That's my job... and to provide myself with a distraction from the misery of MY days!
I hope all our days are not-so-miserable, and I hope we can find some good distractions anyway!

Surely, being as fabulous as you are, a misery day would just be impossible...you could just look in the mirror and be like, 'Oh yes, I am brilliant!'
I'm sorry you have them, and that everyone has them. I mostly deserve mine (like yesterday) but luckily today has been a bit better. Distractions of a good book, sewing, cleaning, pet cuddling, drawing and the news have been appreciated. I need less of a distraction and more full blown avoidance to get me through my days, if I stop working and moving I think and then it all goes wrong. Stay busy from the nerves and try to be exhausted enough to crash and sleep. It's no life really, just a way of filling time until the end finally comes along.
Sorry, again, bit off topic.
Your interview is beautiful, I'm proud to have met someone so clever and knowledgeable. I personally have never been interviewed for anything beyond a job, and find the idea that anyone would really care what I think about things, attractive but laughable. It must be a strange experience at least at first.
