That's when it hit me.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -Douglas Adams-

Good news and then the catch. It can be maddening. I caught wind of a couple of legitimate career job opportunities in the last few days. These are ones that I would actually have a more than fair chance of getting, since the people that told me about them were eager to have me work there. This is AWESOME news. Then came the catch. The positions weren't actually open until the late fall.
Talk about taking the joy out of good news. I am still thrilled about the potential, don't get me wrong. I would just be even more thrilled if I thought I could be starting sooner. Such is life, I suppose. I will just have to be patient.
Perhaps I need to be more Zen like.


Pax, all.
