Insecurity

It's the start of my third month out here, and I have to admit I've been feeling a little insecure. Not that I'm ready to give up or anything. No, not yet. It's too soon for that. I'm just feeling kind of vulnerable.

It also doesn't help that I've been having tension headaches again. And my tummy has been a little ornery. Probably from me stressing out. Again. Well, the tummy probably is. The headache might have something to do with me not sleeping well, not getting as much caffeine, and maybe sour neck and shoulder muscles from hunching over my computer keyboard a bit.

And it's raining still. I need an umbrella. And boots. And a job. I could go out in the rain, but knowing my immune system (or lack thereof), I'd probably manage to catch pneumonia or something.

Minor non-related rant...

I have the TV on in the background right now. It's on the History Channel. A Japanese scientist is talking about something, and they have someone voicing over his explanation in English. BUT, the English-speaker is talking with a REALLY REALLY bad Japanesey accent.

Dear History Channel - why the heck do you do this? I mean, honestly, we all KNOW that the person you have voicing over the explanation most likely does NOT actually speak with such a heavy fake-Japanese accent. Why do you insult our intellegence by subjecting us to this REALLY BAD fake-Japanese accent from this scientist? It sounds bad, no one believes it, it's rather insulting, and it's just stupid. You undermine the credibility of your supposed scientific expert. I mean, who can take his presented evidence seriously when he sounds like one of those actors in an old Godzilla movie?

Gah. Once again I am reminded why I don't watch programs on the History Channel much. I'm not one of those hyper-sensitive "OMG YOU RACIST COMMIE BASTARDS!" kind of Asians about this sort of thing, but I still find it mildly offensive.

*sigh*

Ah well, back to scouring the job boards.
