OMG, I am fucking exhausted -- an interview at the end of the day is hard! Also, I got so screwed by the cab company, I was late, which was mortifying, but I still think they like me. Apparently the staff really liked me last week, so we'll see what the boss thought today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Fingers crossed, Jesse

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Knock wood, J-dogg.
I just outed my art self to a co-worker who's a brilliant artist. Like, not my doodling stuff, but my portrait-a-day photography. He was trying to brace me that his art is seriously weird, but I think me stressing he'd never see some of mine EVER helped open that barrier. His stuff is fascinating--I felt adrift and... well, Amy knows what kind of insecurity I bring to the party. In spades.
And the questions he asked me about my photographs--he's really into this. He's an artists who does IT to pay the bills. He's really about story and experience and dedicated to craft. It's impressive and not a little uninspiring.
Now to see if I can scrape together anything PG on my tablet to show him.

Because books.
I can think of lots of things you could show him! No idea if they're on your tablet, though.
Jesse, fingers crossed! Second interviews are a good thing.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
We started a new test cycle at work, and my manager sent an email to the group: "Please validate your defects."
I spent the rest of the day resisting the urge to reply, "You want a note from my doctor, or my family, or both?"

I hope you get good news, Jesse.
Uhg, I cooked up some cauliflower soup tonight. That's not the uhg. The uhg is I don't like the house smelling of onion and shallots. Correction, I don't mind it for a few hours, but after that, it just reminds me of sweat. Luckily, warm enough I can open up the windows. I wish my oven vent actually vented outside.

Whoa, Blockbuster:
I thought they were already closed?
ARGH. I am being nibbled by ducklings.

You know when you feel like puking must at least improve things?
Yeah.
Unrelatedly, I'm organising the perfect present for my sister (personalised memorabilia), and I'm crafting a fakeout present--Colin's signing a head shot to her.
I am a little worried I'll be too convincing and she won't like the real thing...nah...

Oh ita, I'm sorry it's been such a week.
