Questions, questions.
May. 6th, 2002 10:53 pm- Why do I go and spend money on silly stuff while I have no job? (The silly stuff in this question being pvc pipe and foam for making a boffer sword and some fabric for making skirts.)
- Do I really like live roleplaying enough to invest in it the time, money, and energy that seems necessary to get anywhere with it? I went to Legends the other weekend, and had an ok time, but not a fabulous one; I spent a lot of time feeling useless and rather lost for much of anything to do.
- What the heck is the difference between PVC and CPVC?
- Why, when we explicitly told the cab company that we needed to be picked up at 5:00, did they not show up until 5:25, thus making us miss the commuter rail train we wanted?
- Why didn't I ever hear back about what sounded like the perfect-fit job for me? (telecommuting, editing a newsletter devoted to language and wordplay)
- Why did Houghton Mifflin suddenly decide to move their math department back from New Jersey?
- Will they hire me again?
- Why am I still missing one paycheck? Or did I mislay the stub?
- Why do I always start asking myself stress-inducing questions at night?
- What do I have in the house to eat? And why haven't I eaten since lunch?
- Should I get new glasses, or should I wait till I have income?
- Anyone need an editor? Fast, accurate, not too pricey.
- Why are so many of the songs in my collection of Spanish songs written in a women's voice, but written by men? They're fascinating. Oracion de las madres que tienen a sus hijos en brazos ("Prayer of the mothers who have their sons in their arms") is heartbreaking: "Sweet Jesus... I pray that this my son does not become a soldier."
- Where did my ability to concentrate on anything for any length of time go?
- How could I possibly have managed to forget that it's
davehogg's birthday? He's only one of my favorite people in the world. Happy birthday, Dave! *jumfem*
- How many people reading this will be totally baffled by the last word of that last question?
