working it

I applied for a job today. External, at SFU. No idea how helpful working in business is going to be, but apparently SFU scoops loads of people who worked on the science & business floor at VPL at some point. It's just a temporary position, but it would be experience and could be extended. I'm trying not to be negative about it; where normally I would say I don't stand a chance, now I think I am qualified for the job and there's no reason why I shouldn't get it. I also have an interview for on-call at one of the colleges in another week. I think I'm also qualified for that one, especially because of my time teaching in Japan.

Counseling is good. It makes me less mean.

My friend came over for beer and games last night, and agreed that I should keep both coats. This is good and bad. If I see them on sale this weekend... well, all that stuff I learned in counseling about naming my feelings correctly may be out the window. He also thinks I'm just "better" in general, so maybe it's time to venture out and start talking to people again.
