it is so sad that i don't post more often. i really enjoy blogging.
since my last post i traveled to istanbul, turkey and greece for a little vacation in november and then i headed out to seattle for christmas and new year's. it was good times. i miss seeing my friends as often as I would like.
instead i work... somewhere in the 65-70 hour a week range. i don't find it to be challenging or rewarding anymore. i find it more to be tedious and boring. i applied for a new job at work. i didn't get it and so i applied for a different position which could possibly be my Pearson dream job. The day after i applied i was offered the job of "sales campaign coordinator" in my region which sounds like it could be fun and interesting for about six months. i am hesitant to accept. i want the west coast again. i want the rain and clouds over this snow and wind. i want long drives around sane drivers instead of these grumpy new englanders who act like they rule the road.
i hate it here.
if i stay i may just be due for a check-in in depression city at some point. not right now though. i am having fun here right now. part of me feels that i need to stay here to make my career into something more. the other part wants to run far far away.
this is kind of what i felt like when i was about to graduate from college and i had the choice before me of applying to law schools or digging myself into the the corporate hole of gluttony. obviously i started digging into the corporate hole. now i may just be digging deeper. tunnel to china anyone? i may make it there in time for the emergence of china as the world's next super power on the rate that i am digging. maybe not.
i wish i could be an independently wealthy nomad. tell the world that the corporate systems and the United States political machines are not for me and spend my days brushing llamas on the inca trail for a few months followed by lounging away days in the sun somewhere in the south of france. something like a perpetual eco tourist with a panache for some of the flair and fun associated with having money.
in other news... i fought off this cold for a really long time but alas it has caught up with me. :(
This weekend will undoubtedly be spent in bed with a lot of fluids and cold medicine.
