Firstoff, I had this really cool post I wrote in the baggage claim, but the sidekick flakes on ocassion so I lost it.<\/p>\n

I am reminded of the song 25 or 6 to 4. But this isn’t insomnia. In 2.5 hrs I need to be out the door to head for registration.<\/p>\n

It’s been a long day…<\/p>\n

I performed an EGC mass today at the camp of the Golden Lotus. It went fairly well with a small number of attendees. At least I got to do the mass in front of the Bishop that I am training under.<\/p>\n

I know 2 distinct mistakes that I made. But I covered quickly enough. Thus my state as a novitiate. Ordination is still a ways off and requires me to accomplish some other requirements first.<\/p>\n

We had a great time at the church after mass. Heather took me to the airport and stayed with me for about half an hour. For the record, I really love her, very much. And she, I. She went back to the church after leaving me at the airport. I must admit I am holding a very small smidge of jealousy at bay. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The flights were flights. I had a 2 hr layover in vegas. I won $54 off a video slot after two spins. So money is coming in…<\/p>\n

Now, here I am. 2:37am… WWDC<\/a> kicks off at 10am (registration at 7am) and this is my big chance. Now is when I have to make it count.<\/p>\n

And I am nervous. I have resumes (of which I found a spelling error in the next to the last line in the activities area). I am worried that it was unwise to mention that I am an ordained deacon and novitiate priest in my activities area.<\/p>\n

I am hoping for the big prize. Mac dev in L.A. For a little more than I made at my last job. I’d be willing to manage…i’d be willing to do java… Sadly, I’m even willing to consider the north. But I wouldn’t be thrilled.<\/p>\n

I do (for the 5th time, albeit 3rd serious time) have a resume in at Apple.<\/p>\n

Life is weird and scary right now. Being up for nearly 22 hrs straight does that to you. As always… My spirits are what keeps me going. I just need to keep them up and stay positive.<\/p>\n

Everyone who’s been dropping notes and comments… Everyone who’s been asking how it’s going…. This has done more for me than you can imagine. As long as I can stay focussed I know I can land another job within 40 days.<\/p>\n

Above all has been Heather. She has been my light and strength and joy and happiness thru this. I love her and treasure her.<\/p>\n

Love to all who have been supportive.<\/p>\n

Wish me luck. This is the big one today!<\/p>\n
