NorKor captured a fishing boat and has been firing shots near the S. Korean border. I wonder what they think they will gain from this other than attention. Negative attention. read more
El_nor moved away from me. Boo! But it's a good move for her professionally. I guess that it what living in a college town is all about-- watching your friends move away. I wonder if I will be here forever only to die in Shands Hospital?
At least T&A are back from a trip.
Situation 1: Tomorrow I must decide whether or not to start taking Turkish. I think I will use my lunch break time for class--plus the benefit is that it is offered through my department, so no cross-departmental wrangling. It means no lunch break (no lunch dates) unless I want to take time off--maybe. More work. More shit to worry about and think about when I try to leave town for a bit. But, if I am serious about self-betterment and trying to get some sort of USA.gov type job someday, then learning a strategic language couldn't hurt.
What would you do?
Situation 2: This woman at work, who is my superior (not Boss A, but friends with Boss A), and for whatever reason seems to have taken a shine to me, emailed me a job listing. Its for more responsibilities/ a lot more pay in a different section of the University. I wonder why she sent it? I don't have the required amount experience, but I'm flattered she would think of me. Then, I second-guess myself; Is my boss trying to get rid of me? Is this a subtle nudge? Why do I take every little workplace email so seriously-- like its some sort of mind-game? Is this is the result of having worked in Japan? So I guess I should just apply?
What would you do?
