the seamless structure of summer

i haven’t had much time to write lately. i’ve been busy with… i’ve been busy.

is the state of employment incredibly bleak in austin or am i really this unskilled? the job search is depressing me something fierce. and it’s a strange feeling not knowing how i’m going to pay rent next month. strange feeling fearful? yeah, really fucking strange. it’s been a while since i couldn’t honestly say “it’ll all work out.”

still, i’ll keep saying “it’ll all work out” though. it doesn’t help to be fatalistic.

despite my worries, i guess i’m technically not “unemployed”. i have an internship. it doesn’t pay the bills, but it comes with perks like company happy hours and maybe a free trip to NOLA.

tim turned 27 last tuesday, happy birthday to tim!

my ol’ buddy Dave left an incredibly sweet comment for me on his b-log today. it made me blush and tear and smile all at the same time:

Today is the Wolfram picnic — we’re all missing your bright red smiling face.

sometimes I miss Wolfram so bad it hurts. especially in times of employment strife. i had it all there: friends, fountain diet coke, mystery, mayhem, cash, motivation. it’s hard to let go.
