Well, I started my temp job today… in fact, I’m actually AT my temp job right now. Don’t worry, I won’t get fired for writing this: they have nothing for us to do right now, so we (I and the five other temps) were invited to “play” on the Internet.

I’m not sure how much this job is going to affect my reading/writing schedule. Obviously, I won’t have as much time for either…. However, public transit always seemed to help my reading habits, as once I get used to the route I can just bliss out with a book for the majority of the trip.

I don’t know if I’ll be doing that today. I didn’t in the morning because this is the first time I took this route and I didn’t want to miss my stop. I could potentially do it in the evening… But the last few times that I’ve tried to read on the bus (since I left my old job in September) I’ve found myself combatting motion sickness. I don’t know where that came from, as I thought I had effectively cured myself of that this past year by insessantly reading on the bus and train. It’s probably a psychological thing: I’m reasonably certain that as soon as I get used to riding the bus every day again, I’ll get over it. (I brought along The Jane Austen Book Club today just in case). 

As for writing - well, I won’t have eight hours a day to do that anymore. Now I have to fit it into my evening which is also time I have to spend cleaning, cooking, and spending quality time with Mr. Hall. So I won’t have as much opportunity to do that, which is unfortunate, but unavoidable for the next two months (i.e. until I am hired or passed-along) by this job. I’ll still do it as much as possible; probably mostly on evenings when Mr. Hall is working.

So we shall see what the next two months bring. It should be interesting - in every sense of the word. – Mrs. Hall
