I bought a new desk on Tuesday, just a small, cheap one from The Warehouse. I don’t buy expensive stuff because I am incredibly clumsy, and I know that even if this desk was crafted from the strongest, toughest wood ever? It will only last a year, if it’s lucky. I run into things, I drop stuff, I spill everything and if it is scratchable, it shall be scratched. Oh, I made up a word. Clever me. Here is my new desk:

And another shot, different angle:

Yesterday, I mailed off an application for part-time work at a shop in Northland, because I need to work more hours. When I spoke to the guy on the phone, he seemed pretty keen, so I’m hopeful about my chances. I still have to find three more jobs to apply for to satisfy Centrelink, though. *sigh* Plus, I now have to physically take my form in every fortnight. Bleh. I hate Centrelink sometimes.

NaNoWriMo is in another week, and unfortunately I think I will have to give it a miss this year. It really sucks that it is held in November, because it’s so busy over here then. Still, there’s no harm in trying.. I just haven’t decided whether I will or not yet. I guess if I can get a fair amount of planning done this week, I will give it a shot. We shall see.
