I’m not holding out much hope of this actually working, but I thought I’d give it a try.

I’ve hardly used the keyboard I bought for my PDA, and I’ve been trying to set up email blogging with my blog, so I thought what better way to try it out than to combine the two. Famous last words, I know.

It’s a long weekend here this weekend, because we have the Adelaide Cup on Monday. I am totally not into horse racing - I think it’s cruel and unnecessary - but I will accept the extra day off :D

Tomorrow I’m picking up the clothes I had altered, and I am thoroughly looking forward to throwing away the ratty pants I’ve been wearing for the last goodness knows how long. As I’ve mentioned several times before, I hate clothes shopping, but I really love having new clothes. I feel so much better about myself when I’m wearing something new and smart. Or maybe it’s more a case of not feeling as frumpy as I do when I’m wearing something that should really be thrown out.

I wouldn’t mind trying to find a new job, but I really don’t know what I’d be able to get that isn’t related to what I’m doing now. I just seem to be so up and down in my current job. There are days I’m really enthusiastic, but others I feel so incompetent and wonder why I bother turning up every day. The problem is that it’s just so hard to start fresh in a new field because, more often than not, employers won’t hire people who don’t have qualifications. In some fields this is expected, but there have been jobs that have come up that I know I would be able to do really well, but I don’t have the specific qualifications or experience they’re after. Unfortunately, faith in yourself doesn’t mean anything if it’s not accompanied by the right piece of paper.
