Of course, it would be ironic if Google+ is the thing that finally kills off Livejournal, while Facebook plods ever onwards...

Meh. Seem to be stuck in a pit of undoubtedly hormonal melancholy this evening, which is making everything feel like woe and fail, and is hampering my ability to do useful and productive things. Such as packing, more job applications, and chasing up potential meetings with agencies for the next few days.
Unfortunately the window of opportunity for useful and productive things is between now and when I get on a train at 10.30 tomorrow morning, and I can't even do my usual trick of 'oh well, who needs sleep anyway?' if I am to sound like a coherent and employable human being. (Or at least a coherent and employable designer, which is a close approximation.)
At least I now have a proper A3 portfolio sorted. One which won't entirely shatter my shoulder on the way down. (Paper is heavy. This counts as a win.) (And possibly another reason to switch to digital design in the near future.)
'Useful and productive things' may also need to include buying new smart clothes, and finding somewhere that will cut my hair at ten minutes notice, as I now appear to have meetings and interviews three days in a row.
Not convinced that any of them will lead to anything both suitable and immediate. However that may be a good thing, as I gave in and saw my dermatologist and he's now recommending me for another course of UV treatment. Could probably get that in London, but it would certainly be a lot easier to delay moving a couple of months and get the full course out of the way up here. Tempting, especially considering the huge difference it made to my eczema last time.
Would also be nice to try to meet up with some more people while in town, but as I'm still waiting to hear back from a few agencies making proper plans is proving impossible. Meh. And possibly gah.
