vast advance on pink sheets, look through the message
Yesterday was supposed to be my second interview, but it didn't happen because the guy who was to interview me was away from the office (I think due to illness). Now I have to wait for them to figure out their schedules and call me back. I want this job, but I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the fact that their office seems to work on Island Time. The resumé deadline for the position was June 7th. A month ago. Maybe I have a skewed view of things, but if they really needed someone for the job, they would have had someone already. It took them two weeks to go through the resumés and schedule interviews and another week to schedule second interviews for the following week. We're up to four weeks at this point, and now I have to wait until next week to hear back from them with regard to rescheduling the second interview, which probably won't be until the following week. *pulls hair out*
I understand that they may be understaffed and extra busy, but this comes across as really inefficient. Except that they don't seem to think so, otherwise one might assume they would apologize for taking so long.

I am SO freakin' happy that France won yesterday. I hope Germany wins today and France wins again tomorrow. I enjoy QUIET neighbourhoods. When the Italians won, the noise from horn-honking, screaming, whistle-blowing, and fireworks went on from around 4pm to 2am. I wanted to put a bullet in my head. I couldn't escape the noise. I could hear it in every room in my home. *cries*
*****************
The kittens only protected me so long from my wacky wonky brain chemicals. The 3-day respite was nice. I wish I understood more about the science behind it all: whether excess serotonin causes a decrease in dopamine and if that decrease in dopamine is responsible for bruxism and jaw clenching, or if it has more to do with norepinephrine than with dopamine. And how anaesthetic disrupts the process. I marvel at my geeky inclinations. woot.

This question will probably get lost amongst all of this jibber-jabber, but I will pose it anyway. While in savasana this morning, I was thinking about certain interpretations of heaven and how silly they are. One that really struck me as shallow was the idea of doing your favouritest thing in the whole world, over and over and over again, as often as you liked will no ill-repercussions. So, for example, say you looooove pasta, but your metabolism is such that if you over-indulge in the semolina goodness, you gain weight. Now that you're dead and in heaven, you can eat it whenever you want, as often as you want with no weight-gain and no worries of diabetes or hypoglycemia. And since you love pasta so much, your idea of heaven is eating pasta all day, everyday for all eternity. So my question is this:
If you could do only one thing in life, all day, everyday, for the duration of your earthly existence, what would it be and why?
