Normally Umlaut tries to avoid being too self-absorbed in this space. However, I just had an insane 3 weeks that I need to memorialize somehow. So......13 Things I Thought About Over The Past 21 Days:
- Never take anything for granted, especially something like employment.
- Never take friendships for granted.
- Networking is more powerful than HotJobs.
- I really like Smart Dogs with the buns slightly toasted.
- Being superstitious is comforting.
- I can never work someplace where the dudes all wear Dockers and collared shirts.
- The last Bolt Thrower album fucking rules.
- It's disconcerting to notice that the Vice President of a software / toy company who you're interviewing with has that "crazy chick" look in her eyes.
- Death Metal isn't something you can successfully share with alot of people, even close friends.
- No offense to my dogs, but my cat Eddie is the sweetest non-human I've ever lived with.
- It really isn't a good idea to watch a depressing movie when your life is teetering on the unknown.
- When you "need" a copy of a CD at 11:00PM there simply aren't any brick-and-mortar stores to run to any more. I miss Tower Records.
- Being an Iron Maiden geek can be beneficial in a "real world" situation after all.
