Have badgered the temp agencies. And made a file with all of them in it, so I don't have to try and remember everyone I'm registered with, every time I try to get in touch with them.
Don't yet know how to do this with g-mail, but at least I can just cut-and-paste the addies from one "to" window to the other, if I have to. ;-)
Have also gotten in touch with my Investments Dude about taken some of my money out of the Money Market funds and just having it in my bank account.
I've got a one-night job taking notes ($15/hour - only 4-5 hours, though) for a focus-group on Elgin street (next Tuesday).
Not great in terms of duration, but it would net me about $50, minimum, which would be a little bit of a help, at least. :-) And, because it's an evening job, I'd actually be able to work tht *day*, too. (So here's hoping someone finds me an actual months-long contract for, say, next Monday. That'd be really, REALLY good!)
In other news: I found $10 in my purse. YAY! (I wasn't sure where it had gone). :-)
I choose to view these things as indications that my financial/employment situations are changing for the better (and will continue to do so).
I've also been invited to audition for some voice-work -- in a video game.
To tell you the truth, I'm a little bit terrified of this idea. (How foolish of me to have sent a note expressing interest in it, in the first place...) The auditions are on the 7th (so the day after tomorrow) -- in a location I can't get to. BUT they do accept mp3-recordings, so I could do it that way. <*dithers*>
Gawd. I must be crazy.
On the plus side, at least I have therapy (finally!) booked for 3pm this Thursday. So hurrah! Perhaps I will be less crazy by the end of the session. ;-)
Anyway. Seanchaidh is coming by tonight so that she has somewhere to sleep during The Strike, since she couldn't get a ride home from school today. I believe this will involve tea and possibly cookies. :-) (It'll be tea made in a sauce-pan, but it'll still be tea. ;-)
Sara's been at a photoshoot for most of the day. (No idea when it wrapped up, but I know she was in makeup from about 10am-2pm (body-painting), so - even if it's a really long shoot, she's probably finished by now).
She's house-sitting for the next week or so -- some new friends of hers, in New Jersey, are away for the week so she's staying at their place. (Thank you, new friends!) In theory I will get through the next five-to-seven days without a heart-attack. ;-)
Eugh.
Anyway. I should probably get that laundry done and so-on before too much longer.
Randomly: I found a post on how to make floggers out of rope (on the Kinky Arts and Crafts section of FetLife). Whee! :-D
Anyway. Moving right along. :-)
[EDIT: Seanchaidh says:
You can complain to the Canadian Industrial Relations Board about the strike.
Just thought I'd pass that along. :-)
