It’s 7am, I’ve been up for about 15 minutes.  My first interview of the day is at 9am for the full-time IT position.  I’m hoping it goes well and I get a decent hourly wage to be able to make up for the loss with the paid blogging and lack of business-based design work right now.  I’m still working on personal and weblog templates but I heavily depended upon corporate/small-business work to get the bills paid.  Let’s just hope that $2200 a month slack is able to be picked up with this position.  I’m hoping for $12-$15 an hour, based on the companies standing and the items that they sell I hope that happens on the higher end, either way I’ll take what I can get.

I didn’t get much sleep last night, I officially went to bed around midnight  but since I’d woken up so late on Thursday I had a lot of trouble falling asleep.  I also couldn’t shut my mind up for a few hours either.  I alternated between watching TV and tossing and turning.  Counting sheep doesn’t work for me, and no matter what animal I tried to substitute things with I still just couldn’t crash.  I finally fell asleep around 3:30 and hopefully the three hours of sleep I got will be more than enough to keep me awake while driving.  I’m scared about going out on such little sleep but I’ll just make sure to have the window wide open (it’s a chilly morning) and a cup of coffee in the cup holder and a focus to keep my eyes open during the interview as well.  Heavy make-up will have to hide the dark circles, that’s the only option right now.

If all goes well I’ll be home in time to make a phone call before I miss my second interview.  I don’t think I’ll be able to handle 60 hours a week from the get-go, I do still have a business to run.  I think if I get lucky enough to make enough money with the IT position, I won’t have to take the part-time position down on the boardwalk.  I’ll base my afternoon on what happens this morning.

I have to be out of here in an hour and a half so I guess I should get my butt in gear.  Time to cake on the excess layers of make-up and re-iron my hair because it’s doing a weird crinkle thing from the angle I slept last night.
