On attend toujours
1 minute read
I've got a small interview this morning, I'm excited for it but I'm also nervous. I'm going to stop writing now and practice some interview questions.
The interview was average, it felt like they hadn't read any of my CV or cover letter. I wish I'd done a bit better with my "Tell us about yourself" monologue. Much to practice. I hate applying for jobs. I'm not qualified for any of these nor do I want to do any of them.
I had a lovely time visiting the museum with my cousin and her partner, then we went to hotpot and it was great.
So it's not all bad.
more conjugação
It's really spiraled out of control as a project, frustratingly so. All the more reason to focus on small projects asap. I'm redoing it with tailwind.css, hopefully it's faster to work on after this. I also want to make it look a little more boring, like a run-of-the-mill web app. It is so hard to get anything done, I feel disillusioned and hopeless. Oh well, the sun is setting and tomorrow it will rise.
how to finish something
I think it would help to write down my thoughts on where I fall short on this.
- Know, really know, what finished looks like
- Have a place for it to go
- Anticipate lulls, have contingency plans
- Create the smallest possible version of your idea
- Have a deadline
- Have an audience
Nothing's really changed since I last thought about this, but I find it easy to forget these things. Also I don't think I was keeping a journal at the time.
less conjugação
After writing the last paragraph I've realised I can cap off conjugação shortly. It is no longer giving as much as it takes.
what else
Another nice quote, from Journal of a Solitude, which I have nearly finished:
I remember Jean Dominique, old and blind, saying to me, "On attend toujours." I was under thirty then and she was over sixty and I was amazed to think that someone so old could still wait for someone so intensely. But now I know that one does so all one's life.

questions
- What can I dissolve, that might be lingering?
- How can I learn to wait, with patience?
