Laying next to a very small human who asks you to hold him as he falls asleep is one of those quiet joys that rate extremely high and are not talked about enough.
After that miserably failed presentation yesterday, Company 1 still wants to go ahead and wants me to speak to their CEO. If I want to proceed, that is. But do I want to proceed? I don’t even have anyone to talk to, besides the headhunter. I could well be making a massive mistake. Also, phone interview number 3 with Company 2 on Friday while I’m on a “holiday”.
I feel like I’m cheating, dating multiple people concurrently (while in a committed relationship with a partner who relies on me), and everything about this is wrong.
“That’s why the Pyramids are much more interesting to me than Stonehenge. A pyramid is a structure with an opening to an event outside. The light enters down the shaft only once a year and lights a figure of one of the pharaohs full on. Stonehenge is like siting stones; that is, you stand in it and you site the external events. In Egyptian structures, phenomena enter the space and actually make a lighting event inside. That space is sensitive to events from places outside itself and when an event occurs outside that you want inside, it enters the space and does something. It’s the camera obscura. In a way, the camera is the room and that’s really a sensitive space. Bunker architecture also is sensitive because this space contains an opening to look out to or to deal with the events, and then there’s a space inside.”
