A day to remember! It is indeed the day when I will get my very first interview in the business world. For the best or the worse, my life will take another turn today at around 5:05 pm. The result of the meeting in itself does not matter. It is more the consequence of the action. Yes I no longer look for a job in science. I no longer hope to pursue a career as a teacher or a researcher but I am changing the direction of my professional life.
I had a terrible swim. My shoulders are dead tired. I wasn’t even exceptionally fast. It is probably the consequences of the run up to Mt-Cootha. It is hard to resume such a hard run after a month break.

I won $29.10 at the Gold Lotto on Saturday. I went to see the movie, “Jumper”, and ate at Indooroopilly on Sunday. The movie was entertaining…It needs more depth but it is fun to watch. I will get my very first job interview in the business world on Wednesday at 5 pm. I smile at this idea… that is right, a postdoc working in the research area like me will get his interview with a business. Maybe that is all I really need…make the move and stop thinking like a scientist! there are many things I can do and apply my knowledge and my skills to. I guess a lot of people are making the same mistake: we all narrow down our path to things we are used to but in reality we can do many things in many different domains. I also booked my ticket to my next destination and I tried to rent a studio.
At the pool, a woman was very impressed with my finis underwater mp3 player and she was so amazed after trying it out. Paul, another good swimmer, tried it out as well. It is fun to make new friends with my fancy toy. Paul told me he will buy it for his Birthday on March 20th. It is quite expensive and I do not know if people would really invest $300 into a toy they do not use as much as I do. To enjoy music like I do, they would need to swim for a while the freestyle. Paul can easily do it though!

My blog has fully migrated!
Filed Under Daily
Everything is working just fine and to the rest of the world nothing has changed much. My blog has moved to a new home :). I am happy it went smoothly. It has a tremendous advantage now. It is fully portable and it is on a Debian system. Much more stable than my Asus laptop.

Moving onto Eno’s box!
Filed Under Daily, Nikon D200
For the next few months, I will be in transit without a fixed internet connection. I have asked Eno to store and keep my wordpress blog on his server. That would make my life much easier. I can update things from any internet cafee.

Cool Wednesday!
Filed Under Daily
I slept very well and had a nice swim after the hard recovery on Monday and Tuesday. A cool bloke, Paul, at the pool asked me about my finis underwater mp3 player. I let him try it and he said he might buy one for his Birthday. I knew some people would be interested in this strange device I wear.

Nice trip to SpringBrook!
Filed Under Daily, Nikon D200
In the end, we were 11 people at Springbrook at the same location. We lost 3 people at the beginning. They ended doing their own stuffs on the other side of the good location and they did a short tour and a BBQ. We had a lot of fun on our side and everyone enjoyed the trip. It would have been a bit better if all the tracks were accessible… more pictures.
I was almost in tears after returning the nice Toyota Camry. The only bad thing about this nice car is the color…nothing is perfect I guess!

Bad night!
Filed Under Daily
Today no more beers. I tend to drink too much and it disturbed my sleeping patterns…swimming wasn’t fun but hard. I was surprised with the speed though. I must have gotten better at the technique. I had the impression of being slow but my speed forced slow ass people to move away.
