kaylarudbekWell, the cleaning is about halfway done, because I goofed off this morning instead of working. The place is looking much better, though. I really need to go through everything and ream out every single drawer, cupboard, etc.; that is, do a real spring cleaning, and not just a "lick and a promise."
My brother called me up tonight, to talk about itinerary for the trip. He was being rather sarcastic about my not having a job yet, and now I feel even worse -- like I should be staying home and looking for a job instead of taking this trip with my husband. Although after a while, I realized that my brother didn't have a job for a while when he graduated from college, went home to live with our parents, and took about a year to get the job he applied for in the city he wanted to live in. I felt that I got "encouraged" out the door after my own graduation, into a graduate school situation that I felt at the time I didn't really want to be in. But that's water under the bridge, and I am long since out of that situation and finally doing something that I like, at least most of the time. So maybe it was both sarcasm and a little bit of superiority on his part, which he would enjoy because he's my little brother (7 years younger, even if he's about a foot taller than me. I got the math genes, he got the height genes.)
I know what type of law I want to do; now if I could just figure out what sort of employer I want and find a job with that employer, the work front would be peachy keen. But I have a nagging fear at the back of my head that if I set my heart on what I think would be a good work situation, I will either not get it, or it will turn out all spoiled somehow. Sort of a "be careful what I ask for, because I'll get it...or else."
Well, the quiz I found was
You belong in the Cat Who Walks Through Walls. You
are creative and cunning. Your works often
feel empty to you, though others love them.
You suspect that the universe and everyone in
it are just characters in someone else's story.
Which Heinlein Book Should You Have Been A Character In?
brought to you by Quizilla
Astoundingly accurate about what I suspect. I always liked The Number of the Beast, and the idea of being able to access other authors' fictional universes.
Heh, here's a good question: name your top twenty favorite authors/novels/fictional universes...
The quiz author didn't put all the Heinlein novels in, obviously. My own on-line handle comes from a Heinlein juvenile, Citizen of the Galaxy. The weird thing, though, is that I started reading Heinlein with The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and not any of the juveniles that I can remember. I think that I was in about 4th grade or so (11 years old for the non-Americans) when I got my hands on that book.
