Very strange indeed. Do I really own this much clothing? What are these small "cat" things that make noise and expect me to do things, but are so very soft to the touch? Can I really spend all this time in the bathroom, and do more than the most cursory soaping of everything? Do I still have more chores to do around the house? (Yes.)

I realized yesterday that my fifth anniversary at Zillian passed unnoticed during the acroyoga festival last week. Five years -- amazing! It was a weirdly auspicious day at work, too. I had coffee with a guy who wants to transfer to my team, and he's perfect -- a senior software engineer (my level) with some leadership experience and also technical experience in the exact things we're looking for. When he transfers over, I won't have any more open headcount, and will be able to focus on something other than staffing, WOO HOO. I also interviewed a whip-smart young woman in the morning, a better interview than I've had in a couple of years. I strongly expect she'll be a coworker soon, and probably kicking my ass in a few years. Seeing these other people definitely helps motivate me to get my own ass back into gear at work. I've been a fuzzy-brained person with her head in acro-land for rather a while now, and I'm feeling more ready to focus on technical things.

Not that I'm planning to do any less acro. It strikes me that I always hated the saying "stay hungry, stay foolish" when it applies to businesses and careers, but it applies rather better to acrobatics, where "hungry" is a perfect word and "foolish" is going to happen anyway.
