Confusion

So I have this job interview coming up, and I'm a bit apprehensive. The last two jobs I had in lab work made me suicidal and constantly irritated, respectively, and I don't really want to fail at it a third time. I think that this is different enough that I can succeed, and I also think that it would be good for me. It's close enough to home that I can get there if need be, but I'm not living at home. I mean, I love the parentals n all, but we definitely have some differences of opinion on the way I should live my life. I'm even willing to admit, privately to the Internet, that they're probably more right than I would care to give them credit. I probably, if I had the distance to see, would think that they were doing an amazing job of putting up with me. But I don't have that distance.

I tried to become someone else. I moved to Madison, WI, partially in an attempt to not be known as my father's son. One of the banes and boons of living in a small town is you are alwyas known by your relations. the "kinta" paradigm. Because he's kinta her, and she was kinta him until their third cousin's second husband's ex-wife got divorced. But maybe that was the wrong approach. Maybe I would have been better off not running, and standing my ground instead. It would be a new approach for me, that's for sure. Either way, I am where I am, and I have to pick up the pieces, and give a damn fine interview.

Test

This is more of a test, really. Had this been a real post, something potentially worthwile would have been said.

Again, this is just a test.
