So the interview. Yeah.

I. Don't. Know. I shouldn't look to others for guidance. Guidance comes from within. I'm zen. Whatthefuck.
It was just a weird goddamn day.
Then I got on the seabus (did I mention earlier that when I came home after my interview that Michael was on the same bus as me? It was so weird. I was like "hey, do you want to go for dinner?" and he was like "no, I have to go to work now" - he had just come back from a Microsoft seminar downtown) and the seabus was late. The seabus is never late. It was unnerving. I was wondering why it was late. Did it almost run into one of the freighters in the bay? Did it get into an altercation with a German sub? These are things that I need to know.
What was my point? Oh yes. Then I got off the seabus and decided to walk up Lonsdale like normal and I was taking a picture and I could see someone coming up behind me (hey, when you're 5'6.5" and weight 121lbs you tend to take stock of your surroundings as I have had a few incidences where people have picked me up and moved me around against my own volition which is a bit disconcerting) and I pulled my headphones out of my ears in time to hear a guy say to me "it's a bit irritating". So... okay.
I say "what's irritating?" and it takes him a while to respond and I assess the situation and he's a super good looking construction guy who is obviously pretty drunk and wants to have a bit of a chat and I don't want to stay in one

So I'm really trying to motor and eventually I no longer hear the clanking behind me and then I cross Esplanade and bam! there he is and he looks a bit mad and a bit forlorn. JUST what I'm looking for and I'm thinking how much it's going to hurt when he smashes the claw of his hammer down on my skull which I know he won't do cause he looks like a super nice guy who has simply had too much to drink, but now he wants to prove a point so he tries to walk in front of me in an expedient manner except that he's kind of all over the place and isn't as fast as me, so I slow it down and let him make his point and he turns off on 1st or 2nd and I continue up Lonsdale, checking over my back every few minutes.
Kinda weird. I felt bad. I mean, I'm sure he's great guy, but engaging in conversations with drunk people (when I'm sober) on a Wednesday night just isn't something I'm entirely comfortable with.
Was that my point?
I don't know what the fuck my point is.
I'm kind of despondent (as the post of this blog indicates).
A lot of strands in old Duder's head.
