| schestowitz | I am checking all those options not because I am at a position where I need to find a new job. I usually get jobs easily, without even being required to undergo interviews. Over the years Google tried hiring me several times too... :/ | Feb 17 10:03 |
| schestowitz | Google no longer gives many perks to staff | Feb 17 10:03 |
| schestowitz | and some, like Gosling, are leaving | Feb 17 10:03 |

| schestowitz | Today I finally received my Organ Donor card. I planned to add myself to the Registry in 2003, but back then the process was complicated and even snail mail forms did not have the desired effects. I also had the 5th challenge of Mr. Fitness (situps). I think that I underperformed with 107 repetitions in 2 minutes because I took pauses rather than just do it at maximal speed/pace. | Feb 17 16:07 |
| schestowitz | I think I should get back to writing more about exercise. I am still an avid writer, I write a great deal, especially in my 20s... not just publicly but also private notes to people and noted to myself. | Feb 17 16:12 |

| schestowitz | > exploitation. If that job is rewarding and you land in a nice place it's not | Feb 17 17:39 |
