Slipping away
Things are slipping away.
I meant to write a new short story for Friday's update, and in fact did write the beginnings of one on Wednesday, but then I never transcribed or finished it.
I started the next part of the ongoing story Colony Beta, working from notes I wrote last week, but Sunday got away from me until late in the evening, so I didn't start it until Monday morning, figuring a late update is better than no update.
Monday has, mostly, slipped through my fingers. I went out for a jog around 17:30 and decided instead to walk at a fast pace for as long as I could. I ended up walking three and a quarter miles, arriving home again around 18:15, nearly exhausted. I knew going in to it that I could walk as far as I needed; I've walked long distances before. This time I wanted to keep up a good pace, instead of a resting walk. Not quite a power-walk, but enough to maintain an elevated heart rate and make me focus on my breathing.
The rest of the evening has been spent recovering, but after fifteen minutes of rest and some food, I felt rested enough to do it again.
In slightly-less-recent news, I interviewed with ViaWest again, this time with the Regional Manager and the manager of the facility we met at. Technical questions were asked, and overall I think I answered them well. There was a sticky spot where the Regional Manager was trying to ask leading questions to get me to an answer, but I wasn't sure where he was trying to lead, so I mostly stumbled along, eventually answering as he expected. He said I should expect to hear from them one way or the other early this week, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
Here's hoping.
