One year later, Rancho Cucamonga

July 5, 2023, Wednesday evening, 7:38pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Bakersfield, California, USA. I got the same room I checked out of yesterday morning. I wonder if someone stayed here last night? Probably not. It is a good room, so I am not complaining. Been thinking about this day last year. It was my final interview for a job in Rancho Cucamonga, California. A job I accepted on July 8. I ended up rescinding my acceptance to take this job. I am much happier with the choice. I would be burned out already and no closer to stability if I had taken that job. I am thankful things turned out the way they did.
