Making use of these notepads

jon_chaissonI sometimes buy those small short 8x5 legal pads when I'm at Target or OfficeMax, as they're the perfect size for note taking and to-do listing. They especially came in handy when I was doing yet another reread of one of my novels -- I'd read on my tablet and make a list of any problem sections that need work -- and it was the perfect size for doing this work in bed or on the couch. I'd then use these notes for the next revision session.
I stopped using them for a bit for various reasons, but being out of work has given me another reason to use them again. Right now it's my working to-do list, because I have such a terrible short-term memory. To wit: today's to-do list includes getting quarters from the bank (yay laundry), a quick visit to one or two local shops, giving the kitchen a once-over, and FINALLY getting caught up with some post-exodus Former Day Job paperwork.
[Side note: I had a smallish and pathetic 401k there so I'm gonna need to roll that into an IRA or something. The funny thing is that I started working in IRAs and CDs when i started at the bank, so it's like I've come full circle! Heh. Seriously, though...I'm a bit concerned because the paperwork so damn long to get to me (virus or no) that it's given me a super short deadline to work with, but I shouldn't have too much of an issue if I call them in the next day or so to have it set up. Once I take it out of that account, I have a full month to redeposit it without tax or penalty.]
The New and Improved Job Search also starts this week. Which should be interesting,considering what's going on in the outside world among other things...
