I'm in a mood today. I have these moments where I just want to stay lost in my own thoughts and not be disturbed by anyone or anything. This morning is a classic example. I just wanted to be alone, quietly contemplating life, when mom imperiously announces that she wants to go to the grocery store tomorrow. She never says please or thank you, just announces, thinking that I will infer that she is making a request. Not only do I really hate that but it unleashed a tantrum on my part. The tantrum was unnecessary. Obviously mom can't sense when I want to be left alone, which is most days of the week. What makes it worse is her usual game playing, whining, and self centeredness which passes for conversation these days. Why do you I prefer to read at the table instead of make conversation. Truthfully, I'd rather cut out the endless self-centered chatter and just eat in silence. Let me contemplate my own private thoughts in peace and quiet. If I want to engage you, I will. Otherwise, leave me alone. Today I just want to be alone with my thoughts, this isn't rocket science. What's on my mind today? A lot of things. The plethora of job prospects that showed up in my inbox and a tasty prospect from The Guardian on LinkedIn. Ugh, now I can't decide where to apply. I most definitely want to apply at The Guardian. It's for there US edition in the cultural section. I like that. I think it would be a great opportunity. There is also a couple of preservation related openings, one in the San Francisco Bay Area and one in New York. Then I have other, more personal thoughts that often crowd my head. Right, though I'm getting hungry. Time for lunch.
