What I've Learned In the Past Few Weeks
As usual, I have to apologize for another long stretch of not posting. I've lost most of my readers (all 5 of you, lol) and this has mostly become an online diary for my own enjoyment.
All that said, here's what going on in my world.
I don't know what the hell is going on in the stars, but for some reason things just went crazy this month. Late last month I was interviewing for job, that I have to admit I was not 100% sold on, when all of a sudden strange signs kept popping up that gave me the false sense that the world was trying to tell me something. "Take this job."
Needless to say, as the second week of October arrived, I had the dreaded "talk" with my boss and received some disturbing news that set my whole world into a tail spin...needless to say the next day I was offered the job I was interviewing for, but still had to pass a drug test, and background check before I would be officially offered the position. Let's just say its all in the timing...one door closes and another one opens.
Finally, after a long sleepless week and a long over due visit home to see my parents, I got the news that the job was mine. I knew in my head that this was not my ideal move; but in lieu of the situation at hand, it was an opportunity not to be passed up.
I finally got to do the thing that I had been waiting to do all my life...I quit my job, and told them my last day would be Friday. Having known that I was on my way out (if one way or another), I had most of my desk packed up weeks before. Honestly, I never really made my desk, mine. Nothing brought from home, no real decorations...nada. Just an editorial cartoon that said "Yeah, I hate this job, but I love the built in cup holder!" Pure genius, you gotta see it, its damn funny.
Anyways, I took a week long vacation to LA LA Land to visit a dear friend. I had a great time, despite the fact the LA is LAme! Yah, you heard me, lame. Just not happening enough for me. I did have several brushes with fame, and the paparazzi - thanks to Lindsay Lohan. But by Wednesday, I was ready to get back to my home and chill for the rest of the weekend.
Well here it is the closing of my second day at the new job. Today I was sent to a meeting 5 minutes before it started, and have already been put to work...thrown head first into the deep end. I guess I've learned perhaps, watch what you wish for. Here I was lamenting about not having a career or a real job. Now I have one and I'm not so sure that I want it anymore -- what do you expect, this is me we are talking about here.
The sad part is that its got me wondering, will I ever be happy. Do I just find fault with everything. Is it me or is it the world? I suppose I might die, and never figure that one out. But at least I asked the question!
So what have I learned in the past few weeks? I can't really pin point it yet, but I am sure there is some great life lesson in all of this. Perhaps, if you read this you might learn something from my trials...ya never no.
