In 30 days from today, I will check out on leave for the last time after having been in the Navy for seven years. It's a frightening and reflective time for me, so I've decided to detail each day with a quick post.
I woke up early today, 4:45am and made coffee and ate a Clif bar. I interviewed for a job last week and submitted writing samples on Friday and they said they would get back to me early this week. Meaning today? I'm anxious about it. I have vacillated between being entirely sure they would offer me the job and convinced they would see right through me and never contact me again.
I got home from work early yesterday and took a nap. I'm working my way through Deadwood and watched a few episodes. I draped a heavy blanket across the window that faces the afternoon sun and blacked out the day. I checked my e-mail compulsively.
In anticipation of a gap in my dental insurance, I have been amping up my flossing. Up to twice a day now, and that's good for me.
My greatest fear is for all my bluster and pretense that I'm not that smart, creative, or talented.
P.S. Can you believe there's no AP Style Guide for Dummies?
