Waves of relief; you're no longer a flamingo.
Don't know why that popped back into my head, probably something to do with the self-mandated overtime being almost over. More time and energy to focus on harder thing, like job hunt. After visiting a career fair last Saturday, I was left with a mild to medium feeling of inadequacy... general "I'm not ready for this" stuff brought on by not fulfilling any of the requirements for positions I'm interested in. That's probably an exaggeration, but it feels that way to me. I did pick up some good tips from the lecture on interviewing, and at least I can learn more about the two companies there relevant to my interests, even if the appearance is that I couldn't get a job at either one even if I sequentially fellatiated their entire board of directors and the HR departments to boot.
In other news, there is a steady stream of ants traipsing to their doom in several places in my apartment. Really, they sealed their fate when they swarmed my counter top for the three breadcrumbs I left out after breakfast yesterday. I don't want to have to limit my usable kitchen space to the tiny area next to my stove, and while I try to keep the place clean, I don't think I should have to develop an OCD about scrubbing surfaces 5 seconds after I use them.
New running shoes are on their way here, hopefully in time for the race Saturday. I'm really enjoying cooking rice and covering it with stir-fried veggies and Boca. 80 degrees Monday, it snowed yesterday, perhaps tomorrow will be a tornado? I really need to grab my camera and take some pictures of the mountains when the weather is good.
Overall, life gets a B+ right now.
