As Napoleon Dynamite once alluded to it's all about skills, be it mad nunchuckau skills or being a master of bow hunting or hacking (I'm still kinda good with my bo staff). This seems to be what I have been concentrating most of my efforts in lately, skills. Primarily I've been trying to increase my skills in español pero es por mi curso de escuela. I've also been trying to increase my guitar and poker skills with varying degrees of success. The
current song I'm working on is coming fairly easily, and I played in a free poker tournament coming in 5th out of 18, and am up to 13k in my free online account (not sure what poker skills would do for me in free games but it's always good to be good at stuff). So aside from the eternal quest to get better at things that you aren't perfect at(you can never be perfect at anything, there are always mistakes in anything of human creation). So life goes on trying to get better at things.
I'm in the process of looking for a job post-graduation, not so much for the part-time gig, but for the full0time reality of the real world, the only problem is trying to fit my skill set into a job that exists, I've looked at several government jobs and we'll see if they get back to me. I'd like to get into a field where I could use my creativity which I think may have atrophied somewhat since my youth. I keep on checking my daydream skills and they get more and more mundane, the most exotic one I've had recently (
excepting Doctor Who scarf wearing fantasies) has dealt with doing cubicle work in an interesting fashion. There is nothing wrong with doing cubicle work, personally I just don't want to end up doing it, at least not just running papers from one area from another. Doing analysis of data might be fun in certain contexts, but there is a certain place I don't want to be. There is a certain point in wage slavery where I think it would be better to do things that are good for the conscience than it is to do good for the pocketbook.
