Jan. 4th, 2006 07:37 pmSpent a grueling day today interviewing candidates for a new position we have created. Was really hard to see one person after the other non-stop for 6 hours.
Still, today was much better than much of yesterday, where I felt unfocused, unstructured and frankly, adrift, irrationally afraid of the tasks I had set for myself to accomplish for the day. Mysteriously, today, they do not feel so terrifying.

grinninfoole and I got into a really stupid wad of tension last night on our way to see sphinxvictorian and cirrussundog. Basically, neither of us thought about the fact that we didn't have the directions to their house. I assumed we would call them for directions en route, but for no reason I can fathom, waited for him to suggest that we actually do so. Meanwhile, he assumed that I knew the way to their house even though I had just noted that I didn't have the directions. End result? We both got to Brattleboro and neither of us knew the way and there was no phone cell signal. He got angry and turned it into I let us down, a behavior I think I had a right to call him on. Nevertheless, I had acted just as passively and irrationally, and I felt pretty dumb about it. We ended up having to hunt down a payphone in the middle of Brattleboro to get directions and then having a whole discussion about it in our friends' driveway. Talk about your crappy communication..... Lesson learned for me? Maintain vigilance in my tendency towards passivity. Take more responsibility for life.
