I just realized today that, with the two jobs and numerous vague plans that I have, I am ripening.
Reading my scant notebook entries from the last year makes me realize a few things. Mostly, that I don't write enough, which means that I am forgetting so much (even forgetting how horrible of a thing I think forgetting stuff is). Also, though, that I DO have time.
Sample 5-year plan is like...
10/1/09: Ripening, working in the food industry, starting to get more educated about stuff
10/1/10: Working in the food industry full time, making contacts with people doing the sort of stuff that actually matters, asking people how they make their way. Continuing to ripen.
10/1/11: Business school? Culinary school? Taking the extra step towards being competent/independent.
10/1/12: Maybe still in school? Maybe apprenticing? Feeling more solid.
10/1/13: Opening my own restaurant or settling myself into a thing where what I'm doing is the thing that I will want to be doing for a while.
Routines are things that cycle. Slurky slotta. Figure outta.
