Cold Comfort for Change

My laptop, which crashed sometime last fall, previously revived (thanks, brother!) has now just been reunited with the recovered files on a portable drive. My Itunes are playing, on my laptop, it's a cause for celebration.

It's also time for news. I guess I just decided it was time to make some. As of this Friday I will have worked at my job for three full-fledged years now. I'm pretty much tired of being overwhelmed all the time and always needing to get more done, so I decided it was time to move on. The announcement has been made, and it's been a little tough to think of leaving this place that's become so close to my heart over the years and all the great people that have come with it - but it feels really freeing.

That is, until I think about figuring out what I'm going to do next. Fortunately the transition is going to take about 2 months, so I have a little time. But I have to think about it. Stay in nonprofit? Going back to school might be nice, but it's not shaping up to be an option for this fall. Start a restaurant. Hmmm that might be too expensive. If only there was a way to live but not work but be productive. I'm thinking I'll stay in non-profit... but time will tell.

We got goldfish at our house, too!
