today i got a job offer. it's at a local architecture firm that's about a mile from my house. i'm getting the money i asked for. they seem like nice people and i think it will be a challenge. yet not so much a challenge that i will loose myself in it. you may or may not know that i get very absorbed in things and then i fret and worry and stress and end up completely unhappy. just ask e...he knows this routine. so i decided years ago that i needed to be in a place that allowed me to still have my life and my sanity.
this job probably isn't an ideal career move but let's be honest i think careers are overrated. sure they look good on a resume and make your peers jealous but when it's all said and done i just don't care. i want to pay my bills, make the most money for least amount of work, feel good about myself and actions at the end of the day and have some fun.
my goal this days is to earn some money and get out of this hole that we are in. that would be the semi post-band, life in limbo hole. the hole that keeps me tied to this place...i mean that both figuratively and literally.
and hopefully i will still be able to dabble in the graphic design stuff, get e into school and then we can cross the self-employed bridge in the future.
so there. i'm not going to finish my time out at the capital and that makes me sort of sad...but not sad enough to take away the worry that i've had lately. i'm meeting with the new folks on friday to cover a few more questions and then i think the deal will be sealed. in the meantime i have to tell super nice charlie...and i'm not looking forward to that. he is going to be disappointed and i don't like make people unhappy. sigh. but i think i'm just taking the band aid approach tomorrow. just rip. don't pause. don't think about it. just do it.
hopefully this is the end of this saga. maybe now i can get back to worrying about everyday things.
