It's been a month to the day since I left my old job. I have put in four weeks at my current job, and time has flown by. I feel so much less stressed out (even though I realize I'm a bit bored today) and upbeat, and I'm remembering what a ball of energy I am when I'm feeling good about things and feeling like people actually care about what I have to say. It makes me try harder and makes me care about doing it right, about my work, about everything.

So hurray for leaving my old job. It was a great decision. I absolutely did the right thing and I have no regrets.

(This is in part why I hate listening to people complain, because when they complain I want to give them ideas about how to fix the things that are making them complain, and then they think I'm irritating. It's just my way, though: change the things that make you unhappy, if you can. I do provide sympathy when needed, though, because some things make you happy and they can't be changed.)

To entertain you: why people read email wrong (lack of emotional input) and good design for cats.

First, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy appears to cancel the risk of suicidal thinking or behavior associated with taking antidepressant medication for adolescents.

Second, how you argue with your spouse can determine how likely you are to have heart disease (or something like that, basically if I keep it pent up, I will die).

Third, friends with benefits also come with stress, though it's not about what I expected.

Fourth, Marcel Proust liked watching caged rats get stabbed with hairpins. (And someone else who is getting ready to plunge into Sodom and Gomorrah besides me and [livejournal.com profile] grahamsleight - it does feel lonely reading this book at times.)

Finally, 9/11 is over - it's time for 9/12. "You may think Guantánamo Bay is a prison camp in Cuba for Al Qaeda terrorists. A lot of the world thinks it’s a place we send visitors who don’t give the right answers at immigration. I will not vote for any candidate who is not committed to dismantling Guantánamo Bay and replacing it with a free field hospital for poor Cubans. Guantánamo Bay is the anti-Statue of Liberty." I like that.
