Time to Sell Myself

I sit in the study with my hands in my lap, eyelids drooping, looking about the room.

On the floor: disassembled hulks of hard drives from years past. It's time to let those go. On the lower shelf: photo albums arrayed chronologically. There's work to do there, and what about all the digital photographs we have? On the five shelves above: books -- real analysis, mathematical physics, algorithms, data structures, Forth, Java, TeX, statics, dynamics, structures, celestial mechanics.

The phone should be ringing any moment now -- a man asking questions about my background. I wish I could just talk about the books with him. I suspect that isn't what he'll be looking for.

Time to banish the droopiness. Time to turn my back on those shelves. Time to sell myself.
