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 ;)

and dude those icons are awesome.

Date: 2004-10-20 05:35 am (UTC)Thanks dear, and glad to hear James is having a good time getting interviews. Things over her are not that good about those things. I haven't even got a call yet from anyone.
no subject
Date: 2004-10-20 05:44 am (UTC)He's getting a load of interviews, where we live is on an upswing for call centers which is where he's had experience. Which is why I don't get this insurance cold calling job.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you too.

James has been offered a job which isn't as good as it sounds. It's selling insurance but commission only and cold calling.
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

Date: 2004-10-20 07:20 am (UTC)I've missed being online so much. I can usually cope with RL as long as I get time online to destress but lately it seems that's impossible. I know I've missed so much.
How are you doing? Apart from still being a Lost junkie of course ;)
no subject
Date: 2004-10-20 07:21 am (UTC)Form a line ;)
Well, seeing as it's you.
Enjoy him ;)

Date: 2004-10-20 07:23 am (UTC)I share your feeling, insurance isn't it, now all I have to do is convince James.

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*

Date: 2004-10-20 07:28 am (UTC)I'm glad you like him :)

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.

Date: 2004-10-20 10:02 am (UTC)I can't remember if you ever said or if I missed it, but what exactly is the problem? Why do you have to be in the hospital next February? I hope everything goes well *crosses fingers*.
The icons are very lovely, too bad the Chris and Lance ones are already gone.
no subject
Date: 2004-10-20 10:13 am (UTC)Also, yes. You are being sensible, and James is panicking, but it's natural, I'm really impressed with the way you guys are dealing with it. When I had to leave work I stayed at home and was useless and penniless. Of course there wasn't three people relying on me, but I was so not motivated to look for another job. And you guys and have been filling out applications, it's all good.

Date: 2004-10-20 10:34 am (UTC)I have to go to hospital because of my leg. I got a skin infection a few months ago and have been going to get it dressed twice weekly since then and have been on three lots of antibiotics to kill it off. The hospital is to see why it's happening.
Thank you. Do you like this one? No need to take it if you don't I won't be offended at all.
no subject
Date: 2004-10-20 10:56 am (UTC)Oh, this sucks! I knew you had trouble with your leg, but I didn't know it was a skin infection. I hope it's going to get better, because this must be bad. *hugs*
And this icon is absolutely wonderful! *squee* I love it! Thanks so much :-D. *hugs*

Date: 2004-10-20 11:20 am (UTC)there's so very much I want to say right now and I just can't get my mind wrapped around all the words I want to say. *grumbles* I swear the medications are affecting my brain.
I do know that I love and adore you and I should send you all my past due bunnies and stories, since you have no challenges. lol.
no subject
Date: 2004-10-20 11:37 am (UTC)No need to say anything, you've said it all. You my lady are the sweetest and most wonderful person ever. Are you okay, honey? I miss you on here.
But I really don't need any bunnies, though I do owe someone a birthday story ;) Maybe I could fit that in before SeSa.
