I found a good use for the folder of info from the company I interviewed at… I used it to thwack a spider.

Worked well.

Also, I gave some consideration to the “fear of flying” I’d convinced myself I had… I’ve flown to Tahiti, Fiji, Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Honolulu, Maui, and Oakland… The only time I stressed was the Oakland trip, but that probably had more to do with the fact that I was making an emergency trip up to visit an injured friend.

Really, I don’t feel much more uncomfortable about flying than I do about riding as a passenger in a car or a bus… Too bad I didn’t come to this conclusion before I mentioned it in that interview, but it might not have made the difference anyway.
