follow up interview

Interview is actually a misnomer, here: I'm going back in to take a test. However, in so far as this is a test they have to pay for me to take, it a good index of their interest. In so far as their hi...

When it is quiet.

Without going into the sordid details, I must confess that my life is as an exercise in irony. When it's very, very quiet, I swear I can hear the universe laughing.

What I don’t get

It’s strange and scary

and good to feel this alive again. Even if you think you're dead, a bolt out of nowhere can bring you back to life. It's also a little odd when running ten miles gets easy, but that's another story. I...

Until I began paying attention

I hardly noticed what a bitchy, whiny person I'd become since I stopped working at DE. This was pointed out to me recently, and I've been amazed at just how freaking annoying I've become. Thankfully, ...
