Potential job
Jan. 21st, 2009 12:03 amIt would be an ideal fit, and I wouldn't have to get a new one after I move. Fingers crossed.

The inagural speech
Jan. 21st, 2009 09:22 amI heard it alone, while I was driving. I'm really glad that's how I heard it. My experience wasn't colored by that of anyone around me; it was mine alone.
This is me, drinking the Kool-Aid.
This is me, drinking the Kool-Aid.
Received my final paycheck from Pilot today. All bills are now caught up.
Found out that the first job I interviewed for did NOT pass ME over, they put the PROJECT on hold. So I feel better about that. It's not that I didn't get the job, it's that no one did.
Had the colposcopy today. The anxiety I feel about it is so much worse than the actual procedure; of course, that wouldn't be the case if the first person to do the procedure hadn't been a ham-fisted butcher, but Dr. Tjoa is very understanding of that. She talks to me the whole time, and gets things done very quickly. When she does it, it hurts less than getting my ears pierced.
I slept a lot today, which I think sped up my wolverine-like healing powers. My abs barely felt weird when I went to the bathroom.
She took a biopsy. The probability is very low that it will come back positive. Still, I worry.
I'm sorry if my stance on religion upsets anyone. I know a lot of religious people read my LJ, and I interact with a lot of them in real life. That's WHY I'm so up front about it. It gives people the chance to choose not to debate me on it. And really, I hate debating to begin with. On a subject like, how to best deal with a particular crisis, it can be productive. But when it comes to something deeply personal, like a difference in politics or religion...I can discuss, but I can't debate. For instance, I can talk about the story of Elijah with no problem, but I can't debate the veracity of it. I don't react well to people trying to convince me that I am wrong in my stance. And I wouldn't expect someone to react well to me doing it. I'll make statements about how I feel about religion, but I won't ever direct them at anyone in particular. I guess the basic gist is, this is not a pretty orange flower. This is a fire. Be aware of the consequences of trying to interact with it. Do not forget that no matter how pretty it might seem, it is not a flower.
