| i prefer to call it 'thinking out loud', personally. It helps because i started doing comedy recently, so now its usually practicing that. or you could just say you're learning lines to a play or something :p |

| Unless i am specifically trying to convey an emotion, I usually look like that. In most of my family 'group photo at a party' kinda pictures, i definitely look... well drunk or high or just simply not paying attention. |

| If you have the training, I would suggest a headhunter or specialized temp agency. Not a low level office or labor temp, but one that works specifically with your trade. Experience is everything. For instance, I got my current job because I was on a 3 month contract that I got from an IT/Quality Ass... |

| I am forever amused when someone will do about 2-3 hours of work in an 8 hour day and than--in all seriousness complain they don't have time to do a new task. Some workplaces are like this.

| Honestly I feel that way about personal efforts. Things I used to enjoy like drawing, reading, or writing; I have things and ideas I want to do or accomplish, but when I have free time, I usually just end up wasting it. Besides, between work and school, sometimes I come home and just want to relax..... |
