Semana complicada

Semana complicada, a que passou. Não tive tempo para nada que não fosse relacionado com profundas alterações na minha vida profissional, que vai tomar, a partir de segunda-feira que vem, um novo e -- espero não me enganar -- aliciante rumo.

Como não há fome que não dê em fartura, em pouco mais de uma semana recebi três propostas de trabalho. Serei "vítima" da crise, mas não tanto...
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
