Week in Review

1. To Do lists, when I have something to do, are my best friends ... after all my books, of course!
2. Mr. C - now that was all sorts of inappropriate!  If you hadn't just been released from the hospital, I'd give you a piece of my mind.  Clients must be reminded that they are clients. I liked medical social work, no one got overly friendly or casual. It was always clear who was who.
3. Work is a mess.  People not doing paperwork, forging paperwork, etc. Ethical nightmare. I think I have found yet another reason for why they have lost more than 6 social workers in the past 7 months.
4. Work gave me a migraine today. *Clings to the excedrin bottle for dear sanity*
5. Michaels & JoAnn's - you make me nauseous. Stimuli overload.
6. I like being a Traditional Roman Catholic aka Scrooge; thank you very much!
7. I feel like upchucking my excedrin
8. Diggin Up Bones
9. Thinking I might give Prof C a piece of my mind, and we all know how that will go!  Making me think of Joseph again.  Everything had been nice and neatly tucked away.  Joseph's one of those people you only think about every once in a while, at certain moments.  Then you want to let them invade your inner world like Dom let Mal into his.  Joseph's like that, and things don't seem that strange anymore.  But I wish he was here.  I still think he got lucky though; he got off.  He's got it good.
10. To heck with the concert, gonna go do a nice quiet dinner with my friends. Stay indoors, sans parents.
11. Want to quilt again.

1. An obligatory comment on the condom snafu in the news media:  His Holiness did not make it ex cathedra.  Secondly, it's an attempt to imbue some charity into immoral sexual acts: protection of an infected HIV/AIDS person's sexual partner of choice.  This is not a move towards permitting contraceptives at all; look at the intention: protection from further harm, not avoidance of creating life!
2. Dicit Dominus: Ego cogito cogitationes pacis, et non afflicitonis: invocabitis me, et  ego exaudiam vos: et reducam captivatem vestram de cunctis locis.
3. It's not Christmas yet, so why the music?  Don't you knuckleheads at the mall understand that Christmas starts on December 25th and extends through the octave until January 6th?  Since I'll be losing my sanity at the mall with each carol that the speakers pipe in, and I use the music on this blog as typing music, it's changed for the Advent season.  
4. Speaking of Advent: it's the mini-Lent of the Traditional Catholic.  I'm trying to think of what to fast from; might switch to Gregorian chant for the entirety of the 4 weeks.  I've a few days to figure this one.
5. Mrs L, I appreciate what you're trying to say, but I already know a lot of this.  I've been in discernment for 5 years, been accepted to a community and have had to turn it down.  I'm at where I am for a reason; I don't need to know that reason.  Yes, I've read smidgens of the Little Flower, but when God puts you on hold, you learn these lessons anyway.  Being put on hold isn't that bad: you know you'll get service eventually, and in the meantime you're doing small tasks that needed to get done.  I'll get through eventually.  Heck, it's nowhere near the difficulty of the Dark Night!
6. Lastly, happy Solemnity of Christ the King.

A little update

I'm busy studying to get my CAADAC certification, which will hopefully open up some employment opportunities for me.  Apparently it's unusual to have a MSW with CAADAC licensing.  Already I'm seeing some potential positions open up.  I'm hoping that the internships will be good; might take a class just for the heck of it.

I'm poking holes into my fingers, sewing the bodice and remaining details of my Renaissance Faire outfit which doubles as my Halloween costume. I will likely have to replace the bodice as I forgot to cut tabs.  Lesson learned, I also know how to get cheap 'boning' at $0.59  This time next week I should be able to post photos.

Between all this I'm looking for employment; still nothing in this department to report.  I figure that I have a 93% failure rate; seeing as how there are 6 rejection letters sitting on my desk and a rejection email, with what could easily be more than 100 jobs applied to in the past month.  100 applications and 7 interviews.  That's not too bad.

NaNoWriMo starts in 6 days; I'm fairly anxious to start.  I decided on my plot - and I've completely reworked the KH details and now have a working title.  Hopefully this will really turn into a manuscript.

That's about all in my little corner of the world
