Hello LJ, how are you?
I had a fun five minutes on my nearly hour-long commute this morning as Beck came on the air to discuss his new album.

During those times I wish I could just kick the switch over to feeling good again, but it's not always so easy to do that. Sometimes I think it's more frustrating when I feel paralyzed by sadness while my superego is telling myself that life is good. I feel like my heart's not listening, if that makes any sense.
It turned out to not be such a tough call to make in passing on the road warrior lifestyle, but I wish my next opportunity would manifest itself that quickly. I took my current job to be available to family more, and at least that part of the job has worked out smashingly. Unfortuantely, a lot of the rest of it has gone to hell. It's just not been the best market for finding a job, even for a relatively in demand field like engineering.
Thanks for the well-wishes.
