flexagonI got a recruiter-type phone call today by a guy who works for Colubrid's mortal enemy, TreeJuice. I haven't had a recruiter call me in ages, so I called him back and led him on -- god, I am a bad, bad person -- I got him to basically promise me the moon and then dropped the name of my college into the conversation just to hear the ripples. Plink ripple ripple ripple. I felt exactly like I did in the one year in college when I flirted just to be mean, when I was 19. I have not the slightest intention of moving to the boondocks in the Southwest, or of moving to the other side of this ridiculous war between the companies either, but... well... I was having a bad day and it sort of helped. Then Dan the Cat caught me in the hall to ask me if I'd be a reference for him, and that is how the recruiting karma caught up and smacked me a good one. I guess maybe I deserved it.
Weird day today. Kind of a malaise or an edge hanging over the whole thing. I was going to stay late at work and then take the hard yoga class, but ended up leaving early so I could take the easy yoga class. A much less hardcore day than I was planning. I did get a couple of small chores done at lunch, and that was sort of cheering, that even on a malaise-ish day at least I got something done.
By the way, I've discovered something physical that I want to work on: doing a backbend (wheel pose, bridge, whatever, a normal backbend) and then removing one hand from the floor to bring it next to the body. I tried that and just couldn't get the weight out of either hand -- the mere thought of unweighting either hand was really scary. I don't have too hard a time picking up one leg to point a foot at the ceiling, but this is a different story. Damn, I wish I could do that. Such a simple-sounding thing... pick up a hand. But it's hard!
