Peanut Butter as Caviar

I'm getting tired of my body inflicting hunger upon me. Can't I just out grow these annoying things like having to sleep and eat. They take up so much time. Plus, I've already got enough storage that my body should be able to just shut up and leave me alone about eating more of anything for awhile. I even gave it a buttered bagel tonight. Give it a rest already!

I have a day off tomorrow. It feels that way even though I am pretty much unemployed and just coasting along in my own afterlife. It has been good being busy and having a schedule to stick to this week. I know I need that I just don't do very well at creating a schedule for myself, on my own. But, tomorrow there is no workshop. I did get a job offer today. I'm not sure about the facts, other than it is for some web content and general web geekery to get a site off the ground. I won't say much else till I have more hard facts. But, it would be a part time thing, a paying part time thing which is a nice step up from all the non-paying part time things.

Also, there is a really terrific job I am going to apply for. But, when I research the company and the other people working there (although as directors and assorted bigshot titles) I feel I am peanut butter in a world of caviar. I might stick around but I won't ever fit in. Still, the company is a non-profit (sounds like a think tank in laymans terms) and I would really enjoy reading about the ongoing projects they are thinking and researching upon. I had a look at what is mentioned on their website. So excellent! If I had gone a different direction in life I could have been one of the caviar types, thinking alongside the rest of the tank. But, here I am, just peanut butter.

Even peanut butter can apply though. I need to vamp up my domain and turn it into something like a writing portfolio. A real one not that pile of knicknacks I have tossed in it now. Not a very professional page. Way too peanut butter though fun.

Sometimes I feel really inferior compared to people who can build a computer with a few paperclips and a snippet of code. Yet other days I meet someone who calls me a geek and acts like I'm speaking a foreign language. I'm just your humble every day mouse swinger but I'm trying to be more. If I pretend enough maybe no one will notice the peanut butter on my fingers. Actually, the funny thing is that I don't like peanut butter and I never have.

Just remember that caviar is expensive because you have to squeeze it out of a fish, not because people like it. Nobody wants a caviar and jelly sammich.
