It's -16 at work today. That is not okay. I do not have an adequate coat for this kind of ridiculousness. I need one of the puffy ones where it looks like you wrapped your comforter in trash bags and stapled it to your body.
I have a bunch of angsty updates I've resisted posting. Basically things are really good right-this-very-minute, but I'm very nervous about the not-too-distant future.
I need a job. I made it through the first round of job-I-really-want (which I expected, I work here, it would be awkward for them not to grant me an interview). They cut the field down from 33 to 10 and all of them are PhDs or ABD (I'm ABD). They haven't started interviewing yet, but there is a meeting of the committee on Wednesday. I am cautiously optimistic.
There are also a couple other jobs that I need to apply for that aren't quite what I want to do, but one is closer to home and they are in art museums so it's worth applying. I'm not really qualified for them, but I think I can string together a coherent narrative and maybe they'll see my cv and keep me in mind for something more curatorial that might become available.
I played D&D this weekend. B. plays every week and is running a 3-4 session campaign for me and M. along with the 3 people he usually plays with to see if I like it. Other than a handful of sessions D. ran a few years ago I've never played. I seem to be picking it up pretty quickly. (I was really worried about looking like an idiot because B. and co. have played for like 20 years.) We're playing 4 which isn't overly complicated. I'm a Deva Avenger, it's fun.
Now I might leave the cozy circle of my space heater to get some hot chocolate. Decisions decisions.
