Progress Report: Week 19

I have been feeling quite drained lately between a lot of activity at work and the cold weather.  I was trying more consciously this week to work on some of those goals that have not gotten a lot of attention, while keeping up with what I have been making steady progress on.  I definitely was planning to make more progress on certain things, but I ended up having to spend time shoveling show and helping a family member with something.  Plus when you get to the weekend, despite all my big plans I always end up wanting to just sleep or brainlessly relax.  Although I know there is merit in doing that and giving your brain (and body) as rest, it is precisely this time that I was to repurpose towards things that I want to achieve.  Let's see how I did, this week.

1.  Get a new job and move.  **TINY PROGRESS**
I've found another job I want to apply to.  I'm still struggling to pin down a precise job type that I want; I'm keeping a somewhat open mind and am hoping to find something that excites me.  I also talked to my boss and she agreed to pay for some online PR/marketing classes for me as part of my professional development!

STEP 1 do application
STEP 2  keep job searching
STEP 3  follow up with PR program to sign up for courses

2.  Make my own postcards. **TINY PROGRESS**
I spent some time investigating what software I might want to use to accomplish this.  I have some ideas now and am going to do some trials to see if I'm able to accomplish what I want.

Golden Globes 2015, Yawnsville Fashion

I found this year's Golden Globe awards to be much more boring than ever before.  The show ran long which means we likely lost a lot of funny material from the hosts.  There were some great feminist moments, but otherwise things were pretty dull.

Most dull of all was the fashion!  Usually one can rely on that to at least keep things interesting.  In my opinion, everyone wore things that were appropriate for the occasion but nearly none of them were fun, interesting, stunning, edgy, creative, or daring.

Best Dressed

Sienna was hands down the best-dressed of the evening.  She may have even been the only person whose dress I looked at twice.  Her presentation was late into the show, but I'm glad someone finally brought the fashion!

Progress Report: Week 18

I feel like I actively tried to work on this stuff a little more than last week, but that might just be my imagination.  I started to not feel so great over the weekend.  I think work has been tiring me out at lot, plus PMS, plus the winter.  I hoping I feel better this week and can get back to work.

1.  Get a new job and move.  No progress.
Haven't done any more applications this week.  Haven't really found any more jobs that I'm interested.  I'm torn between want to work in a job related to the environment and in media production.  I think I'm subconsciously holding out for something that marries the two but I don't think that's the best approach if my goal is just to get out without taking a step backwards.
I also want to talk to my boss about getting some professional development so I can develop some more PR and marketing skills.

Progress Report: Week 17

I'm still not getting a on top of some of this stuff as I should.  Laziness is getting me.  I thought I did better than I have.

1.  Get a new job and move.  No progress.
