Nothing like His Girl Friday….
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007 | General
Certainly, there can be no comparison of today’s complex high tech world to that of the 40’s era where men and women smoked, were able to drink gin without it coming from their bathtub and the fastest thing in the office was people’s mouths and not their hands.
I suppose this only reveals how sentimental and nostalgic I am getting in having to leave a place of work that had taught me so much, generated for me great experiences and created for me some wonderful friendships. It has also helped me realize those things in life that mean a lot to me. Such as a simpler working environment, simpler tasks to manage and a seriously simpler commute.
My current challenge is to decide on the type of “package” the company has offered me to take. I have two choices. Sometimes I wish decisions didn’t have to be so darn complicated. It’s like the Clash song, “should I stay or should I go” although if either choice is made I can only hope there won’t be any trouble.
I have already, in the 5 days that I’ve known I will be leavin this job, thrown myself into the arms of the cyber classified world. Applying and sending my resume into those jobs I could potentially see myself in. I guess I’m one of those people who struggle with idle time. It’s like I have to have a million things going on at once to feel sane, no matter how stressed I feel or keep wishing there was one less thing on my plate, I notice I create for me that state or urgency and therefore I create my own 
stress.
Hence I will work to decrease this in my life. I will take the time to enjoy reading my piled up magazines, I will walk to local coffee
shops and enjoy as many cappuccino’s as I possibly can and just take the day as it comes, with school to still occupy my mind, that
should be enough to keep myself as busy as ever.
