i don't often discuss my professional career here, however, i feel like i'm stuck in a bit of a rut these days and that there's no place to go in my current situation.
on the one hand, i have a pretty good job, that isn't awlays very rewarding, but it is a gig that a lot of people probably wish they had. there are not really a lot of surprises anymore, not that i never learn anything new, but the challenges appear to be fewer and further between. it's sort of like a comfortable relationship that you may take for granted. it's there and you play your part and perform your duties and responsibilities but you have to wonder where it's going (note: i am NOT referring to an actual relationship here!) also, there's the bit about instability. things have changed a lot in the last couple of years and there appear to be major changes to come. what happens when the dust all settles remains to be seen, but i am not ashamed to admit that i an keeping my eyes open for opportunities on the outside.
it's also possible that when the changes do occur that they could be positive. there's awlays the chance that my situation here will improve and that i'll still be here in five years, but i am keeping all options open at this point. it's important to me to feel that i am at least active in controlling my own career and destiny. what will actually end up happening is anybody's guess. can you tell it's a gloomy, rainy day? it's probably not as bad as i made it sound. more upbeat next time...
