still doing it late, updated radio page, better this week though . . . and overall . . . no assurance of job lasting, or remaining the OK thing it is now, but last night KD and I walked around the MFA Boston, visiting pictures old and new, and even got a year's membership, and it was fine a night then and walking around as one could ever wish for . . . so OK, I'm working on getting it all right, but at least some is already :)

better week, sat down last sunday and mapped a real job hunt plan, and been enacting it since, and that combined with writing and press work, keeping radio going, including fund raising, it adds up to a much better week than in awhile . . . just a start, very much just a start, but tis . . . more soon . . .updated radio page too, although late, trying to learn to keep grooving high and low . . .

working on next Cenacle even more so this week, going for having a long prep time for this issue, and then roll into the December issue with some momentum . . . updated radio page as well, back on air after a week off .
job hunt sometimes getting the better of me of late, but I am struggling to get and roll along more solid ground, it's really a process, not a land . . . thinking: not do enough, do more . . .write more, more press, more job hunting . . . mani-fucking-fest at least . . .

updated radio page, on time for the first time in awhile . . . working on next Cenacle steadily, writing the press's history 2009 chapter, slowly figuring out how to write this history better . . . optimistic on finishing the issue by later October as wished . . .
job hunt, i tossed deeper into it this week, keep expanding the active playing field, keep doing this, over and over, day by day, and some headway, but until i am hired full-time for a good paying good work job i won't feel the efforts are paid off . . . no, it's a matter of keeping trying and keeping trying, keeping trying, smile, wide, keeping trying . . .

This weekend is an Encore Weekend, which is good, updated the radio page anyway, just to get it done . . . the recent monthly schedule of three new radio weekends and one Encore Weekend works well, in terms of time and energy to do this work reasonably well . . . the radio page was revised last week to now bear a player that indicates the show being played, long on my wish list . . . I credit KD for making it happen . . .
And deeper into the work on Cenacle 79, mostly on the 2009 chapter of Scriptor Press's history . . . I've been trying to work it deeper, make it more worth reading, and now think I have a groove that goes well . . .
finally, job hunt is complete, going to work in a week or so at a healthcare company again . . . doing the technical writer thing . . . in all, I was in the running for jobs at four different companies, and I think this one will work best, with the chance of full-time hire . . . going in with optimism that I can make it good and long-lasting, get out of contracting entirely soon . . .

I don't know if the cracks are starting to give way, but if I was a fat cat I'd not be looking to guns to protect me at this point . . . we got the numbers . . .
