(no subject)

It's galling that, with a bit more than a week left to go until July 1st, I haven't heard anything definite one way or another about layoffs (other than "They're trying not to cut any jobs," which I've been hearing for months). I'm not even sure when I'll know - and how fast I'd be out of a job if that's how it turned out. As I've discovered, living in the same city as the major publishers does have its advantages - and I'm not finding too many jobs of interest elsewhere - so I'd really rather stay here and wait out the year till I become a senior librarian with something like a living wage. But if it's not to be, I'd like to know.

Determination

I am completely and utterly determined that this is the year I'll finish my Shizuoka translation packet, because it's just been too many times that I've tried and failed. Unfortunately I got hung up on a weird part and abandoned it for some months, always meaning to get back to it, and at that rate I'll never finish.
2800/6300; and that's just the rough draft of the fiction part.
