Two occurences

[cybermule]

This morning, I had an interview for a better paid techy job. Could take it or leave it really, in the sense that pros and cons are balanced, rather than in the sense of apathy.

Lately I've noticed that I really couldn't care less what people think of me. I used to worry when people picked holes in things I said, or were sarcastic. I'd worry that they'd think I was stupid, and I'd vigorously defend my corner.

Now I just think, fuck 'em. I'm not sure whether this is because I'm becoming more secure and confident in myself, or whether I'm just turning into an arrogant bitch.

Either way, I just can't be bothered to engage in it at all. Life seems too short.

The former. :-) Too many stupid people, too little time.

That's part of the problem - I'm just so busy these days that I have to focus on the people I really care about. Sometimes I worry whether that's cutting off potential new interests, but the plus side is that I invest a lot less effort in people who piss me off, I guess. I just don't seem to have any ego at all, except when it comes to people I know. Then I might actually care ;)
