There are certain things I love about this time of year. How the trees turn colors and get naked, watching my neighbors struggle with enormous piles of leaves with a thin, tangled wreck of a rake they should have replaced years prior.
And even though it's getting to be colder, I'm not yet sick of it entirely. There's something to be said for a crisp, bright day in the middle of the afternoon with the sun peaking out of some corner of the sky, taunting you with memories from a few short months ago when it actually reminded you of it's role in warming the Earth. No more iced-coffees in the morning, that's for sure.
Tomorrow I am getting my "bio" done for Blue541. Picture and everything. The collegue in charge of writing it asked for my resume and if there was anything I'd like to add for personal details. If I'd like to say anything about my family, what affiliations I have in the community, my hobbies, etc. I thought about it, and being put on the spot figured out I am really pretty boring. So I emailed him this:
"I am a 31 year old, single, struggling professional who lives alone with my cat. My interests include drinking and my dislikes include grizzly bears and fire."
The troubling thing is, the people I work with have an offbeat sense of humor - and I can't say I would be entirely suprised if some of that actually went into print. Ironically, if it does, I'd probably stay there forever.
I'm not entirely new to my line of work in this new setting - however, over the last few days of being glued to the internet, I have been doing alot more research in the field. I am quickly discovering that my lack of a social life allows me to daydream less and focus far more on actual work. I have also reaffirmed the fact that I am a bonefide genius. So friends, even though I am a hopeless geek - at least you can say you knew me when ;)
