Reality is for suckers.
Some updates on my life, since I've essentially been MIA for months. Fear not, I am stalking every single one of you as much as ever. I check up on you every day. And just because I don't comment, doesn't mean I'm not watching.
For those of you who don't remember about six months ago, Kara and I bought a new house. Shortly thereafter, I was given a promotion to "Front Office Manager" at a new hotel. I hated it. Before long, I quit without having first secured a new job. And I've pretty much been unemployed for the four months since. (And just as I had always suspected, it was confirmed that I really don't enjoy working. Being unemployed was one of the best experiences of my life. What did I do with all that time you ask? I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be.) But then last week, I finally started at a new job. I am now in the electronic component distribution business. I am a Sales Support Representative in the Strategic Sales Department for Sager Electronics. What does that mean exactly? I couldn't tell you. But it pays well. And I don't plan on ever working on weekends again.
Still, I feel like something is missing from my life. I'm not sure what it is exactly. I got an all right job that I don't understand, I own a house that is regularly being upgraded, and I even went out on a few dates with
a smart cute political girl. But I still feel unfulfilled. I've been listening to this song for about an hour straight and it sounds how I feel. I can't escape my every day. I can't have my mental breakdown. I can't feel overwhelmed. I feel like I'm missing out on life. Nothing interests me the way things seem to interest others. I wish something would. I want to feel passionate. I want my greatest challenge.
Last month, despite being as poor as ever, I took my first random trip in a while. I went to NJ and while the trip itself probably rated average to below average (and even seems to have lost me a good friend), to just get away for a while was exactly what I needed. It was a wonderful escape. I used to travel a lot more frequently and I'm desperate to get started again. With my newfound larger paychecks and weekends off, I figure this as good a time as any to start up with that. So, if you feel like having a random houseguest some upcoming weekend, leave me a note, and I'll make it a point to visit. There are some of you out there I would very much like to see, actually. I hope the feeling is mutual.
