Interview, Sorting & Swapping, and My Nephew

Had my interview this morning. It went well, though I'm not really sure if it's my dream position. The more and more I consider it I'd rather live near Cleveland or Cleveland Heights, where as this position would require me to move to, if not nearer, Sandusky. If I were a Cedar Point fanatic, that would be a big draw... alas, I am not a roller coaster fan. Nonetheless, we'll see what comes of it in a few days I suppose.

Tomorrow I have an event that I'm attending to interview with a couple pharmaceutical firms for sales rep positions here in Cleveland. That could be a more exciting position, and allow me to live closer to Cleveland. My suit fits better than it did, though I think it could be taken in a bit more. Perhaps it's just that I need to get a smaller suit later on. This one is okay for interviewing in at least.

I'm going through my things that I brought home from Europe. I seem to have just collected ticket stubs and train tickets as souvenirs. That's alright by me. I need to take the journal I was using and start pasting things in to it as a way of keeping everything in one place. That or I need a shoe box to toss things in to.

Unpacked a couple boxes this afternoon and now my bedroom floor is littered with books. I have to divide them into separate piles. Those that I'll keep and those that I'll take to the Half Price Book Store and sell for store credit. Before doing that though I may consider listing them on SwapTree, as I'd like to start trading things with other users.

I found a list of yummy recipes that I need to subject all my friends to as well. These are things I picked up and learned how to make wandering around Europe. I'd like to plan a party some time in the near future where everyone contributes to the grocery bill and I provide tasty food for all.

I need to get to the new Whole Foods up in University Heights. Perhaps I can convince one of my friends from Case to let me take over their kitchen sometime soon, and then I'll pick things up there and cook.

Joey, my nephew, is amazing. He's going to be seven months old this weekend, and he's so entertaining. He's moving around - almost crawling! - and babbling. I can't wait for him to start talking. I swear he's the happiest baby in the world. Smiles from morning until bed time... unless of course he needs a nap or some mushed up sweet potato baby food. Otherwise he's grinning and laughing and making general baby noises. He's awesome in short. And to my sister's credit, she is an amazing mother.

I'm subscribing to The New Yorker.

OK. I need to do something with all these books.
