Tomorrow I will run a little even though my foot still hurts. But I need to clear my head, at the very least. I woke up to two emails from my roommate. One to the school in general and one to me. He packed up all his stuff and left. I thought he was going for the weekend, but he decided to take off. I&#8217;m all shocked about it. It&#8217;s been an odd feeling all day.<br \/>\nThen I had to go in and get paid and talk to my boss. I didn&#8217;t have any answers for him, I was just as surprised as he was.<br \/>\nMy boss offered me a position for next year as well, and we talked a bit about that, told me to think it over and give him an answer over the next 10 days or so. I like the people, just the place is a mess. There&#8217;s nothing that can be done about it really. Most of it is attitude, and simple infrastructure issues. Until the Italian government pays to modernize the infrastructure things won&#8217;t change around here. That and the attitude of the people in the streets is a bit of an annoyance. So I will think it over and I guess in 10 days or so I&#8217;ll have a big announcement for all of you!<br \/>\nSpeaking of attitude, I got on the Circumvesuviana (local metro around Vesuvius), and there were conductors on there checking tickets. But they were only checking some tickets. I noticed they gave the most scrutiny to the guys who were clearly not &#8220;Italian&#8221;. So the Arab and African guys, the Romani guys, they asked them for tickets. They didn&#8217;t bother me. That was kind of upsetting. It was really upsetting actually, it&#8217;s just tiring to see the same crap everywhere.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s some musical goodness for your day, needless to say the hijynx on the Circumvesuviana did not help this area&#8217;s case in keeping me:<br \/>\n<iframe allow=\"autoplay\" class=\"youtube_embed_iframe\"    allowFullScreen=\"true\" style=\"width:640px; height:385px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z1fGD_gTxTo?autoplay=0&theme=dark&loop=0&fs=1&showinfo=1&modestbranding=0&iv_load_policy=1&color=red&autohide=1&disablekb=0&enablejsapi=1&version=3\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nHave fun, keep running, and remember; if Gil can run then so can you!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-915\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=915&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-915\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=915&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=915&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=915&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-915\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=915&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=915\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=915&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-915\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=915&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is a weird day man.
