Time flies...
Not sure when was the last time I wrote something here but recently I've been thinking about LJ and coming back to it because a lot have been going through my mind and I needed a medium to vent. But first let's start with work. One more person is resigning (that makes it 3 in one month, and including my manager that will be 4 people leaving the company since May). My now manager is panicking and trying to retain the ones left, including me. Long story short, I am very happy that she decided to propose to the CEO to increase my salary. Today it turned out that I get a large salary increase and a bonus. Long overdue, but I am happy indeed. It will help pay off loans and bills for Dad's new massage chair.. and my new Sony Alpha.
I got back from backpacking at Kearsarge Pass this Tuesday and I miss it already. The hike was strenuous and all the while made me feel like dying, but once the hard part was over, I get withdrawals. I want to go back out there and hike and see and smell things and meet people on the trails going through exciting times in their lives hiking the PCT or JMT. I told M that every month I want to go on vacation somewhere. It can just be 2 days. It can just be camping. But I want and need this. It helps me unwind and get my mind off of work and studying for a molecular exam (which, sadly, I have been putting off). Life is too short not to live to the fullest and see the things you want to see.
