So I knew something was up when the inside of my head started to hurt. It was my neck and the back of my sinuses, and that sort of thing only happens when I get a cold. My stomach hurt a bit, just enough to give me nightmares all night. Some of them were interesting at the time, but I can’t remember them.

I confirmed my luck today by sleeping in and then having to take a 2 1/2 hour nap.

And more luck in the job hunt: a friend who thought he found a posting was told it was just a “place-holder” job description. And today I looked at a Deloitte and Touche web site and looked at the web sites of Oregon’s 29 top growing companies. Of those companies, only one had jobs I was slightly qualified for.

Well, so much for job kvetching. I think finishing a Master of Science degree made it clear to me that I am a screw-up and finding a job right now is even hard for the non-screw-ups. Time for another nap. I have to be in shape to watch all the football this weekend. If nothing else, having no girlfriend means not feeling guilty about sitting around watching sports.
