See you tomorrow.

Friday, September 29, 2017

Sept 29, 2017 (Fri)

Drinking - yeah.  Why not.

Paid work - actually quite a bit, good for a last day.

Drinking - yes.

See you tomorrow.

Tuesday, September 26, 2017

Sept 26, 2017 (Tues)

Drinking - yes.  Remember those optimistic days?  Seems quaint now.

Paid work - some.  Not terrible.  Better than yesterday.  Still not good.

Creative work - more painting, and more work on the Project.  So, that's good, right?  Decent epitaph?

See you tomorrow, unless luck turns my way.  Spoiler alert:  it won't.

Monday, September 25, 2017

Sept 25, 2017 (Mon)

Drinking - yes.  Why not, at this stage.

Paid work - a couple of hours and a lot of sympathy.

Creative work - did some more painting, and assembled more of The Project.  Looked at what I did for the second, and thought it needed improvement, but didn't.  Nice to be painting, but I need to not neglect other stuff.  Oh!  and went through several Lynda courses in Maya, not very helpful.

See you tomorrow.

Sept 24, 2017 (Sun)

Tuesday, September 19, 2017

Sept 19, 2017 (Tues)

Drinking - yes, damn it all.  Maybe I need it.

Paid work - almost nothing.  Better than nothing, but not much.  Applied for a couple of new positions.

See you tomorrow.

Thursday, September 14, 2017

Sept 14, 2017 (Thurs)

Drinking - no.  I was very tempted but managed to combat it.

Paid work - a decent chunk.  Nothing great but not bad.

Sept 11, 2017 (Mon)

See you later today.
