Desperate Cry for Help
Once again, I am bored out of my mind at work. It was looking up a few weeks ago, but my workload has slowly trickled down to almost nothing. I have two things to do (granted, I need to do these two things on 9 servers, so it'll take at least a day or two), but I can't do them until networking finishes running some cables for me. In the interim... nada. Zip. Zilch. I've asked my team lead, and he's got nothing. I'm about to go to my manager and/or partner. Something has to change.
Something I've been thinking about for the past few weeks and would like to bounce off of y'all: I'm thinking I want to move back up to Cleveland. I'm currently in the process of figuring out if I'm really not happy down here, or if it's just because I've been so bored with work lately. I'm trying to leave the boy out of the equation, as I don't want to base a decision on that and then have us break up.
Although, really, let's say that the boy is at the bottom of why I want to move up there. Let's say that I actually do (I don't even know if it's possible - with the economy still being slow, it may not be possible for me to transfer up there). Let's further say that we break up. It's not like I'd be trapped in a city I'd never otherwise live in where he was the only person I knew. I'd be in a city that I knew and, yes, even liked. Yes. I like Cleveland. I know I'm a freak, but whatever. And while most of my super-close friends have moved, I do still know quite a few people up there. Some of them are still in school and, thusly, may not be there in a year. However, some of them have jobs and are still in the area and probably will be for the next couple of years. Plus, I'd meet people through work and whatnot. I'd also be able to get more involved in the sorority alumnae board again, since I'd be local.
And, of course, I'd be a shorter drive from my family... not to mention Wendy and Joanna, so I could see all of them more.
The annoying thing is, I don't have one or two major good reasons to leave Cincinnati for Cleveland. I do, however, have a bunch of little ones. The question I have to ask myself is: do all those little ones add up to enough of a big one?
If we include the boy in my logic, then, yes, they definitely do. But without including the boy... well, it's close.
I'm very tempted to say, "well, since it's so close, it doesn't really make a difference, so why not?" But it's a big decision, and for some reason I'm really nervous about taking that sort of approach to it (although it's not like there's anything wrong with it necessarily).
If anyone has any deep and insightful words o' wisdom... bring 'em on, yo. :-)
