Present.

Have I mentioned recently how fucking brilliant the Kronos Quartet is? No, really – if you don’t listen to them in all their glorious weirdness – you really should. I’m listening to Howl USA which was released in 2005 and is an incredible mix of old spoken word and new music. Incredible and paranoia-inducing (specially the J. Edgar Hoover piece)…. and the Cold War Suite is beautiful in historical lessons.

I mostly wanted to post to let everyone know that hey! I’m okay… and have had a few days of visitors and hometime which has been really great. I’m working tomorrow and Thursday but that’s it this week – which makes for at least a bit of the break I’ve been needing. I found a job posting online today at the University of Victoria which I am super-qualified for and wrote a cover letter to go with the resume I have to reformat tomorrow. Although I would prefer to stay with the federal government for some reasons – there is a part of me right now ready to throw all the cards up to the air at once to see what happens – so we’ll just see if I get an interview before worrying about having to make a choice.

I’m in an interesting space right now, feeling simultaneously confused and confident. What next? We’ll see.
