I have done some productive things during my house sitting exile-from-society.

I worked on a cover letter (I can't finish it until I have a chance to go to the museum in question)
I finished my Serpent socks
I started a new knitting project (Art deco shawl!)
I finished one story and have been working on another longer piece 'm co-writing with [personal profile] naryrising.

But really I've mostly been sitting on my ass on the couch doing crap all. I have several more days here, and I should really do more with them.

There are some other jobs I can work on applications for
I can do more writing, on that story, on trope bingo, and on drabbles
I can do more knitting

I could do some more clickwork too, maybe, if I were inclined... enh.

Anyway. I have been being super lazy and while some of that is fair I am also annoyed at hoe much I'm not doing, so this is a kick in my own butt to do more.

Did it work?

Also, what is clickwork?

And just curious, you mentioned doing some volunteer work at a museum at the moment - how's that going?

It sorta did! I did more knitting, then some wrangling and tag staff stuff, anyway, but nothing else on the list.

Clockwork is a website where you can take micro jobs for tiny amounts of cash - like writing descriptions for websites or taking surveys or what have you. You don't get paid reasonably for your time unless you are very efficient at the things, but it can be a source of income.

The volunteering has been going okay, but since I'm out of town house sitting I'm not doing it until later next week. I am prepping an application for a job at a local museum that came open recently too, but I want to visit the place before I finalize my letter and I can't do that until I'm home again either, which will be on Monday, I think.

What really sucks is that after I set up the house sitting gig, my dad told us he was planning on visiting London, and now I'm barely going to overlap with him :|

Oh man, that's really annoying. I'm sorry.

Yeah - and I misunderstood the timing on some things and now I am gonna miss him completely :/ Ahh well - the trade off is more time with Curtana... Hopefully I can get down to see my dad another time soon :)

-_- That time I was logged in properly, but since I replied from email it didn't matter >_<

I can manage my own journal identities, honest :p
