Worthy?

While I was doing my entering and processing at SAG, I had plenty of time to think. There are times when I think they'll find a mistake and tell me to leave. Or they realized, quite accurately, I'm not as fast as the others and ask me to leave. I guess I'm still baring some scars from earlier this month. Then again, I always felt like a fraud while doing IRB work. I'm good at pushing paper, but I didn't really care much about the content, though the occasional interesting scenario would come up. I obviously got some self esteem issues, but then again, I use those feelings of inadequacy to attempt to do well.

Still, I think the UCLA situation forced me to face the truth--I really don't belong in the IRB world any longer.

One more week of SAG then???????

This weekend I'm going out to UCLA to attend the LA Times Book festival. Wonder what that will be like. I spent a part of this afternoon daydreaming scenarios of what would happen if I encountered one of my former UCLA "colleagues" at the Fest. Well, it helped the time go by quickly.
