A Good Day

Hello Everyone:

I'm in a better mood today. I'm not in one of woe-is-me mindsets. It's not Friday yet. Anyway, I had a good day in the blogosphere. I posted a piece on transportation, urbanization, and innovation. It's based on a study that analyzed data from the 19th century, correlating it with patent information from the period. Moving America forward. I also got a reply to an email I sent to someone I wrote about in a post last week. He's the head of a New York City historical society who is trying to draw attention to a little known community near the 9/11 Museum. He was appreciative of my post and support. He sent me a link to a follow up article. It's always gratifying to get a response when I reach out to people in that way. It makes me feel like I'm doing something positive. The Brit BF suggested that I mention it at the interview on Friday. Blow my own horn at a job interview?  Why not?  It doesn't hurt. Truth is I don't really like to tout my own accomplishments. I don't like to show off. I don't like any attention on me. This is one reason I'm dreading Friday. It'll just be me and the whoever(s) in the room. At least, it's not supposed to rain. A non-sequitur but I it's one less thing to get anxious about. I'm sure it'll all be good but I'm still dreading it. I told the Brit BF that he should whisper sweet nothings into my ear during the interview. I told I'd hide a Bluetooth device under my hair so I don't have to look at my phone. Anyway, almost bedtime and it's another ice cold night.
