Hello Everyone:
A good day in the blogosphere. I posted an article on a study on the complicated link between cities and obesity. You would think that living in the city would mean easy access to the things necessary for healthy lifestyles. Surprisingly, this isn't the case. Where a person lives and whether or not your neighbors are obese are key factors. That and genetics, amount of exercise, alcohol and tobacco consumption are also factors. Really fascinating stuff.
I was still feeling anxious about the upcoming interview next Friday. I've essentially convinced myself that I won't make it past the first interview. I was sharing with the Brit BF that I'm still not sure I want the job. I want more than just a paycheck. A paycheck I can earn anywhere, doing anything. What I really want is a job that will let me expand my skills and intellect. He reminded that an tiny account should be enough reason to get a more steady job. The skills and intellectual expansion is the Holy Grail. During the conversation, I found myself using a celebrity quote that made sense in moment. Then I got mad at the person who originated the quote. Then, I got mad at the Brit BF for being relentlessly optimistic, positive, pragmatic, and making me laugh. Not too mad. Anyway, I'm still not sure that this is the right one for me. I guess after so much disappointment, I've learned not to get excited about anything. Even if I should get the job, I've convinced myself I won't last. Again, experience. I can't even give myself the luxury of optimism.
