I'd forgotten how hard it is to work on this whole subject -- like swimming through molasses. But! I dug out my employment history (hah!) and the most recent resume I've got, and will take them in Friday to consult with TOW on them. I did some calling and found a job center in Vancouver where I can go to look for work in a not-in-the-home place to keep motivated.
I'm going to run through the nurseries first, even though it's the crappiest time of year to be looking for something like that. Having no Vancouver phone book, I can either use the internet or wait till I'm at TOH to compile a list. Procrastination is so easy. I'll open another window now and see what yellowpages.ca turns up.
Okay. It gives me lots of fodder, I think -- I'll need to weed out the numerous Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, etc entries. So that's there, a resource I've got from home -- I'll go through, check for internet info on each one, and then it goes in The Book. That will be for either Monday or Tuesday.
This weekend, my goals are: get a nursery-resume done up. Find home-rental resources (any help on this?). Make 'a significant number' of calls and possibly get in some viewings before heading home. Get a bus pass. I may stay in-town at Mom's this week (or a night or two at Esty's, should talk to her when things begin shaping up more) if the rental thing gathers momentum.
I -will- use livejournal as a record-keeping forum, and I will post whether I meet my goals or not up here. Iet's see if keeping this public can keep me motivated. Anyone got any positive motivators lying around? Not the, if I don't do this I'm a lazy loser who sucks kind, but the, if I do this then this and that are good kind? Please?
Greenstorm, off to rental sites.
