Dawn's Digression.

Has anyone read The Secret Life of Bees? Amazon keeps recommending it to me, so I'm thinking perhaps I should attempt to read it.
I spend over an hour on amazon a couple of nights ago, just rating things I had read. I have no idea why I was doing that. But I was completely content. I added a least a couple of hundred dollars worth of stuff to my wish list. I suppose I was just zoning.
I still haven't finished Superstition. Last night I was trying to read in the living room, but the TV kept grabbing my attention. And then the book started talking about how things don't exist without perception, so I put down the book and started discussing perception with Michele. We pulled conditioning into the conversation, because she said conditioning allows us to arrive at perception, and I really wasn't sure how to argue with that, so I had to agree. Then we started in on how her perception of things could be different from my perception. For example, I said that I know what blue looks like to me. It's blue. But maybe she actually sees blue as 'purple', but it is called blue. Make any sense? Precisely why we confused one another.
I am beat today. Everything is fine. No drama. Nothing. Just a little tired is all. You know how it goes.
Today is Michele's birthday. For two whole months I get to make fun of her for being 6 years older than me. I enjoy it because I know it makes her crazy. I made her a chocolate sheet cake last night. Yuck. Too much chocolate. I'm just not the biggest fan of chocolate. I'd rather have some chips and salsa most days.
I am avoiding this stack of resumes on my desk as much as possible. One of my peers was just promoted, so I got myself another recruiter to support and I also support my supervisor now. *sigh* I've been so wicked busy. It stinks. Especially when I would much rather surf the net or blog.
A recruiter called me yesterday. I'm not quite sure where he obtained my information, but I think I will give him a call back. Maybe I'll do that now. I'm just kind of not in the mood to sound impressive. It's probably an agent, anyway. I hate agencies.
