I got Carried away!

I never thought I would say this, but God bless Sex and the City!

We're having special late showings of SATC at work this week. A 10.30 showing to try an accommodate some of the demand. So far, the only thing I've really gotten out of that film is an overwhelming feeling of love and appreciation towards my girlfriend for the fact that she's NOT one of the stupid women who go and see this film. Relax Amie, that's not a dig at you.

Tonight, however, was different. Because of the late showing, i was rostered on till 1.30, instead of the usual midnight or around. You get double pay after midnight. Add to that it was a public holiday. So that's double, public holiday pay. Yay.

Also, after about 9.30 or so at work, if you plan it right and get everything done by then, you've got a couple hours of down time, where there isn't much to do, and there aren't any new sessions starting. I usually take advantage of this time to get a bit of work done. Thanks to tonight, with the extra hour and a half, I got quite a bit done. Including yet another page finished! So that's 19 done, 6 to go. With 8 days to go. And I have tomorrow off. With a bot of luck - ah, luck hell. I can get at least two done tomorrow just piss farting about. If I push myself, I should be able to get four more pages completed tomorrow. That gives me a few days to get those last two pages done, which I'm gonna need. There not as complete as the others. Who am I trying to kid? One's loosely sketched, the other hasn't even been draw yet! But things are progressing so well, that I'm really not too concerned.

It's funny when I think back a month, how despondent I was. I was completely convinced that there was no way I could get this book finished in time for Con. Now, I feel like I'm actually going to have a few days off before the con starts. It's amazing how things can turn around so completely in so little time.

I don't have a clever sign off tonight. I'm tired, it's late, and I can comfortably go to bed, knowing that I accomplished something tonight. That will do me.
