Zealous Chang

Things I did today instead of staying on task:
Saw my housemate’s band play their first gig. They didn’t play their #1 hit “Sex Dat Poosay” but they were good nonetheless. Scrappy, but good. Unfortunately the MC for the open night mic ragged on them for “not having any words in their songs” but he gave out bulk candy canes and I won a lollipop filled with more lollipops for knowing 5 songs by Crowded House (I’ll be adding that to the old resume). My other housemate (who is the first housemate’s girlfriend) and I attempted to rig the votes so they’d win, but I just got a text with the alarming news it didn’t work. Oh well. Next time.

Had a late breakfast at Elixir. If you’re friends with me you’ll know my utter obsession with this cafe. I got taken there for the first time in about July by some friends and since then I worry to think how much money I’ve actually spent on coffee/BLTs. I’d say on a good week I get at least 5 coffees and maybe two meals there. On a bad week it’d be much more than that. The BLT is insane. All the nice people who work there know my name and order. They’re shutting down for 2 weeks over Christmas/New Year and I’m actually unsure of how I’m going to cope.

Said goodbye to my 2 best buds. After a week that’s gone far too quickly they were off back to the Gold Coast today. I really like having them around because even though they rag on me without relent, it’s nice being around people who allow my constant quoting. I’m sad to see them go, but happy because they’ve got a sick new house to move into and Loz will have missed Pablo (her pug) like all hell.

Things I did today managing to stay on task:
Added my lecturer to my resume. Well done Sophie, a whole sentence!
Went on SEEK. Well it was last night actually, but it still counts. There’s a business journalist position that’s advertised and even though I know absolutely nothing about business they want someone with tertiary education in EITHER business or journalism. I can nail one of those criteria, and quite frankly how hard can a whole facet of life that I have no experience or interest in really be to learn about right?
