The Week of the Wait

I thought I'd blog a lot more often this week, with so much time in my hands. Mostly, I've been lazing around the house, going out sometimes, doing some errands, and whatever goes into mind.

So anyway, the questions regarding my career hasn't all been answered. But at this point, probably only extreme circumstances or acts of God will probably lead me to being totally unemployed and having nowhere to go. Those who haven't heard what I've been telling almost everyone will have to wait a bit more until I am one-hundred percent sure of the plans for me.

I generally spent most of the week waiting for the answers that I want. I'm the ultimate "anything's possible" guy. It's a "Hope for the best, and prepare for the worst" kind of thing.

Nonetheless, I am getting the break that I've always wanted since starting on professional work.

Ok, so I've already given "the last day speech" in the office. What else is there to say?

On a personal note, I'd like to say that I could have gone on for years and years more than the almost-five years. I could have worked the eight-to-five, sitting in front of the office, barely half an hour's drive from home, with people and work that I was already familar with. I was at the point where I was gaining more friends, going out a lot more, and basically having the greatest time of my social life in a long time. And then it was one month after I handed out the letter.

In retrospect, I guess I was going out with a bang. Did you guys see American Beauty? "1970 Pontiac Firebird. The car I've always wanted and now I have it. I rule!". I was on cruise control over the past few years, and now I just switched to manual.
