Soetimes the job hunt isn't the important thing...
I woke up today with no motivation at all, and great difficulty mustering the energy to get out of bed. So I got a late start, fiddled around with some errands, and barely got any job-hunting work done. I did check the Santa Clara County employment site, and saw a position that I qualified for- with twenty minutes left before it expired. Fortunately I had an application on file with them, and managed to get it out in time- hopefully somethng will come of it.
After that, it was evening, and I saw that the rain had given way to spectacular cloudscapes (I love living in a place with actual weather), and so I decided to go for a late afternoon walk. This time I decided on the uncertain perils of Sunnyvale, and took a walk along the Bay park. On one side was the freeway to Milpitas, on the other a seasonal wetlands, that had something like twenty, count-em TWENTY snowy white egrets, doing what egrets do...which is nothing except look beautiful. I walked far enough to see the actual bay (unimpressive in this area), saw a bunch of ducks and a blue heron flying away...and something I 'm sure was a small otter swimming in one of the flood control pools.
And for once I had long horizons- THere were no trees or buildings blocking the sight lines, the rain had swept away the smog, and the mountains were crystal clear under the dramatic lines of clouds. I could see Mt. Diablo, even, far off in the distance on the horizon, what I'm certain was Mt. Tam, looking misty and mysterious.
All in all, it wasn't that bad a day.
