Things Which Made Me Contemplate Crying With Joy Last Week

1.) Arrays in perl
2.) Notebook++ (the last time I was this emotional about tools, I'd just been introduced to a nanodrop)

Eventually I will get to a point where pipe and grep come back into my life. And then I will be unstoppable.

Oh yeah,

3.) Paid off another student loan. Probably should see about putting the last-and-greatest loan into deferment or forbearance now, yes?

I did not burst into tears (joy or otherwise) at the resume feedback I've gotten, but it's been incredibly useful. I know what I did at my old jobs, but I was in the guts and cogs of it, so figuring out how say I'm awesome and value-adding is an ongoing and only somewhat welcome challenge. A better challenge would be getting hired and working on lab stuff, but hopefully some cover letter tune-ups and interview practice will make that happen.

Sunny Sunday

In good news, I hit the Union St Fair with jd and his boyfriend, and sweet-talked a 1L metal water bottle out of the Zipcar people.

In less good news, I also helped interview two potential roommates, went to the beach, and tutored, which apparently counts as overdoing it. The job application I opened an hour ago is still open and unedited. Better luck tomorrow morning, I hope.
