a minor heatwave Now with school over I am amazed at all of the free time that I have once again. On the one hand I don't mind it being that way, but I am also painfully aware of how much I need to find another job. Without school giving my mind something worthwhile to focus on while I am at work, I get lost in the departmental complaints and usual nonsense that I can't stand. The words stagnant and petty keep echoing in my head. To this day I am still convinced that learning in a college environment moves at a much faster pace than in the business world. Then again most businesses strive to maintain a level where they have to do as little effort as possible. Once something works for them they don't like to tinker with it. Now I know that this is nothing new from me, but I still have to mention it from time to time to keep myself motivated. Quite honestly I am not where I should be in the job market. I get paid well enough, but I could find something that pays even better and has more meaning to me. The only problem is that I have to balance my effort to get ahead or getting out of where I am now with my going to school and my desire to have fun in life. Hopefully school will be part of the solution and make my investment in it worth my time. Still even if it doesn't happen in the spring, I am not going to kill myself over a job. It isn't worth it to me. Australia is going to happen whether or not I get a new job. ... For the first time in over a week, the temperature got above freezing and I enjoyed it while I could. However from they are saying with the weather forecast, it'll be gone by tomorrow though. ... Ann and I have been getting along well for the past two days. We seem to have reached a new stage in our friendship. Things haven't changed that much, but we do have a certain kind of comfort level between us that wavers every so often. ... Even though I bought the book over a year ago, I am just getting around to reading All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. I am hoping to finish it before I go to see the movie. As to whether or not that happens has yet to be seen. I have a feeling that I'll be seeing a quite a few movies during the winter break just so that I'll get out of the house instead of work being my only social outlet.
