Here we go again...
The time is about 12:38am and though I should be resting my pretty little head dreaming about penguins, maltese puppies, and pirates (all things good in this world...), I'm still up. I can't sleep. I tried watching an episode (or 2 or 3,or maybe 4) of Gilmore Girls, and usually by now I'm well on my way to knock-out-ville. Alas, I'm up and quite anxious. Tomorrow will be my last official day working at Caltag Laboratories (now part of Invitrogen...that is...).
I'm not sure if anyone still checks my livejournal anymore being that i haven't updated in about a bajillion years. But, what do you know... another pseudo life-changing event comes up and who do I turn to? Of course, I come crawling back to my blog. Let's just see who still reads this sh*t! hahaha.
So once again, I hit a cross road. I guess I could say it wasn't a very difficult decision to make but that would be a lie. As much as I wasn't completely satisfied with my current "place," Camarillo had it's enticing points. (Including and especially working w/ people whom i've learned to really really like and respect). Staying at the comp would have been the easier route. You figure that one builds ties and grows roots and/or a foundation with their company, it'd be easier to stick to it i guess... Plus, i wouldn't have to go through the stress's of resume building, interviewing, and the unshakable feeling of, "MAN, why doesn't anyone want me!!!" I chose to leave, and am all the better for it. But trust me, that decision was more difficult than i thought. A little more than a year ago, I was confronted with the idea of uprooting myself and moving to the bay... It's been difficult at times. (still is quite frankly), but I wouldn't have changed that decision for the world. Right when you think you find stability, the MAN comes in and whisks the rug right from under your stiletto Aldo's. Hell, even crazier than "THE MAN," A few years ago, I never imagined my life to be what it is today. THAT is by no means a complaint, just a commentary on how unpredictable life can be.
You know, my past company (begins with an I, ends with an X, and rhymes with NIGHTSHIFT), undoubtedly ranks as one of the most horrible positions one could get after college. But look!, it was my stepping stone and I met some incredibly awesome people along the way. But I cried like a little girl when I left! I've already gotten a little too wispy for my own good with CalT. I know I'm a baby but man!!! I think I just get really attached....really easily.
So here I go again, off to something new, hoping it'll feel like a home sooner than later. Wanting to make some sort of difference in the world even if it's brightening just one persons' day, life, UNIVERSE! Wish me luck kids. Let's see how this goes =P
PS...keep in mind, it's late. I'm really tired and I just can't seem to get that hamster to jump off her wheel! In other words, please excuse the rambling.
