So I got a new job. I'm working with a subsidiary of Nike as a "Business Specialist." My job is to observe the activity of other companies (through internet, stock reports, etc) and help create a model for our company's practices. I'm beginning to better understand why these places outsource. It really is just more cost efficient and overall a better option for the business. When you can examine these things closer, you can better understand.
There's another Biz Spec I work with named Stan. We've been talking a lot, spending lunches together and I don't know... He's just wonderful. We started off arguing about Bush (he voted for him. yes, twice) and we ended up realizing we agree on more than we disagree. He's really conservative though so I feel... a bit inadequate around him. I've just got to be careful about my language and work on being more ladylike. He's helping me become a better woman.
Psychology is looking less and less appealing. Will something like that even be helpful 30 years from now? Shoot,10 years from now? We need to focus on concrete things not abstract things like "the mind." What does that mean anyway? "The mind?" It seems so silly now. You can't measure how well these people progress in therapy. Nor if they progress at all. So what's the point? I'll have to ponder it more, but it seems rather useless at the moment.
I'm going to try and move as soon as possible. Stan said he got some strange looks when he left my apartment a few nights ago. I worry for his safety. I don't want to have to continue to feel anxious about him coming here. I once loved this place, but maybe I should live in a more diverse community. If only to expose myself to different people. That and if the place is more diverse then Stan is less likely to be targeted.
Blah.
