(no subject)
Things I am doing this week:
Being completely tied into knots about whether I'll get a particular job I interviewed for last week. Things went very well, but anything could happen, so I'm trying to not fixate on it too much.
Trying to resolve some of my personal programming projects into finished, usable forms, since they're all in various stages of not-done-ness right now. Most of them require some extra training or research on my part to complete, but it's all fun training and research.
Going to my first Scrabble Club meeting. They sound pretty hardcore. The leader has business cards printed just for Scrabble Club that have an index of all the legal two-letter words on the back, color-coded by which edition of the Scrabble Dictionary they first appear in. I hope I can hold my own. I've never even seen a Scrabble Dictionary.
Getting interested in genealogy again. A bit less than half my ancestors are from Calabria, the southern tip of Italy (the toe of the boot), and the rest are Swiss, Irish, English, and who knows what else. I started an account on a genealogy site, but no interesting matches have come up for my family names yet.
...ok, I'm not doing that great on not fixating on the job. I just checked my email and when I thought I had new mail, I got so excited my foot fell asleep. Seriously.
