    It’s turned into a surprisingly rough day today.

    I had a job interview today that… Honestly, I have no idea how it went. It was the 3rd round with this company, and the other two went very well. This one was with the head of the department, and the guy was incredibly unreadable and cold. And I have no issue with people being cold – especially upper management – but it’s the lack of signal that’s really throwing me.

    At the very least, the lack of certainty about what this guy thinks makes me less certain I’d be a good fit in this place. But at the same time, he wouldn’t be the person I was reporting to, anyway.

    On the domestic side, my wife decided to go back to a vegetarian diet. She assured me this would be a gradual transition, and it wouldn’t immediately affect any of my routines.

    Anyway, she basically immediately turned around and told me she was eating vegan now, and started trying to sell me on a vegan pizzaria on the other side of town. Which… Not only did I just buy a whole bunch of chicken, but she doesn’t drive, so I do all of the take-out pickups. I’m pretty overwhelmed, upset, and, I suspect, angry. And it’s occurred to me that this is a recurring pattern: She decides to make a change, she tells me it won’t impact me at all, and then she not only makes me hear about every little thing she’s changing, but also needs me to change my shopping routines, and/or go well out of my way to facilitate her changes, and I’m getting increasingly frustrated by this pattern.
