I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I restarted my computer and it sucks less. Not that I've fired up Chrome yet--Opera Classic is plenty fast.
Okay, interview done and it felt okay, but I dunno. Will debrief with recruiters, go get pizza and run errands.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Gosh, I'm tired, having Ubered for nearly 6 hours (with breaks, i.e. jelly donuts -- I now know there's a convenient DD in the South End with a parking lot!), for a total of 75 miles and nearly $150 in fares. (That's total miles, including going to pick up people and cruising around looking for a place to park).
The time does go fast, at least. I do really really want a regular job and soon, but at least I'm keeping the wolf at a court-mandated 300 feet away.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay, pizza!
Yay wolf respecting the restraining order (I am picturing Theo & the Wolf much like Prof Duncan & Senor Chang (now with Peter & the Wolf as the soundtrack. This is getting to be pretty entertaining!))

Shrimp pizza left in my car--not my brightest move. The windows are cracked. I need air-it-out weather.
Or Febreze.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Job ~ma, ita! And Plei!
I just talked to my boss for nearly an hour. Now I'm eating a chocolate frosted donut for lunch. I'm feeling pretty good.

Spent my last day off feeling rather queasy. Not sure why. Did get a fair bit done, but just crashed this afternoon.

Where in Texas, meara?
Dallas and San Antonio--not even places where I know people. I don't think! BOO. I mean, there are some centrally-located places I'd be fairly happy to go to (Austin, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, etc) but no. I'm not sure who came up with the doctors on this list--14 of them are in Florida (OK, so it's for an osteoarthritis study, and there's lots of old folks in Florida, but STILL...that seems so easy and unfair for the woman located in Florida!). I'm hoping they've planned a LOT of travel time in their budgets.
LinkedIn suggests recruiters for you?
I have recruiters coming out my ears on linked, but not the kind you need. They just incessantly contact anyone with my job title in their resume and suggest other jobs.
