Favorite Quotes:
from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close:
“Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I’m not living.”

When I got off the plane, after eleven hours of travel and forty years away, the man took my passport and asked me the purpose of my visit, I wrote in my daybook, “To mourn”, and then, “To mourn try to live,” he gave me a look and asked if I would consider that business or pleasure, I wrote, “Neither.” “For how long do you plan to mourn and try to live?” I wrote, “For the rest of my life.”

from The Unbearable Lightness of Being:
"We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come."

"Tomas did not realize at the time that metaphors are dangerous. Metaphors are not to be trifled with. A single metaphor can give birth to love."

from Everything is Illuminated:
This is love, isn't it? When you notice someone's absence and hate that absence more than anything? More, even, than you love his presence?

A lot of recalibrating and replacing failed parts. For the most part, my job is booorrring. The nostalgia wore off in a few days. Really, I wish cameras would stop breaking. Also, people are stupid. I get so many products that are corroded like people must have tried to take them scuba diving. Well, either that or a really dumb fix. Oh, I learned to properly discharge capacitors:) If not=pain!! Crying or Very sad I do play around as much as I can get away with, but it isn't easygoing. If I were to work full-time in most electronics jobs it would be almost impossible to maintain a home. This field is like that. That's why I want to switch careers.

What about you? Do you enjoy your job?

That is a seriously awesome accomplishment. I know first hand how hard it is to have the discipline you need to lose that much, but it's so worth it. I wish I had been smart like you and did it when I was in my early 20s instead of waiting until my late 30s, but better late than not at all I guess. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop
