Oh, Monday

Monday heralds the beginning of the weekly pattern for me. For the permanently employed, this means sorting out what's outstanding over the weekend, planning the week and attending the weekly meeting. For me as a freelancer, this means going through my phone book, checking who I haven't nagged in a while, calling/emailing/sending stuff to them, checking/researching online, writing up a list of to-dos and any applications for interesting permanent roles, then having a cup of tea. Then doing all the above work in half a day. Then wondering what on earth I'm going to do over the rest of the week.

This week, however, I've made a new resolution. To be done after the weekly bout. With the shiny new CV, I'm going a bit left-field. I'm not going to say what, as I'm not at all sure how successful it will be, but I will post with any success (or, perhaps, failure - who knows).

I'm also writing imaginary proposals, because I'm a bit concerned I've forgotten how. Well, not forgotten, but practice makes perfect 'n' that.

Speaking of which, last week I played my scales in piano for the first time in about 18 years. I also realised I can still, sort of, read music. Bit if a surprise, really.

Anyway, old Joanna aside, I may be quiet this week getting on with stuff, so posts will be short. Which is a saving grace for anyone reading them, I'm sure. Cheerio for now.
