Non-linear accelerator

Wow! It's been about 11 months since I've made a post. Don't get me wrong, I've written drafts, and I have made posts on other sites, but not on this one.

Something else I haven't done in a while is make a post on scribd. I think I tried to post some music at one point but was unable to export a pdf document from Sibelius.

My life, I assume like most, does have it's turbulence. I am doing well enough for organizing what time I do have and finding activities that interest me to occupy it. I do have too much of it though.

Today I was interviewed for the position of short order cook for the south end diner. I'm not sure whether I got the job or not, or whether or not I want it, or need it, I've been unemployed for about 6 weeks, longer really, but it wasn't as noticeable while I was in school.

While researching interview skills I imagine a goal I'd had a one time to own a jazz cafe so that I might have a venue at my disposal. Perhaps it is a worthwhile goal? And if I get the job at the diner, I could very well be there a long time. Adjusting to the pace and space may take some time. The kitchen is small.

Anyway, that was this morning, actually nearer the afternoon.

This morning was very routine. I did well to accomplish that which I must to feel prepared, then I discovered the interview. While I waited for the interview I went through my lesson material. It was great to get playing so early. I've been taking it pretty easy all afternoon. I worked on a few song charts and played some video games.

I was looking forward to my walk with Kate, she was called in to work though and she's still there.

So what does the future hold? Mornings are shaping up nicely. Volunteering at the Dal Bike Center is pretty sweet. Practicing is really rewarding, and I might have a job soon enough. I think that will be alright. I'm not entirely convinced.

I was reading an article online about creating multiple streams of income by creating value. I know I've thought over my ability to create value in the past. I am coming to conclude that I am able to contribute in a way that does create value. Through my interests in music, and psychology, electronics, the wilderness, bicycles, food, love, optimization. It's easy to say, harder to prove. I guess I'll have to find an example to follow.
