May 11, 2011 Day 2 in the real world. I awoke hung-over but satisfied and amused by the colorful Toucan staring at me from my drunken purchase. I had a renewed resolve to exercise as soon as my headache dissipated. Other graduated roommate yells – There’s a lunch special at the Highlander, 5 bucks for a shot and a beer. I repeat a shot and a beer. I did not exercise; we left at 12:33 pm. The drinks, atmosphere, location, and mixture of arcade games and pool were terrific. The extreme summer heat and day drinking made for a very unpleasant surprise upon leaving the Highlander. We then decided to spend $5 on two bottles of wine at Trader Joe’s. It’s just too good a deal.
I applied for one more job and researched the company for my phone interview. It appears that I am woefully unqualified for the job. I do not have two years of programming experience or a keen interest in financial markets. Regardless, the interview is still on.
I spent most of the rest of the day sitting under the one of the four functioning air conditioning vents in the Cabin. For the old people, I surfed the web. For the young people, I trolled the internets. I read up on some webcomics, read the news, and watched Dragon Ball Z on Hulu for the enjoyment of 10 year old me. The dubbed version is far superior, as the original Japanese has the main character and savior of the world speak like a woman or pre-pubescent boy. The sound is simply irritating and detracts from the story and appeal of the main character who should be the manly man that he is in my memories. I thoroughly look forward to watching him power up for a full 3 episodes.
I now have two things I must do tomorrow. Rock this phone interview and drop some things off to the girl taking over my coffee shop. It should be my busiest and most productive day in the real world yet!
