So, I started work at the Market Research Place this last Saturday. For five hours I sat on a phone, calling villages in Western Alaska and doing surveys on global warming. Pretty easy work, and now I can honestly say that I am gainfully employed, if only part-time. At the very least, I can put this job down on my resume.
It looks like it's going to be getting busy down the road too. There are a couple of other surveys coming up, one involving charitable donations and the other involving aquaculture. They'll both be statewide and, yeah, I can pretty much gaurantee we'll have to explain what aquaculture is to a lot of people.
In other news, closer to home, I may have someone interested in the condo. I had some folks come by and take a look at the place last week and they came back yesterday. So, fingers crossed that they make an offer.
Other than that, not much else is going on. I think I'm going to scrap the long mystery novel and focus more on short stories. Honestly, I think I'm better at them and, going back and rereading what I've written so far, I seem to be devoting a ridiculous amount of time to describing the scenes. It would be one thing if they were relevant to the crime, but they're not.
Ah well, live and learn. Right?
Oh! And before I forget, the snow has finally arrived.
Still alive and keeping warm. - G.
