I think about my career, too. However, I think in terms of that I need to put myself out there to make social connections (this is reality). However, I am still hopelessly romantically tied to the notion that there is a divinity that is going to place me in front of the people I need to meet and connect with in order to do the work that I am supposed to do. People who think like your "smoothie" kind of creep me out.
