Funk Week Continues

I haven’t really done much today, which is pretty well in line with what I decided to do this week after getting shitcanned.
Basically, my plan has been to be in a funk through the weekend and not do much of anything productive.
Which isn’t really much different from what my plans for the week were like before getting shitcanned, but I do have more time to spend at home doing it.
The only thing I really did today was fill up the 300 or so comic bags I had previously boarded on my long boring Saturdays at work.
Now I’m out of bags and boards (and long boring Saturdays at work), and I still have so many more comics that need to be bagged and boarded.
I want to get the bagging and boarding out of the way before I try actually organizing them and entering them into my database.
At a guess, I’d say I need at least 600 more bags and boards.
I was awoken this morning by Kathleen calling to inform me that she was on her way to a meeting and that I was her Plan B for lunch when she got back to Leesburg, with Plan A being to have lunch with Brian.
She called back later to let me know that she’d gone with Plan A.
There have been no new developments on the job-hunting front today. Yesterday I was contacted by another IT recruiting service, though he didn’t have any specific potential jobs in mind.
I did get a call from the job placement company whose services are part of my severance package. I have to go in for an orientation on Tuesday, after which I will be set up with a counselor and will have access to their computers for job searches and for printing resumes and so forth.
They have a job fair specifically for ex-AOLers lined up on November 1st.
After I finish funk week, I’m going to start putting some serious effort into doing things like upgrading the Heroic Portraits site, and potentially launching a comics-related site that could, conceivably, generate some revenue via selling ad space.
The Heroic Portraits upgrade would involve not only overhauling the site design, but also cranking out some more pictures to flesh out the gallery and to add some more graphical elements to the look of the site.
I’m not really inclined to get into specifics about the other site idea just yet.
The plan for next week also includes doing some non-Threshold writing.
To execute these plans I’m going to actually draw up a daily schedule.
That’ll be the easy part; actually sticking to it and performing the scheduled tasks will be the difficult and, honestly, unlikely part.
But you never know.
(Okay, with me you pretty much always know, but things can change.)
