You know, a nicely worded rejection letter that informs me that they wish they had a second position that i could be given and that I was a massively qualified candidate, does surprisingly little to mollify the disappointment that comes with losing out to the husband of a member of the selection committee.

That's unfortunate.  Though, it seems like quite a few companies have rules against hiring family members.

My East Indian boss asked me last night what "Freaky" meant.  Evidently one of the workers told him something was Freaky and he called later to ask me.

And he asked for me when he called, makes me feel good in a way, he must like me.  Really, really like me.

Yup, basic thermodynamics at work, NOT learning requires less energy. 

And it's also a lower energy state to be NOT thinking about any future return on investment in learning.

So really, people trying to better themselves are just unnatural freaks, going against the laws of nature.

Learning is hard and stuff!
