Last night my daughter and I worked on the likes and dislikes list. It was more of a game than anything. I feel a little guilty about involving her since it could possibly be construed as "coaching" her for her upcoming interview, even though that wasn't my intent at all. It was just confirming the things I already knew, but needed to put in writing to tell myself I wasn't way off base.

When I went to bed, all kinds of things started running through my head for the "what I do better" and "why I want more time" but I didn't write them down (since I was trying to fall asleep) and of course now I can't remember a lot of it.


I keep picturing "him" when he goes in for his interview - with his perma-grin even when he's saying nasty things, and his flat affect even when he's discussing his kids and should be able to display at least SOME emotion. Instead, he keeps a sickening composure. I hope one of these days his calculated calmness bites him in his ever-widening ***.
