Non-Sequiturs

The new Facebook layout is seriously horrible. It is a jumble of incoherent babble that seems like a knee-jerk reaction to some perceived threat from Twitter. I have never seen such an intense reaction to this colossal blunder. There has been no positive feedback to the change at all. It is as if the powers that be at FB did no market research whatsoever.

I am currently on a contract job that will end once all of the documents we have been given are reviewed. There is one woman on our project who consistently increases the amount of documents she reviews even though she knows our project is about to end. We are assuming she does not enjoy receiving a paycheck.

When it rains it pours. I have not had a date in weeks, and then out of the woodwork come several offers at once. I feel rather special at the moment.

I was up for a job as General Counsel with a company and did not get it. Hard to say whether I am disappointed or not. Would have been nice to have a real job again, but not quite sure I was the best fit for the position. Will just have to continue looking for something else.

Lyrics Rattling Around My Head:

"The glow you see on my face, you do have something to do with
Fear starts creeping up when you have so much to lose
Your love wait you while you're cheating
Lighting strikes you when you're moving

Don't let me wonder away
I love you less now that I know you
Don't let the dress trick you
I love you less now that I know you."

Blonde Redhead
The Dress

"Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
On the tracks of a train
Set myself free again.

I have pulled myself clear."

PJ Harvey
Horses In My Dreams

"I tried to read between the lines, that you gave me.
I tried to be all that you never had before.

Don't let the last words I say to you be I'm sorry.
Don't wait too long til my heart fails, and so you can't find me."

Lake Trout
Last Words

"Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
And you vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today."

Interpol
Pioneer to the Falls

"A little rain's going to keep on falling on me
I'm going to keep on calling to you.

I'm on fire
Beside you
I'm on fire."
