I am starting to recover from my cold I think. It still sounds bad, but I am feeling a bit more energetic. The really hard part for me is talking. Using my voice just takes a ton of energy. I get worn out from a phone call. This was actually the first thing to happen, before the nose and the horrible cough. It is just really hard to project my voice, and after each sentence I have to rest and regroup. Starting from an already-quiet voice, this whole thing makes me crazy. Plus, I am such a talker that I have trouble staying quiet. Today I am going to walk out to the lake with Mona and Kevin. Hopefully he can either do a lot of the talking or be comfortable with silence. Of course, I probably have to yell at Mona (not in a bad way, just to encourage her when she's 100 feet out in the water), but in many cases I can use clicks, snaps, and whistles to communicate with her. Naturally, after getting to contract for working at a nice high hourly rate, I wanted to call mom and dad and tell them the news. I was so excited I didn't realize how tired I was getting. After a 20 minute conversation I had to lay down and rest.
I am so procrastinating on writing a cover letter. It is for a job I would love to get but for which they will undoubtedly say I am not qualified for, unless they are super smart. And most people aren't. Ya know, that's the one benefit of this whole phd fuck up in my job search-- when I finally *do* get an interview, it is with people who know a bit about theory and high-level math, and it's for jobs that would be cool to have. It doesn't happen often, but I don't have any lamos wasting my time with gratuitous interviews. Of course, if I did, I would have more contacts to put down on my sheet and fewer cover letters to write. hmmph.
