sitting still amidst the chaos

brightbluegirlAll of a sudden I've started feeling nauseaus. It started around an hour ago, and I can't shake it.
Bleck.
So I'm sitting as still as I can for as long as I can, in the hopes that I'll feel better later.
Job Stuff
I presented myself well in the interview on Tuesday morning. There's one thing I should have mentioned, that showed even more that I am well suited for the job, but I didn't. Other than that, I really feel that I looked good. More importantly, I'm pleased with how I presented myself. If they don't want me, that's just cuz they want something else - not because I screwed up.
Now it's just a waiting game, and for some reason, I'm pretty low key about it. Actually, I KNOW why - it's because I have no say in this part. When it has something to do with what I can do, I get stressed out (What more should I do? Is there anything I SHOULDN'T do? etc etc). But when it's COMPLETELY out of my hands, like this waiting to see if they chose to offer to me, I'm fine.
Wierd, perhaps, but at least partially healthy.
Anyway, I should find out, either tomorrow or next week.
Also, I spoke to abelynx, and the friend that she'd pointed me to at the company in Montreal that needed someone like me, had told her that I should re-apply, because they still hadn't found anyone. So I did that this afternoon (skipping over HR and applying directly into the QA manager), just to keep myself looking.
After all, there's still plenty of time.

We went to see The Matrix yesterday afternoon.
I loved it. It was exactly what it was supposed to be. Very Matrix. A couple of neat things, the story didn't rapidly move away from what had been set up in the first one, the effects weren't any worse, it was beautiful.
But I feel like Andrew and I are the only people in the world to like it that much! Everyone else seems to feel it's somehow bad.
I don't see why, but to each their own. (And to me - it was slick, pretty, and action-y, with enough sci-fi and differences to keep me interested)
Also, we watched American Idol. I admit, I wanted Clay to win. But I thought that Ruben would.
And either one is ok, because they're both going to be famous, and now that it's all over, I can forget about them, because now they really are becoming corporate drones, singing someone else's music - which is ok, you know, entertainment is entertainment, but it's not even really music I like (regular old pop music, that is).
Ah, whatever.
The Drama
Apparently I missed out on quite the day at work yesterday. Two guys got called on the fact that they were doing piss-poor jobs, so one guy had a hissy fit and quit.
How sad! Pathetic-sad, not teary-sad.
I've been re-reading the Laura Ingalls books. And I got to talk to abelynx, and I got to talk to thetamermaid. So I'm feeling caught up and loved again.
I love the Laura Ingalls books. They're so sweet and innocent and good. The ones I have are from 1953. They used to belong to my Aunt, and she gave them to me when I was little. Every once in a while I pick them up again to re-read them, because they feel like snuggling into a cozy blanket in a rocking chair by a window on a rainy day.
Bleck.

Matrix

Date: 2003-05-23 07:59 am (UTC)I'm with you, though - I really enjoyed it. I want to know what's up with Agent Smith, though. Did you think that first fight scene with Smith was too long?
It wasn't until I thought about it afterward did I realize why they called it "The Matrix: Reloaded." *shakes head* Never mind me, I'm just a bit slow at times. . . ~ Youmna
