for one so far
Just finished day drinking whilst watching the decimated Bears lose their game and I thought I might write a little before hunkering down for the evening. Things are beginning to spin up at work and I need the night to settle down and make a plan for the week. I'm headed to Oregon but luckily I'll be nowhere near the kookiness going on in downtown P-town. I'll be more in the middle of the state, far enough where I'll be renting a car and driving quite a bit.
I mention this because my role is changing at work which means I won't be doing anymore visits to individual businesses for specific training and improvements. This makes the trip I'm about to go on my last of this kind and like most last things I have mixed emotions. I am moving on to a different role with more responsibility still working for a company I love BUT this work is my comfort zone. This makes the new job that starts next month a temporary area of discomfort. Like wet underpants discomfort. Not the worst thing, you'll live, but few folks like the sensation.
Some of my friends are struggling a bit with my whole situation and when they drink they get a little melancholy. But the facts are I am not dying, I'm only five hours away by car or a forty minute flight, I'm moving to help with my new financial reality, and as this past couple of years has taught me NOTHING IS FOREVER. Which means that you never know where you'll end up. I haven't told any of my friends about this blog thing just yet and I'm still on the fence about if and when. The problem is with some of them their wives and my ex are very close and I don't want anyone to have to hide anything but I am going to be dating at some point and undoubtably there are going to be stories.
Not that I'll write anything that might directly affect anyone reading it but right now I am going slow with the thought of telling. In fact I have let exactly one person know at this point and its because he is the one who got me thinking about writing again. In fact he told me to start writing and just name it for(his name)only.com which was available but I thought of all the weird interpretations and decided on the current long and awkward site title instead.
Anyhow, my buzz is wearing off and the Sunday Caries are setting in so I need to get to planning and packing for the week ahead. This will be my longest masked flight yet, so, fuck.
