Today was a stellar day. By stellar, I mean crappy.
My throat is becoming scratchier as this week progresses, and today I wanted to rip it out for at least part of the day. Later, I had tentative plans to go for a drink after work, but that was, sadly, cancelled by the other party with no suggestion to reschedule. Sigh. That was promptly followed up with two rejection letters from my department, telling me I don't need the money I asked for.
So now I will have plenty of time to work extra to be able to afford school. Yea. Except that I may have less work because my supervisor just got a promotion and the person replacing him may take away some of my current hours. This summer is pretty up in the air right now.
On the upside, this morning I met with the head librarian at the CBC about setting up a work experience starting this summer. There are a couple of pretty interesting potential projects and could tap into my obsession with organising unusual collections. Now I just have to figure out exactly what my proposal should propose and get on it. I am hopeful it will work out.
At the same time, I'm getting sick of putting so much effort into things that rarely work out and sometimes think about quitting my job and school, selling anything worth anything, and disappearing to Mongolia to work as a shepherd. Lately I'm so bad at organising with people that it could be months before anyone knew what was happening; it's not that unusual not to see people for months at a time. But you know I'm a chicken shit and my sense of duty prevents me from doing anything irresponsible.
Still, I would like to be a shepherd in Mongolia...
