"It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do."
- Jerome K. Jerome

So. It's been a month now. How time flies when all hell breaks loose! The pandemonium began on the 29th of June, when my suddenly very irate landlord informed me that I had to be out of the apartment by noon the next day, not on the first as I had anticipated - and as we had previously discussed. Cue emphatic cussing and panicked packing, followed by two complete moves (with assistance provided by benevolent friends) and frenzied cleaning over the next 24 hours. Nevertheless, I survived the ordeal, got everything into my new home and promptly turned around and left for the next three days.
Upon my return, not only was I engaged in the requisite moving in and unpacking procedures, but also desperately searching for work in light of the fact that I had very few days remaining on my EI claim. I succeeded in getting hired as a Production Assistant on a TV show and as of the 7th have been working 14 or 15-hour days at various locations throughout the Lower Mainland. For those of you unfamiliar with the geography of southern British Columbia should be aware that this means a 45 to 90 minute commute in each direction; which really isn't all that much, but sure seems punishing when it adds up to an 18 hour day.
Weekends have been spent catching up on all the errands and chores I'd been nonchalantly taking care of during the week up during my luxuriously relaxing spate of unemployment - which I don't think I fully appreciated until maybe last Wednesday. 'Tis the way of the world, is it not?
The point of all this is that I've not had much of a chance to sit down and catch up on R&R lately, let alone spend a few hours crunching HTML. Of course, it could quite easily be argued that I've merely been using all of this chaos to be a lazy SOB in my spare time, but that's no fun, now is it? Know that I'm settling in to the new apartment quite comfortably, am feeling plucky and more vivacious than I have in months, and suspect I have finally climbed out of the rut I've been hiding in for such a long time now. I think a month of silence is a worthwhile trade for all this, don't you?
