it has gone from below freezing, to april/may weather and back again this week. training has been instructive, and has helped my confedence somewaht (given that i have only been at my job for a week, and the overwhelm is high). part of me is hungry for change, and that part was hoping the job would be it. it may yet be what i need, but if i end up holding a flaming bag of poo, i am going to bail, and search out new pastures.
when i took the position, i knew i had some uphill battles to fight. recent developments leave me halfway up the mountainside without a sherpa. i have gotten myself out of rougher spots before. i am not being cocky, but i know i _can_ do this – the question, of course, is if i want to.
i had a good week. i learned a lot. i had a wonderful times with friends, old and new. it looks like i will be able to get out of here tonight without too much hassle. may the weather gods be kind.
ski trip this weekend. i have all the prep work done. i plan on getting up early, making breakfast, taking a nap, getting up, drinking, writing, reading, and chilling the fuck out.
maybe there will be some clarity between the 2000 pages of book i have to read, the 300 pages of book i want to wite, and the large bottle of maker’s mark hopefully on it’s way to vermont as i write this.
allegedly the resort joint has internet access, so you may hear from me before tuesday.
