so today was going to be my day of productivity. i was going to wake up by 10 a.m., go deposit my first unemployment check, go to hastings and get a membership and rent house 2 and return of the living dead 3, go to the san marcos library and get a library card, send out a couple of resumes, go to the dps and request a replacement license for the one i lost, and go to happy minutes at showdown.
but that all changed with a phone call i got at 10:11 a.m. it was from a local austin magazine, and they needed a proofreader for the afternoon. so i said yes. and inadvertantly set my rate for my freelance proofing. so i was there from 12:30 to 2:30, and i'm supposed to be back tomorrow morning for more proofing.
i'm kinda excited about it. i get to send them an invoice for my time. now i just need to know how to make an invoice ...
so yeah, afterward, i drove back to san marcos and was able to make it for happy minutes at showdown with rebecca, and then we went for lunch at midnighter diner. and i'm supposed to meet up with her again later tonight for some drinks at lucy's on the square.
and on top of that, i got a phone call while we were eating for an interview friday at some ad agency in austin for a proofreader.
gah. and i was just getting used to unemployment ...
