The Book

I am incredibly disorganized, however I have always had serious intentions to be. At the beginning of every school year or semester I manage to buy a new day planner and used it for about 1 week, and then immediately misplaced it amongst of a million other more important booklets. However for some reason, since graduation I have started a day timer and it has been surprisingly successful. I am guessing this is because I do not have a full time job, and without meticulously planning out my weekly activities I would feel the cold grasp of the realities of unemployment. So now, I have fantastically organized documentation of my social activities for the past three months. Tonight at dinner time, lasagna created by my trustworthy chef sister, (which by the way was baked inside a piece of pottery constructed in her spare engineering time), we looked back into my past few months in my daytimer, and had good laugh at how hilarious the notes were.. for example, in February:

Sunday: Work at J's, 5-9:30pm
Monday: Find a new job
Tuesday: Work at J's 11am-1pm, & 5-9:30pm, Job fair at University
Wednesday: Find new job, Meet with Realtor to see new condo
Thursday: Lunch with Science Girl, Ski Conditioning class at 7.
Friday: Go condo hunting, work at J's 5-11:30pm
Saturday: Go to Glenbow museum, work at J's 5-11:00pm
Sunday: Coffee with 642, Find a new job
Monday: Lunch with Science Girl, Dinner with Taryn
Tuesday: Make dinner with Jamie, watch BH 90210.

Probably the best highlight are the combination of working at J's, seeking a new job, and meeting with a Realtor all in the same day. I wonder if he could see the unemployed desperation in my face as he showed me around the glorious place I surely could not afford at the moment. Or, the fact that I enrolled myself in a ski conditioning fitness class despite having no intentions of hitting the slopes all season long. Despite having no real purpose for a daytimer, I will continue to use it religiously so I can look back in more prosperous times and enjoy being employed 9-5.


PS to Science Girl; I am living in fear waiting for the collection agency to drag me away to video store jail.
