;)

Shiny things! They can give me shiny things!

Yay for shiny things! You're going to go mad, but once you're at that level, you won't notice, so try to get there as quickly as possible.

Words to live by :)

I'll do my best to discard any remaining sanity as fast as I can. The longer I keep it around, the more it will hurt when I lost my mind...
