"When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it."
"Every blessing ignored becomes a curse."
"Everything in life is an omen."
"Maktub." (It is written.)
~Paulo Coelho, "The Alchemist"
Those are from one of my favorite books. Hopefully, remembering these will help me decide which road to take in my career path. I am weighing all options and as of now, I don't have a clear decision yet. I just want a short and temporary one, so it would be easier for me in adjusting just in case I get the job outside the country. So 80%, I'd probably take the People Support job.

The Classic Star Wars Test
Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far, away... Strap on your blaster and fire up your lightsaber. Haven't you always wondered which intergalactic hero you were most like? Do you possess the same wisdom as Obi-Wan, renegade spirit as Han Solo, or do you tend to save the day like R2? Take Emode's Classic Star Wars test and find out!
Obi-Wan Kenobi
"If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." Truly the words of a confident teacher, you and "old Ben" share the calm wisdom of someone who's seen it all. You are probably the type of person who enjoys giving back to the community, whether by organizing the annual block party or volunteering time to help others.
You know you're not perfect and that's why being a mentor is so fulfilling. You can teach others about the mistakes that you made. Like Obi-Wan, you are an excellent judge of character — often recognizing aspects of yourself in others. You know how to teach life lessons without being preachy, and while you may not quite have the Jedi mind trick figured out, your honest conviction can be very persuasive.

Holiday Stress Relief
What doctors say:
"People need to have realistic expectations about the holidays."
"There's so much hype -- people feel everything has to be great, you have to get along with your family. Sometimes we expect holidays to cheer us up when having a tough year. That's not realistic."
"Many people try to do too much, try to please too many people."
"The holidays should be about making good memories."

This is one exhausting day for me so I crashed home earlier than usual. Earlier means the sun is still visible. Yeah, it's hot today. So, I'm imagining...
"Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lake snow is glistening. A beautiful sight. We're happy tonight. Walking in a winter wonderland..." I want some snow!
FIVE days before Christmas. Can you feel it?
