Apply away!

Tomorrow will be a busy day for me as I start voluntary work in the Archives unit at the University of Newcastle on the photographic scanning / metadata project. I will be putting in a good six hours, or as long as the unit needs me for.

Other plans for tomorrow include making a start on the four library applications that close on Friday. I think I'll probably have most success with the casual library assistant position with Lake Macquarie City Library, though will also put in an application for the two library technician positions; the final position is of General Library Assistant at the university - I don't think I have much chance of getting than one, so if will apply for it last. If I find I'm running out of time, I'll ditch it, but I want try at least submitting all four, or three of the four at best.

I had a day inside today, I just didn't feel like going out, and really had no need as TAFE hasn't called me in for quite sometime. I'm hoping eventually the university will call me - I unfortunately didn't make the cut for the exam invigilator's position, but perhaps it was for the best as I'm intending to enrol as a student at the university next year and would have had to surrender the position anyway. I can't really see a lot of money coming from it - less than $500, but work is work I guess and I can't be picky - a couple of hundred dollars here and there would really help me out.

Thankfully no more houses have caught alight, but I am really worried by the situation with two houses so close to me now thoroughly destroyed. It was difficult to get to sleep last night and I'm not sure if it will be possible to sleep for the next fortnight, wondering if my house will be next. I will have to be positive and turn my attention to reading and listen to my Paul Mauriat collection, as a way of finding inner solace.
