My creative space


, originally uploaded by quiltingmick / michelle.

This week I've been busy applying for a job. Well, I've been busy procrastinating about applying for the job.

I've been spending a little time each day enjoying the most beautiful sunshine, sitting on the stairs of my deck and eating my lunch. The garden is so exciting at the moment - the viburnums are sending out their white puffy flowers, the crabapple is about to shoot and the frogs in the pond are warming up for a massive season of croaking.

I expect I'll be spending some more time out here today, trying to work out how to squish answers to seven selection criteria into only 2 pages without resorting to Arial 8 pt.

Maybe if I spent more time doing than thinking ... oh, that could be so dangerous!

    That sandwich looks really good. And I think that thinking about applying is just prep for the actual applying, so it counts. :)

    I am a massive procrastinator and it is so frustrating when I think about the time I've wasted thinking about what I want to be doing instead of getting done what i need to be doing. But, I am also comfortable justifying some of it as "important thinking time". Good luck with the application!

    Stop procrastinating! Not that I can talk!

    And I have garden love at the moment too.

    Yum! What a tasty looking lunch :-)

    Making the margins really small can sometimes help! And then choosing a paragraph that has only one word in the last line of it to attack means you don't have to cut as many words to get a whole extra line to work with!! I have had lots of practice at this ;-)

    Lunching and garden gazing is so much more interesting than answering selection criteria. Just tell them that I said you're fabulous darling!

    Nothing wrong with 7.5pt Arial in my book - good luck!

    I think procrastinating is valuable thinking time - I reckon when you come to write your answers they'll flow out like wine!

    When I read "seven selection criteria" I shuddered.... they I read Tammy James' comment and I shuddered again. Having been there, done that, I'm sending lots of positive vibes your way to get that bloody ridiculously long application done.

    Ohh, that reminds me that I should be applying for a job too... I'm postponing it all the time. Perhaps I should also spent a few hours each day doing that... Good luck on the job hunt - I hope you will find a job that you love! :)
