Had a department meeting today - lots of talk about safety, goals, etc. Julio encouraged us to work weekends and holidays. Er... Haha. Went out to lunch with Josh, Alan, Sean, and Sal (a new hire from Irvine). Taco truck! =]
We had a farewell party for Steve Young, a director here. Seems like a great guy - didn't know him though. But they had delicious food: empanadas, dim sum, crab cakes, cheese and crackers, fruit, and the cutest little cakes and tartlets.
Came back and just talked and watched TV. Whose Line (!!!), Capture, Criminal Minds, Flashpoint...
T-6 (work) days until the poster session. Super nervous, have yet to start. But I have all the help I could want, and I'm excited!
I've been feeling a lot better lately. Still sort of nervous and unsettled and uncertain, but much better than the past half week or so. Just thinking about the future, in terms of career and just being in the real world... It just feels so unknown. I don't know what I want.
I was talking to Josh today about happiness. How all man really wants is happiness, but in his search for it, he substitutes all of these other things, like a career and wealth. And I feel like it's because people feel like there's no set way to happiness. But there *is* a way to wealth, which might lead to happiness, and so people keep chasing after these false gods in hopes of eventually obtaining happiness.
But there *is* a way. And it doesn't take any of our own doing.
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
~ Matthew 6:33
