turpsHaving no challenges to do is weird, but at the same time so satisfying. I need to tweak the timbertrick a little and that's it until SeSa. I know I've said this before and been laughed at but I'm never taking on so many at once again. I don't know how I expect to do good stuff if I'm writing so fast.
I realised I haven't really updated rl wise for a while. Things are okay here. James has been offered a job which isn't as good as it sounds. It's selling insurance but commission only and cold calling. He wants to accept, I don't want him to which has led to lets just say a few heated discussions. The money is great but it has to be as I imagine the job will be very difficult. I mean what happens if he sells nothing? We'll have no money. Basically he's panicking ( I get a count down most days. 4 weeks until we have no money coming in ) but he's had a load of interviews yet wants to take the first one offered, plus he's not really cut out for cold calling and I say that and get told that I don't believe in him, but I do it's just I'm trying to see the wider picture. And now you'll see why I've avoided mentioning this here as I babble like an idiot.
We started the painting and discovered that the paint lied and didn't cover things with one coat, meaning the wallpaper needs stripping. Which is a job I hate, which explains why only one corner of the room is half done. My living room looks like a bomb hit just now, we threw away a wall unit which means I have nowhere for my CDs to stay or my bits and bobs so they're all on the floor. I can't bring myself to care though, as long as there's paths to move we'll be okay for a while.
I got an appointment for the hospital, the end of Feb next year. Which yeah, it's a good thing I'm not really ill. Of course if I'm still having to go to the doctors twice a week next year I may beat my head on the desk a few times.
LOL. No wonder I haven't updated rl wise, I've nothing to say. Oh but wait, yes I have. James came home yesterday and said he had a present. He made me open the bag with much ceremony and inside was an Nsync hits clip, which is a nifty thing indeed *g*
Behind the cut are some spare icons I was messing with when I made this one *points up* If anyone wants them shout, just don't expect much.
I can change the text or icon thing, within reason, I'm not that good yet ;)

I could discuss with him. Cold calling and commisson only? Even if James is good at it (which you claim he isn't), you'll still risk starvation.

I wish my family knew how much I'd appreicate that...I don't think they've understood the whole sdb thing. They are so clueless. *shakes head while pointing at sparkly paintings and Chris and *NSYNC on the fridge*
I'm not that good yet
*cough*bullshit*cough*

Exactly. He's done sales before and did okay, but on a totally sales based job you need to be more than okay.
My family doesn't get the sbd stuff either. James will buy me stuff but only because he knows it makes me happy. He still mocks *g*

Well, it's their loss. We can't really do much more than tell them the good stuff of joining The Sparkly Side; if they still don't get it, we've done all we could.
