I woke up feeling very, well, leonine this morning. As I was falling asleep I dreamt about living back on Vancouver Island. As dreams tend to be things were a little misplaced - bits of Victoria and Duncan were mixed up. In part of the dream I was living with Ivana in the house I grew up in. That was very pleasant :-)

Well, so endeth the day. Some corporate headhunters saw my résumé on Monster.ca and I have an interview with them tomorrow. Fingers are crossed, but the unfortunate truth is I may have already applied directly with the people they want to place me with. That would suck. Perhaps a strategic omission of information might improve my chances with the job I most want. But then again I don't want anything coming back and biting me in the ass, either.

Why didn't I just open a coffee shop?

OK, now for a real entry...

I'm so bloody bored with my life. Tomorrow at 2pm I have an interview with some IT headhunters in a effort to find a gig that will let me stay in town. At the moment I am really wishing I hadn't wound up in a career in computers, and doubly regretting that I have painted myself into a corner with my specialty. I've got three career choices right now:

1.) Take something not-so-perfect here in Vancouver and hopefully end up more employable as a result,

So here we go. May as well join the club.
