Day 53 (this and that)

Well, Baby Spidey's fever is back :-(  It's not as high as it was Friday, thank G-d, and it's now with less vomit, but it still makes me sad. Poor baby. Luckily, it does not seem like Husbinator's tummy-ache turned into BSM's terrible-horrible.

On the reading front, Bag of Bones has joined The End of Eternity in my "return to library without completing" stack. This time it isn't the Hebrew: it's the story. I've heard lots of people say that they like the "delicious" feeling of being scared. I think they're slightly nuts. Or just not scared enough. I do not like the feeling of being scared. I do not enjoy the stomach-clenching need to turn on the light to make sure that scary things aren't happening when the baby cries. I can choose not to read scary books. Ha! (And yes, I know that King is known for horror, but I've ready plenty of his books that are not horror, and I enjoyed them greatly.) Now I'm up to the last Hebrew book we took out of the library: The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Hope it's better than people seem to think the movie was!

In more productive news, I followed one of the many, many links that the NBN employer counselor forwarded to me, and spent a good amount of time looking at companies. I just go through the list, seeing what each company does, where it's located, how big it is, and if I would have any interest in working for them. It's not a Big Bucket O' Fun, but it is actually kind of interesting. A lot of these companies do cool stuff.

Even more productively, I talked to Uncle Red about job-hunting, specifically in the engineering field. It was a very, very useful conversation, and I shall continue to research companies. I'll also start sending emails to my professors asking if they know anyone over here. I might wait until after Pesach for that one, though. The best part about the conversation, though, is that everything feels more organized in my head, now. Yay, having direction and concrete goals! Also yay starting my job search months before I actually need a job.

And last, but certainly not least, I gave myself a long-overdue haircut. I need to wait for my hair to dry to see how it came out, but the "flip my hair over my head and cut a U-shape" has worked just fine in the past (instant angles and layers!), so I'm not too worried.
