I am in a very strange mood today. And there isn't really that much I can say to explain it... other than wondering over the disconcerting fact that somehow my ability to feel emotionally connected to people seems to be directly proportional to the increase of physical distance between us. In other words, I feel closest to those who are the farthest away. And it's almost dangerous for me to have the physical distance diminish - as though it were upsetting some kind of delicate emotional balance. ( Read more... )

On a completely different note - just to drag myself down from the clouds, so to speak - I was very right in my predictions concerning the job search situation. Yesterday morning, soon before I left for most of the day, I had a call from my favorite temp recruiter about an opportunity "close to home", starting "immediately". Then, when I got back in the evening, there was an email from some model casting agency, looking for a "site moderator". The job would basically consist of "removing inappropriate content" from the site, and they say they offer a "highly competitive salary", as well as the possibility to work from home. This actually sounded so good that I filled out the application. They are supposed to contact me "within two business days" - which means by next Tuesday. I can only hope that if anything comes out of it, I will know for sure by the end of the week - because otherwise I'm starting the job I am supposed to start on the 27th, and that's that. But whatever "highly competitive salary" means, I am sure it's more than $10.50 per hour - so I wouldn't mind if they actually called back. Well - I guess we'll see. But isn't it funny how the offers just keep multiplying now that I have been "booked"?... Irony of fate, I guess. *smirk*
