End of Interviews

In middle of interview today have cynical and depressing thought that much of life is spent in state of dread, even when in the middle of doing thing that have already dreaded. This thought hardly original, but is, at the moment, deeply felt. After entirely unsuitable interviewee leaves, try to expain thought to Libby. She says that she Doesn't dread anything. Can't believe it for a second, and feel that will be glad to see her gone. Last interviewee of the day is young woman from the Bronx who has very nice smile. Smile makes me think that everyone looks better while smiling and really ought to try it myself more often. Do try smiling and find that it makes me feel much better. Young woman also has professional attitude, is fully clothed, comes with glowing references, and even meets with Libby's approval. Remind self that in the future ought to not be so pessimistic. This new resolve shaken when read that world's fisheries are being briskly depleted. Smile.
