This week’s stream of consciousness update

It’s been a crazy week. There have been run-ins with some police with a really bad attitude, excessive numbers of job interviews, nights without sleep, and days where I didn’t want to do anything but. We had three brunches scheduled for Easter, only making two before I had to come to to check on the neighbors’ dog and ended up passing out. Wednesday was the Vampire Weekend concert (fantastic), with Yacht (weird) as the opening band. The script reading I went to yesterday was a fun experience, and the Biznik networking event I attended dropped a lead in my lap toward a job I’d actually be excited about doing. Oh, there was also the fashion event at the W, where all the women were attractive and all the men were gay – that was a great evening. Much unintended hilarity ensued. I’ve got options to take a job at Aflac, Farmers Insurance, or Ameriprise, any one of which would be ok if all I cared about was the money, but if that was the case I’d just go back to electrical engineering. In the meantime I’m looking for a sales position with one of the many local Web 2.0 companies and dabbling in a few product ideas of my own. Two birthday parties this weekend and a going away party – I have no clue what my life will be like by the end of next week.

Sometimes I think I’m just maximizing my life’s variance. That’s not necessarily a bad policy.

My current Facebook status: “Niels regrets the things he didn’t do more than the things he did. But it’s getting PRETTY FUCKING CLOSE.” If the always-say-yes policy continues, the balance could tip any day now.

Oh, and it’s SNOWING!
