I can tell you something which makes me unhappy right at this moment. I noticed the following paragraph in an article in today's New York Times:

'As the ed*i*tor of the Mod*ern Love col*umn for near*ly a dec*ade, I have sift*ed through rough*ly 50,000 stories that have crossed my desk. I have no*ticed peo*ple wrestling with two ques*tions above all oth*ers. From the young: “How do I find love?” And from those wal*low*ing through mar*i*tal mal*aise: “How do I get it back?”'

So evidently, even though I'm 49, I am dealing with a young person's issue. That doesn't make me young. (Ha ha) It makes me a loser.

I found out the great new PT job I will be starting soon (this is one that I have been trying to get for over 2 years because it's office work, in the very early hours of the weekend and I get to work completely alone) is MUCH further away from my house than I thought it was. While I was driving there and realizing how far away it is, the person who assured me the location was close to me was sitting beside me in the car constantly talking about how I should have done my own research beforehand. She was making a valid point that I shouldn't have relied solely on her word but her main objective seemed to be absolving herself of any blame. Not only that, she just went on and on about what she would have done had it been her applying for the job. Made me really irritated that she showed no sympathy or compassion and didn't know when to shut up about what should have been done after it was already too late. Sometimes some people just use up all the energy I have left for them and I can't deal with them anymore at least for the rest of the day.

It didn't happen today, but a couple weeks ago I accidentally blew up our oven... :idontknow:

The cake I was making was burnt so I couldn't eat it. :sad:

I’m bummed about Hoffman. I caught it out of the corner of my eye on the ticker and hoped that I read it wrong.

It’s such a huge loss.

This white guy in my class was going nuts. He kept cracking his neck and flipping his head from side to side rapidly. Yet I didn't see anyone staring at him like they do me. Even the professor stares at me when he speaks; I'll gaze up and see him lecturing to me before turning to lecture to the rest of the room.

^that's bizarre. I also get unwanted attention at times. I wish I was invisible so nobody could care less about what I do.

What's bothering me at this moment is, feeling like a loser. Writing about unemployment in another thread brought me in the dumps. I thought about the past and how it screwed up my life today. I know, I should stop thinking about the past and stop comparing myself with others!

Happy: got my workout in right after I woke up, and had a healthy breakfast.

Unhappy: super embarrassing moment in class today, felt like I just wanted to die.

Found an article. This is stupid. Why would anyone sign off on this kind of dumping on a very, very fragile ecosystem? Absolute madness.

The argument that the authorities give is that the dumping occurs where there are no coral reefs, just sand, silt and clay. They also apparently looked into alternative sites, but they stuck with Abbot Point, because other dumping sites weren't as efficient.

Of course, environmental groups are angry about it. They argue that dredge spoil can travel up to 80km in the water and will affect the marine ecosystem, possibly having adverse effects on tourism as well.

I just happened to be researching this issue for a later oral presentation.
