I suppose I could use my excuse of having caught the flu recently, but it doesn't explain month(s) of inactivity and also... being sick didn't pan out as badly as I thought it would. :/ Just a few days of having a sore neck/sore glands, a mild sore throat, occasional headache, and mild yet oddly persistent stomach pains/nausea.
Heh... truth is, I've been caught up in the daily mundane activities- mostly watching TV, washing dishes, cooking/baking projects, and laundry. Damn that dreaded stereotypical housewifery business! >:(
I'm trying to pull myself out of the rut, though. Gonna fill out more job apps and do some drawing exercises on the morrow.

Oh yeah, speaking of jobbyness, every time I look through ads it seems like a lot of employers are looking for someone who enjoys "working in a fast-paced environment". Hmmm, isn't that an environment for ulcer breeding and nervous breakdowns?
Now, I'm not advocating laziness or sloth, but I just can't help but feel inadequate when I'm asked to do 11 things at once and do them all perfectly in less than 3 minutes.
Unfortunately, I am one of those people who gets easily distracted by little details and I miss the main goal. "Huh... there's still some gunk on this rotisserie spit. I guess I'll scrub some more... Huh? There's a dozen more to do and I've only got ten minutes left? Oops..."
I try to speed up, but that makes me nervous. When I get nervous, I get clumsy and make mistakes, which makes me even more nervous and clumsy. By the time I get done what needs to get done, I've got a huge mess to clean up and people are waiting. So trying to speed up only makes things go even slower with me. :(

And that's why I have the real-life nickname of Sluggy.
