Job Prospects and a Pretty End Table...

Ok, so...today was a semi-productive day. Although I didn't get to all of the items on my to-do list, I did manage to get to some things that have been looming for quite some time...namely my license renewal. My birthday is at the end of November, so theoretically, this should have been done then...but as my penchant for the procrastination makes sure I do nothing before it is well overdue, I did it today.
I have decided that the first order of business that I need to tackle to get my life back on track is get the hell out of my job. I am a secretary right now, and I work in the most emotionally toxic environment ever. My boss is a total bitch from hell, and almost every person I have encountered here lies like it's his job. In short, I hate the living daylights out of it. Basically, I am applying for anything that will pay me as of right now. I personally do not think that working for basically minimum wage at a job that is like, 50 km from my house is conducive to living the stress-free life that I am seeking.
My bf, Steve and I are currently cohabitating with his parents. They really are lovely and so generous, but we are definitely looking at moving on ASAP. To occupy ourselves and to sate our restlessness, we have resorted to looking at furniture and design on the web. It's almost like porn for us. Only without the whole "arousal" aspect. We already had some gorgeous chairs reupholstered, and we are looking at making a table.I love the little square end table to the left of the couch, so we are going to attempt to recreate it. I think it will look suitably chic in a dark walnut stain, and it will match our grey ostrich skin chairs very well.

S is an engineer, and a bit sensitive about his woodworking skills...it's a man thing I think. He really wants to make this table himself, so he can show me his mad carftsman skillz...

Ok, so...this week starts the South Beach Diet. I've been on it before. It works, but I AM a crazy bitch when I am on it. I have to do it for the bikini though. I am quite unsightly right now in my "natural" state. I might do the whole weigh-in/measurement, or I might just lie. We'll see what I decide.
Tomorrow's goals:
-Oil change
-Pick up my meds
-Manicure
-Do NOT kill the bitch-boss
-Make rice pudding
