Government Testing. <*mopes*>

Today:

Wrote the Government Office Skills Test.

Ye gods...

Okay, based on the practice exam, I was expecting to do fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

HA!

It wasn't until about 20 minutes (or more) *after* I wrote (and did not successfully complete - ten of those questions were guesses to the point that I was not actually *looking* at the options, just darkening up the empty circles *completely* at random) the Real Test that - oh, wait... While, yes, they do give you less time on the practice test, they also give you fewer questions.

Essentially I discovered that - oh, yeah! - being able to complete 10 questions in three minutes doesn't actually translate into being able to complete 15 questions in four minutes.
Hmph.

So. That sucked.

As in: I was seriously miserable for quite a while after the test was done.

:-P


Anyway.
So that's my miserable news for the day.



On the plus side:

I've got Paul's Aikido bag *mostly* done. I need to add the draw-string track (and the string, obviously), and I need to make and add the strap. I wanted to use scraps for the strap, but it occurs to me that this *is* a load-bearing strap and so should be fairly sturdy.
Denim does tend to fray.
As such, I will be cutting a new (wide) strip and making the strap out of that. (That way, I can pad the shoulder section, too. :-)

Also: I the dishwasher is running.

Lastly: I have figs. (Fresh ones). :-) So that is good. :-)


Still to do:
Come up with dinner.
Call Rogers re: New Billing Arrangements.
Do laundry.

But I think I'm going to try some writing right now. :-)

P.S.: Just started reading Widdershins by Charles de Lint. We shall see how it goes. :-)
