Dear Diary,

There's some maintenance work going on at home today.

Today is the day of the blasted discussion group. I'm kind of excited to see the tall irish woman there, she seemed really nice - she seemed clever and she shook my hand. I am very shallow at what criteria makes someone attractive to me. Maybe she reminds me of that philosopehr I met at the conference years ago...

anyway. I'm doing some job applications right now. Need to make the most of my time. I'm not doing so well lately.
