Higher Aspirations

Millie's been a grumpy bugger today. I think it's because I didn't come straight downstairs after getting up this morning - she's one to hold a grudge, you see. She's been ignoring me all morning and kept barking whenever I left the room. Oh well, wasn't as bad as yesterday when the window cleaners turned up - I had to literally wrestle her to the ground at one point.

Looks like she might not be here for the whole week after all, though, there's been a death on James' side of the family. Its his Grandmother, so they've all come home from their holiday. I didn't know her more than a couple of meetings (she was about 100 and was at the age where she was doing things that if you ever end up doing, you'd want someone to shoot you) but i feel sorry for James' mum, must be bad for her that she wasn't there.

I've taken a new approach to Job Applications - writing to pretty much every shop I can think of in town and asking if they have any vacancies (and trying not to sound too desperate). I've decided I'd really like to work at HMV or somewhere - I love music, I love games, I love DVDs, it would be perfect. Oh please, please send me an application form.

I've also decided I'm going to have a go at writing and Self-Publishing a fictional diary, in the vain of Adrian Mole, Dracula etc. It came after reading old Diary entries on another site and thinking "This would make a good book". I have realistic expectations in that it probably wouldn't be a huge seller by any means and outside of my friends and family (and even that's a stretch!) maybe only a few people would buy it, so I'm gonna aim it locally. Unfortunately this presents a few problems - should I make it an adult book (which I'm inclined to), and if so how much swearing do I use - true to life or not enough to offend?

Aaaagh. It's not fun being so talented :(
