The one in which I don't write what I want to write

[mhuzzell]

Stupid awakeness. It always seems to happen this way: I'll be out with friends, and get sooo sleeeeepy... then I come home, and the cold air and the walking take away the tiredness, and I get home and I'm SO AWAKE. Which tends to lead to silly things like drunken emails. Or LJ posts, apparently. Except I'm not drunk. But I'm not sober, either. Dave etc. had a "barbecue" on West Sands (I still refuse to waver from my Southeastern definition of barbecue, damn it--this was a cookout). 'Twas very fun.

Good and bad news in the Great Job Hunt ('07). The bad news is, I phoned the Aquarium today, chasing up my application, and they said they would phone me back in ten minutes. So I waited all afternoon, and they never called--which also meant that I was wasting time NOT chasing up other applications, since I was waiting for their call! BUT I did get a call back (finally) from a pub, and I now have an interview scheduled for tomorrow. Will try not to appear as nervous as I feel.

I think I should stop there. Lots of time alone leads to too much introspection, and there's been an entry teetering on the edge of my mind for a few days now, but it just seems a bit too personal to actually put online.

Good luck with the interview.

What IS the difference between a BBQ and a cook-out - we always used to have cook outs when I was a guide, and they tended to involve a lot more primitive equiptment - the cooking fire, for instance, would be an upturned milk crate with bricks and a grate on which to put the food. You'd also tend to get backdrafts and come out lacking eyebrows...
