the most important human skill

My biology teach in high school, Mr. Underwood, used to tell us that decision making was the most important human skill. According to him, the essential key to making a good decision was relevant facts. I'm pretty sure he mentioned this every single day we had class and it was on nearly every exam. (The really sad part was that some people would get it wrong.)

Regardless, lately I've been thinking a lot about decision making. For the most part, I'm not very good at it. Maybe that's not true, because in most areas of my life I think I make very good decisions. The process of decision making for me is pretty stressful though. I tend to take forever and worry a lot about the outcome. (Maybe this is why my heartburn won't go away).

The main decision that has been occupying my time lately is where to work this summer. It's only a three month commitment, but it seems like a pretty big decision. I was hoping to have a job offer and be done interviewing about 3 weeks ago. I have two offers, but I'm still interviewing for more. I'm hoping sometime soon I get an offer that I really want.

I don't have nearly enough relevant facts to make any decisions yet. Hopefully the facts come in soon so I can start processing other decisions. Maybe once I decide I'll even be able to concentrate on studying. No, I'm blaming that one on the weather. How can I be expected to concentrate when the weather forecast for the next five days is sunny and 60s?

About that, I really should go study...
