Blessing
I might be a little behind, but I really can’t complain. Last week I went through two cycles of euphoric mania and utter despair, staying up till 6am one of those nights trying to figure out something that couldn’t be figured out. Then Saturday night I blew my own mind in more implications of the Theoretica, if you remember that. And finally, after all this time, on Tuesday, January 26, I believe I finally figured out enough that I had a vision of it ALL: the whole thing, how all the pieces fit together and WORKED. It was another rest of the day just high on that grand vista that had appeared in my mind’s eye. I could now start writing that paper I always imagined I’d write, describing it all. Yeah, baby. Yeah.

Another reason I’m rather chilled out these days is that I decided that whatever I get done, I’m going to get myself a day job. So I’ll probably be boning up on my C# and Java next week, along with sprucing up the old resume. I might not have to go far to get paid, it would seem, because my roommate just became president of his company, and he needs to clean up the mess the last guy left behind. Funny story: he had me talk to the top IT guy on Sunday, and I found out that they are totally lacking in technical infrastructure. The next day, he mentioned that he’d like me to write a little something describing my recommendations. I took about a half hour and chugged out some ideas, and the roommate was so impressed he told me to invoice his company for 2 hours worth of work. Not bad.

As far as things go, the only thing bad (apart from not having a girlfriend, which I’m pretty used to by now) would be that I just don’t get out enough. The only place I ever go is one of the big bookstores where there’s a cafe so I can get coffee and work among the books. My friend Karla and another friend said they’ll be coming for a weekend at the end of February and drag me out of the apartment to some museums. I’ve also been talking (rather hypothetically) with my friend Dough in Korea and seeing what I’d like to do as far as greater travel is concerned. Dunno now, now that I’m almost assuredly going to have a day job again, when I could get away. But who knows what the future brings? Not I, even if I pretend to, sometimes.

In which the curse always ends up being the blessing.
