It must, I think, be admitted that the most intelligent young people in Western countries tend to have that kind of unhappiness that comes of no adequate employment for their best talents.

...

Cynicism such as one finds very frequently among the most highly educated young men and women of the West results from the combination of comfort with powerlessness. Powerlessness makes people feel that nothing is worth doing, and comfort makes the painfulness of this feeling just endurable.

-Bertrand Russell, 1930

The ConQuest of Happiness

Is this to read you heard news about the job you were going for?

What's the word on this? Didn't hear how your presentation went last week.

no, I haven't heard on the job I am going for - last word is I did the presentation and three other interviews and met half the people there and they were going to check my references and get back to me.

In any case, my last day at the Caravan Shop is Wednesday, January 18. I am working on lining up a consulting project to start the 24th if I haven't been hired by then...

--I think my presentation went well, and I think the rest went well, and we'll just have to see.
