this about sums it up...

I'm a fan of gapingvoid.com. Even more so now that he moved and is blogging/drawing from West Texas.

I feel the need to print and hang this in my cube so I can stare aimlessly and ponder when i'm having one of those stress/chaos/panic! moments. It sums things up quite nicely...

place

it's all falling into place.

in fact, I found a place to live.

so now, much of the anxiety has subsided, and i'm as excited as ever to move.

it does help that they've sent me flowers twice now, and G sent my passport and I should be good to go by noon. I've met several more people, remembered their names, have lunch plans and am looking forward to drinks and appetizers with the team this evening.

it's a good day.

I'm finding my place here.

the journey

applying for jobs is a journey.
...a journey i can control at least some part of.

finding a job is a completely different journey.
one that i can't at all control.
i've found lots of jobs in the past few months, but none of them have really found me.

but there's this one.
and i'm going to be one of their journeypersons.
it is out of control.


for me, though, right now, it's not about control.

it's all about the journey.
