Daaammmmnnn, been awhile.
Actually made progress at work for the first time in a month today.
Harriet is sick.
Taxes are done (getting money back, say what?)

I'm putting off my taxes because I seem to owe $4000. Blast.
Hope Harriet feels better.

Tomorrow I begin my foray into the world of tutoring. I have three students, two Chemistry, one Spanish. Some of my Chemistry is a bit rusty so I should probably review my notes.

Is this the topic where we talk about our days?
My day was much like all the others when I'm not at my current job. And that, ladies and gents, is job hunting. My resume is continuing to reach the hands of Atlanta's best, and it is only a matter of time before I get an offer.
But the wait is terrible...

Yup, anything you want that happened during your day. iirc, last time fred would do nothing but regale us with stories of what type of bagel he ate that day.

Oh sweet. I spent most of today getting ready for a second round interview for a startup in Philadelphia called Venmo. I'm pretty much hinging on getting this offer so I don't want to mess it up. I also got to go to the weekly computational linguistics lunch/speaker series (CLUNCH) which is always nice. And of course an entertaining distraction in the form of Jeopardy! with some friends.
In more serious and irksome news I'm somehow letting someone control me emotionally again, which I vowed to never let happen again after my last relationship. It's really getting me down and I would just forget about it (read: her) completely if there wasn't an actual opportunity at stake.

Seth: What are you making?
Evan: I'm just drilling holes. Last two weeks, **** it.
I used my vacation time for the first time since 'officially' starting work last October on last Friday and today so that I could maximize my birthday weekend. While Saturday was spent with good friends, good food, good fun, and would probably make a better story, today was really just a day to relax before getting back to the grind tomorrow.
However, I did go to a Chinese buffet with my dad where I obtained a fortune cookie that said: "Everybody has a photographic memory. Some people just don't have film." I'm still trying to decide if the fortune cookie was taking a jab at me.

I finally have health benefits! Woop woop.
Well, once I decide between a pool of similar but distinct plans. But soon I can take vacations that don't result in me just not getting paid!

The most insulting fortune I've seen is this one, which my dad has received at least once.

"Now I will have less distraction." —Euler, upon going blind in one eye
This morning I woke up at about 8, after getting like 9 hours of sleep. Laid in bed til 8:30. Made scrambled eggs with cheese and sausage links for breakfast. Worked out. Decided with my brother that we were going to go to the Biggest Loser casting call next Saturday in downtown Chicago. Finished Season 3 of 30 Rock. Played Mario Party DS many times throughout the day, constantly losing on Kamek's library on the 10th turn EVERY SINGLE TIME! For lunch had an antipasto salad. For dinner had some...weird...creation with vegetables and roast beef...and meatballs. Had an interview at 8:00 for the overnight stock shift at my local Target. The interview was supposed to be last week but got postponed due to THUNDERSNOW! I, being a responsible human being and in desperate need of a job, showed up 15 minutes early. The interviewer was about 40 minutes late. After returning home from my interview my mother told me a "lovely" story about one of her friends/co-workers getting robbed. Posted this message, and will probably attempt Kamek's Library...again. I hate that place so much.

Went to work where I started compiling reports for the three programs that I semi-run for my boss. Made me realize that I could probably be doing a lot better, but a lot of the factors are also completely out of my hands. Ate lunch with friends, it was sunny but chilly/windy outside. Got undercharged for lunch- instead of 4.50 I got it for 2.75 since the lady at the register did it wrong. Awesome. Finished out workday with little else to report. Picked up my mom on the way home as usual and went home. Ate dinner, watched Glee, and decided it was the best episode they've had this season since Duets, which I was very excited about.
Started "planning" my lesson plan for teaching a workshop this Saturday to some of the high school kids I work with. I'm calling it 'high pressure decisionmaking.' I've run it once before and it turned out well, but that was with college students, so I have to tweak it a little bit.
Started thinking about what it would be like if I had been a year younger or stayed in college one more year. I feel like there are a lot of things I'm missing out on, but I'm also pretty sure I only feel that way because the vast, vast majority of my friends are all still in school and I also work at that school.

I watched my friends do this today, only on a much larger stage and in front of a lot more people. It was pretty awesome.

Not a big day event, but today I took a culinary risk and combined alfredo sauce with a spicy mashed up chickpea Ethiopian not-quite-sauce thing. It was incredible. I highly recommend any and all Ethiopian food.

Oh, I also saw Doc Hammer from the Venture Bros. while I was on a run today. That was fun.

Yesterday, I thought I was teaching some high school students about high-pressure decisionmaking, but I think I ended up depressing them over statistics about the status of higher education in our state. Oh well, we taught them how to dance afterward and it was ok. After that, I helped a few of my guy friends in a (similar but) different dance group prepare a Valentine's Day surprise for the girls in their dance group. All in all an exciting day.

I just woke up a few minutes ago and when I went to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and most of my tummy is gone. w00t!

Cyst near eye was removed today. The doctor basically yanked it off. It started bleeding profusely so he had to cauterize it. Much "fun" was had.

Went to see Thursday and Underoath last night (with Animals as Leaders opening yay!)
Then fourth party member showed up late so we missed all but the last minute and a half of Animals. We just drank sorrowfully during the second band. Thursday isn't really my bag, but they rocked it a little better than the album versions, but underoath was so immeasurably worse. Never go see Underoath.
Then we dropped everybody off and my buddy and I went to Taco Bell. That was the best part of the night.

I wrote a huge blog last night called "The Method." As far as I know, three people read it. And I only know this because they like'd it on either Facebook or Tumblr. What happened to the days of... commenting on things? Boo.
