"I am an Illusion" by Rob Thomas

Today is the start of another week which I'd like to start assertively. Here are my goals for today.

1. Contact the Capital Group and ask if they've "filled the position" or "inquire" about the "status" of the job "to which I've applied." If I manage to include the phrase "in regards" I will give myself an additional 5 Stupid Office Lingo points. The question boils down to: "Are you giving me a job or not?"

2. Email resume to friend for a position at KPMG, which is adjacent to the Capital Group building downtown. Primary objective in getting a job is financial, certainly, but geographical is a close second. It's time to move back to the city and be my own man.

3. Email same resume to TekSystems representative.

Here are some peripheral goals:

4. To NOT exercise. My body is exhausted.

5. To super revise another chapter. To further debate the folkloric opening to one of the chapters. Interesting device but sketchy execution and it probably doesn't serve the greater good of the story. The secret to telling a good story is the same for telling a good joke: setup has to be proportionate to punchline and the entire thing must be taut.

6. Resend one of the chapters to WorldHum, this time addressed properly.

7. Wash my whites.

Last night I slept listening to Dido's "Life for Rent" and staring at a photo of sunset at a certain place. The things that we keep to ourselves. These experiences we don't share, these little tricks up our sleeves.
