Yeah. Big decision to make. And I need to make it soon. Anyone have one of those magic 8-ball things? Is there an internet version? I’m gonna go look. [ctrl+t - search "magic 8-ball"] Yep, first result.

Question 1: Should i take a year off before grad school and work in ___________ (kind of a secret)?
Answer 1: My sources say no.

Let me rephrase…

Question 2: I’m totally scholastically burned out and may possibly have the chance of a lifetime job; should I take the job and go to grad school a year later?
Answer 2: My sources say no.

Wait, does this thing only say that one answer…

Question 3: Do you only know how to say “my sources say no”?
Answer 3: Absolutely!

Ok. I am more confused than when I began…

Maybe I won’t leave it to a CGI Magic Eight Ball to make this decision for me. I’m gonna do it the responsible way—by flipping a coin.
