My life. Mostly awesome;)

[beelikej]

I've been so occupied with my artwork for the Cinema Challenge that I completely forgot to update my journal with events in real life! Lots of turmoil in the past few weeks. As you may recall I've been looking for a new job, ever since the bossman tried to cut my hours last year (I succesfully objected to this at the national employment agency and they decided he was indeed not allowed to do this) I'm still working full time, but the atmosphere is not that great and after being with this company since 1996, this is hard to deal with. Anyway, moving on to two weeks ago when my old counselor (who's guiding our current intern) told me about an opportunity at my old school. I called and was invited for an interview which resulted in a part-time job as an instructor, starting tomorrow! *deep breath* I'll let you know if I survive the group of teenagers later this week... If anything it's a chance to find out if teaching suits me (place your bets now;)

That's the good news. Now for the not so fantastic part of this update: I've seriously injured my shoulder. I'd blame it on the intense paper cutting, but I'm pretty sure it's a combination of stress and additional manual labour at work. I tried to let the arm rest this weekend, and kept a strict pain-killers schedule, but I fear it will keep bothering me for a little while longer. Unfortunately being aware of the stress factor doesn't mean the physical issue is cured right away. I may look into getting some muscle relaxants at the pharmacy tomorrow. *fingers crossed* Besides the new job, I will still be going to my regular work in the afternoons, because my co-worker has next week off. I already know I have more physical chores to do so at least the beginning of this week will be a little crazy. I have dinner planned at mom's on Monday so I'll be treated to food and pampering for a couple of hours;)

I also have Thursday to look forward to, because I'M GOING TO LONDON with tanisafan! We got tickets for the WB/Harry Potter Studios Tour and for a performance of The Rocky Horror Picture show. We've also planned to check out several musea and will be traveling to Oxford for some nerding, woohoo!

After all that I'll have time to continue my squee over the awesome summaries I managed to claim for this year's spn_j2_bigbang. As per fandom etiquette I won't reveal my authors just yet, but I'm thrilled that both of them have already contacted me! I can't wait to read the full stories: I've uploaded them on my e-reader and will start brainstorming on the bus tomorrow! (Provided those students haven't sucked my brain, eeep)

There was more, but I'm gonna give my shoulder a break now. I'm going to step away from the internet to catch up on CSI with a double feature of the two latests episodes on my big screen up in the attic.

Remind me I still have to share some glorious goodies I found on Tumblr with y'all. When I get back from London, I'll finally do that nostalgia-meme two people tagged me in and I need to catch up on all the great art and fic in the spn_cinema. Why is there not more time, I want to do ALL THE THINGS.
