A job search

Since October I have been patiently applying for jobs and attending interviews, and now I am just so ready to get back to work. I know the economy is not good, but jobs are still being posted I am getting phone calls and occasional interviews so I am feeling positive that one should turn up soon. I had 3 interviews last Thursday and I have 2 more interviews today so I have high hopes that something will turn out.

I'm really not trying to just settle for any ole job either, I am trying to get something at least in the technical field. I feel I have some sort of advantage right now because it is near the holiday season and some people get lazy on their job search well I am going to be the one who keeps looking and hope to have an awesome company pick me up where I can get some real world experience and build on my skills.

Zoneing out


Sometimes it just feels so good to zone out. To where your so sucked into something or so deep in a thought that time passes without you knowing. It is kind of like a high.

I started to read an article to get some more insight because I already started to get sidetracked. Based on some 'mind wandering study' they reported "Drunk readers actually reported less mind wandering than sober people did." Then followed it up by saying "These experiments show that we spend about 13 percent of our time zoning out. But when we are drunk, that figure doubles. In other words, inebriated subjects report less mind wandering only because they are less aware of their own minds."



When I completely zone out it is such a good feeling, but I usually know it is occurring and feel like I don't want to come out but then I realize I probably look non responsive just starring at something random probably makes me look crazy, well... maybe I am.
