i'm doing a bit of writing at the moment.

i'm drafting a novel (well, several), at least one article, and ocnsidering finishing those darn essays for the grad dip ed. oh, and i'm back to writing job applications. yeah. those suck. but a job would be welcome income - and give me 'something to do' ... lol!

if all my writing were for the write a novel in a month thingo, i'd have passed the 50,000 work limit in week two. day two of week two.

no wonder my eyes hurt.

a new monitor would help. and some extra ram. and a new video card. and another hard drive.

which brings me back to the job application/s.

i'm applying for a position as a prosecutor with the state dpp (department of public prosecutions). i'd like to give that a go. be on the other side of the game. and it would be good experience for other things i have in mind.

i've actually rediscovered my desire to practice law. and i'd like to get into dispute resolution, be a mediator and such-like. i'm also interested in certain kinds of disputes, including certain kinds of crimes. so working for the dpp would be a good thing™

irony is, the dpp was one of my two preferred employers when i came out of law school in the first place.
