Monday I had a job interview. I have to admit I was nervous about the whole experience. I've had enough interviews to know what to expect, but you want to make sure to give off a fair honest impression of yourself. I figured I could memorize some answers or just react to the situation and share accordingly. I opted for the latter and it went very well. I should hear back on Wednesday if I was a good fit.
I watched the Patraeus Report on Iraq today. There were many protesters who made a scene at the briefing. I can't decide if I support them or feel that they are hurting the cause of ending the war. All I can say is that I was on their side and appreciate that they are willing to express their free speech and let the world know that people are angry and for that I understand where they are coming from. So we are getting a "token" withdrawal, now it is time to see if our elected officials can do what is right and go forward with a "responsible" withdrawal of US troops.
I was thinking about something Dawn has said on the NBC Nightly News when she was doing an interview about the documentary. She said she tries to surround herself with good people. I think that is such an understated practice. I probably attribute all the success and happiness I have found in my life from picking the right people to surround myself with. Whether it be smart people, people with good hearts, sincere people and social people, they all influence who I am and what my goals are. You learn so much by looking at what those around you are doing.
I spent part of the day looking for ACL tickets. Ericka and I are hoping to find two saturday tickets for face value. Hopefully it all works out. I need to start listening to the bands playing to figure out who I like.
too much too soon
