The good, the bad, and the scholastic

so I'm getting all this stuff done for "Coming Out" week and nothing for school. And I am still in this nameless fear thing and I don't know why. But soon Stef and I will be watching the Simpsons and then later this week I will have ALL the "Dykes to Watch Out For" series with the ORIGINAL covers. That's right, none of this "one random scene with a color washed over it". And I have coffee ice cream and chocolate chips. So I don't know what I'm worried about anyway.

dun dun DUN

A vague, ominous feeling about the work I have to do for school, work, queer extra-curricular obligations, and my future. And I just officially said "thanks, but I'll pick the void" to JPMC. One door closes and hopefully a window opens with the tech interview I have on Friday that I have to study like mad for. Sigh. I don't know why I feel so nervous. I don't have THAT much to do. Nothing to really stress over. Ugh. I should go do my CS reading.

Roasted vegetebles, pina coladas, and Buffy til 4:30 am. And nothing particular to do tomorrow. Perfect. Just perfect.

Things that are the greatest

I have "Dykes and Sundry Other Carbon-Based Lifeforms to Watch Out For" and the "Simpsons Complete Third Season DVD". I am never leaving the house again. Except to go to that cheap Indian food place with the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Samosas. And if someone wants to give me money. Or a job. Or a hug.

Things that are even greater

My interview today that started by the interviewer talking about how the job I'm applying for (SDSE) is for people who "don't make the grade" for this other job (SDE) which is for "the top 1% of the top 1%" (which Brigid has pointed out would be more succinctly called "the top .01%"). So I was like, "great". But then she LOVED me, more than my family does! And she kept saying things like "that's one of the best answers I've heard" or "yeah, I love that too". And now she is going to recommend me for the high status "creme de la creme" job! So I have to pass a grueling tech interview ON THE PHONE on all the various programming languages I claim to know. I have to study up. But even if I don't get the status job, it seems I will almost definitely get the one I'm applyng for. Which seems to be better for teaching you and it's hourly, so I'd get paid for overtime. And that is all that matters in the end.

Things that are really great

1. Aaron and my CS project COMPLETELY works and all we have to do it comment and it isn't even DUE til tomorrow at 2am. Well, with one late day. But we rock all that is to be rocked.

2. The CS Women's study break where Lisa, Tia, Eva, and a few other CS women played a very energetic game of Pictionary (with Eva's, my, Lisa, and Tia's team winning) and it was SO fun and funny and great and that should happen every month. I was so good at guessing considering that I'm usually yelling things like, "that monkey that that musician has and it bangs the cymbals together!"

3. My phone interview tomorrow for the job I think I want, no I know I want ... that I am interested in.

4. My mom visiting in 2 days.
