are you gonna eat that stapler?

so i proofread again this morning for that same magazine. and i've been up since 7:30 a.m. so that i would make sure that i was up and ready to leave by 9:15 so i could get there by 10. i was there until noon. i will say this about my freelance giging so far: easiest money i've ever made. now i get to make and send them an invoice for my services (thanks melinda for the info on what to put in said invoice). then i headed back to san marcos to do what i had originally planned to do yesterday. so i deposited my unemployment check, went to the dps and requested a duplicate license (and i have the paper temp. license/permit to prove it), and i went to the san marcos public library to get a library card.

i did learn one thing about the san marcos public library: it has HORRIBLE selections! i mean, don't get me wrong, it's a nice library. and it has a lot of movies to choose from. but they all kinda sucked. and the books. well, i'll say this: it's one saving grace was that it had wigfield, but it's MISSING! i've been wanting to read/look at wigfield for so long. the library was nothing but a cocktease. and on that note, i will say this: there is one DAMN fine librarian that works there. i kept on walking by the information desk to inconspicuously look at him. sweet.

on top of that, i've been playing phone tag all day with this hr lady from from that ad agency in austin where i applied for a proofreader position. we finally got a hold of each other after i left the library and set up an interview time for tomorrow. but for a proofreader position, i have to meet with like three different people AND take a test. gah.

seriously, i was JUST getting used to unemployment ...

ok, so the only thing left to do that i didn't do yesterday is go to hastings, get a membership, and rent some bad movies. and that's where i shall go now. wish me luck.
