sleep is for the wicked....
yes, it's true. i am once again sleep deprived. oh well...once i'm good and dead i'll have lots of time to sleep.

excitements for today included bites on my resume from several interesting companies...hopefully the one i want will come through, and i can get a big discount on my favorite model of pocketpc....i'm now 5 days from unemployment and the panic is pretty stable, but things are looking up.

i decided on where i'm going to take my technical writing program. humber college has a great program, which is comprised of two separate certificates - technical writing and computer studies for technical writers. the first chunk is mostly the theory of writing, presentation and design. the second goes indepthly into software like robohelp and framemaker with coding in html, xml and java. in total, the two programs consist of 11 courses, but i can knock it down to 9 by overlapping the 2 electives from the first program onto the second. i probably won't go that route though, because i want to know everything! i will most likely overlap the framemaker course and take technical editing as an elective, leaving me with 4 more courses required once i finish the first section.

i installed microsoft onenote this evening, which looks absolutely perfect for outlining writing projects. it lets you freeform chunks of text and then drag them around from spot to spot. i love it. so does this dude. i also reinstalled streets and trips because i was too lazy to select canada from the hideous setup at mapquest to look up a potential employers location. note to mapquest, get a clue, get a .ca domain so i'm not forced to search for the evil 'canadian address' thing. or maybe a cookie that remembers that i have never looked up an american address...i'm not about to start now.

need an accessory for your kyocera cellphone? feeling a little dull in the kitchen? check out these puppies...knives with gusto!

i'm going to go lay in the dark and wish i was asleep...
