Midnight miscellanea and update on the job front

Found the Birthday Calendar via Extra Strength Surfing Fingers by way of Jules - here's what it said about me:

You entered: 6/8/1968
You were born on a Saturday
under the astrological sign Gemini.
Your Life path number is 11.

The number 11 Life Path has the connotation of illumination describing its general focus. This is the number associated with spiritual awareness. As one of the two master numbers, the 11 yields understanding and knowledge beyond the grasp of others. The attitude toward life of those possessing this Life Path is somewhat extreme; extremely intuitive, avant-garde, idealistic, visionary, and cultured. These extremes make you an interesting, if unusual person, with much to offer society. The Life Path 11 person is deep-thinking, and you are no doubt interested in understanding many of life's mysteries and more intriguing facets. Your inventive mind and broad-minded views will permit you to succeed in life in any number of ventures. You can best serve society, however, in those endeavors utilizing your skills of counseling and guidance. Much of your idealism is people oriented and quite humanitarian in nature. You expect a great deal of yourself and of those to whom you are close.
On the negative side, there is a lot of nervous tension associated with the 11 life path, and you can be a difficult person to deal with because of this. For this reason, relationships, at times, can be difficult. This is a Life Path that seems to feature broad mood swings between the elation and depression. You are likely to have trouble making decisions and getting your life in gear, so to speak. There is a tendency for the 11 to harbor feelings of uneasiness, and dissatisfaction with accomplishments and personal progress in life. Your grandiose schemes usually make sense, but you can get off the track and they can be very impractical. You have a very distinct side that lacks common sense, and you are quite often unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. In this regard, you are perhaps more of a dreamer than a doer. When you do get on target, your ideas seem to have been inspired on high. Perhaps you are not a leader, but you are a visionary and a very talented idea person.


The Julian calendar date of your birth is 2440015.5.

News on the job front: I'm still in the running for the position I interviewed for a couple of weeks ago, and I have another interview next week! :) This is for a position similar to what I'm doing now, with the benefit of a substantially bigger paycheck. The commute would be a bit farther, but I wouldn't have to pay for parking, so I'd probably still save money on the deal. We're meeting for lunch at a very nice restaurant - K said that's not the kind of place they'd take me if they weren't seriously interested. Let's hope he's right. We'll see, and I'll update as I know more. Y'all keep your fingers crossed!

Miscellaneous thoughts:

*Why do I stay up until at least midnight every night? Surely I'd feel better if I got more than four or five hours of sleep.

*Does it really do me any good to drink fat-free milk if I'm having it with a brownie made with enough butter to float a boat?

*How is it that the Wellbutrin seems to have drastically diminished my interest in anything good for me foodwise, but hasn't affected my fondness for sweets in the slightest?

I should go to bed. As soon as the load of laundry in the dryer is finished, I'll do just that.
