Memo to myself: Do the dumb things I gotta do.

I was in continuous motion for over 12 hours yesterday, 6:30 to 6:30. I seem to be getting an awful lot done. I know some of that's hypomania from adrenaline, but I hope some of it sticks. I even bought foods and a vegetable steamer! More running like a mad thing today. I won't touch down at home until bedtime.

So it turns out I'll be significantly more employable at what I really want to do if I become brilliant at SQL. (This is not actually new news.) Unfortunately, I am pretty crap at the usual programmer development path of "just pick a project you feel like needs doing and start doing it." I need more structure, and other people with user demands, and I'm much more inspired by fixing and optimizing than starting from a blank slate.

Now off to PT and then a networking lunch and then an interview workshop and then a date and then home, with stops in coffee shops to find three jobs applicable to my experience. Current count: 0. Argh.

On the bright side, yesterday I had a chiro appointment and a shrink appointment and visited the WorkSource office and hit Goodwill and Ross for scads of clothes (16 lovely collared shirts, 3 slacks, and a tie, plus under-tees and socks) and had lunch downtown and worked in coffee shops twice and scheduled to see a bunch of people and bought a vegetable steamer and had dinner with sistawendy and bought grains and scouted a pet store.
