I have a potential lead on a job that I am qualified for. It's still biotech (which I wanted to get away from), but it's a much better role. I'm also applying for a plethora of biology jobs all over the place. Including at least one in Cuba (why not?), and one in China. I have decided to become more steadfast in my job search. Which is hard, because it makes me depressed, but I am trying, damn it!

Tomorrow a bunch of shows start. I am excited, especially since American shows are ending their seasons.

I forgot to do it yesterday, so it's a two-fer today.

Day 6 - A song that reminds you of somewhere
(According to popular lore, Dave Matthews wrote this song at my old college in Virginia. His wife attended there, and some of the lyrics reference the school. Dave performed free concerts there, once upon a time, alas none during my tenure at the school)

A song that reminds you of a certain event
(When I was in high school, I acted a lot. I got my first major role in 2000. My theater director was adamant that music play an important role in plays. For the production (which was The Children's Hour), he chose this song for the finale. I remember becoming obsessed with this utterly gorgeous song. Incidentally this was the beginning of my love for Ben Folds)

Can I just tell you that a job in biotech sounds incredibly awesome.

Including at least one in Cuba (why not?

You know, I've heard a lot of people who've visited as tourists say that they really like it there.

Does it? Maybe it's just because I've been working in biotech since 2004 (and my career interests lie in biomedical science), but I'm so sick of it. Sadly that's what my experience is in. And that's basically all there is around here.

I think it would be interesting, especially since it's a place that essentially is forbidden to Americans.

I'm sure that like most jobs, if you do it for a long time its bound to get boring. I don't know, it sounds better than sitting at a desk and doing paperwork all day.

I think it would be interesting, especially since it's a place that essentially is forbidden to Americans.

I think a lot of Americans see it like that. As for me, I've always wanted to visit as a tourist but my mom is terrified that for some reason the government will force me to stay there the second I step on land.

I'm not afraid of cuba but this certainly does not make it look like the happiest place in the world. it basically a good for tourists, bad for residents kind of place(at least in havana). not saying you shouldn't go because I can't really give a solid opinion on cuba since I've never been there myself, but the video is interesting nonetheless.
