camrogersToday's going to be low wordcount. Busted washing machine equals doing a load by hand, the owner of the house showed up with new architraves, and I'm going to be camping out either in the front room or on the floor until the builder is good and goddamn ready to do his job. Which could be months. So today's a structural edit, on paper, and tonight I'm out. In fact the next five days are pretty much spoken for with ACMI stuff, nights away, helping Rose move from down the coast and a bunch of other things. Hoping I'll find time to get something done on the Eee.
But Epicure likes the photos. Now they just need to work out when they can run the article.
Next year's shaping up, and the fifty-percent of my plans I expected to have to postpone or abandon are making themselves known. The odds of getting overseas again are diminishing, unless something happens. In the meantime I can hammer the material I have, pay off as much of the debt as I can and get some career momentum happening. At this rate I won't have any choice but to apply to the Antarctica station unskilled, if that's possible, or - if I'm lucky - a certain job here will increase my chances of getting the ambulance position in 2012.
Spending two weeks up north so that'll give me a change to go nuts on an article, photos and polishing the book. Right now it looks like signal-to-noise is the big issue, which equates to throwing out a lot of text, which I dig, so that's fine.

It could be a good place to start NGO networking and maybe find a way to wriggle into a position at your preferred location that doesn't require as much training.
