Today's report

354 words. Wrote a scene at kijjohnson's suggestion, about Ingrid waking up from a nightmare and Solveig comforting her.

Had a great talk with kijjohnson last night and would like to write about it at length. Think I will, but not now. Need to get to work.

Career envy

Minicon was tremendous fun, as I've said, but I've noticed another reaction, one that I recognize, which often hits me several days after a good con.

Career envy.

( More )

( I have to fight against envy when considering these writers )

( Why some other writers might envy me )

One final thought to leave you with: Someone remarked to me sometime during Minicon this past weekend that Envy is the only one of 7 deadly sins that provides no pleasure whatsoever.

Cheers,
Peg

FROM FIONA: Your reply cordially requested

Tomorrow, as part of Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work, Fiona is going to be visiting Rob's store and spending the day with him, learning about his job. The last two years, she has spent this day with me at my office, learning about my job.

I'd like her to give her the chance to learn about a lot of jobs. Specifically, your job.

Won't you tell Fiona about your job, so she can get an idea of the vast possibilities in the World of Work out there?

If you can, please leave Fiona a comment by tomorrow night, telling her about your career. Something like:

What your job title is, and what that means

A description of a typical day

What you need in the way of training/education/experience to do this job

Why you like it and (if you dare)

Why you dislike it

What sorts of things can go wrong at your job?

What kind of person thrives in your job

Anything else you can think of that would give her an idea of what it might be like to choose your career?

I'd like her to get as many replies as possible. Thanks ever so much!

Cheers,
Peg (and Fiona)
