Wake Me When December Ends

I hate getting behind on my blogging. I never know where to start. Most of the time I’ve written lots of material in my head, but it never seems quite as amusing when begin to type. This then makes me wonder if I am actually that crazy guy that you see on the subway - you know, the one who always appears to be laughing at his own jokes.

I know it is not a very timely post since Thanksgiving is long gone, but I want to share some things that I am thankful for.

I am so, so happy that I have a job that I enjoy. Man, what a difference a year makes! Last year at this time, I was totally freaking out about not having a job. I really didn’t want to go home for Christmas without a job. I was really quite frustrated. I was doing everything in my power to get in front of folks and I was spending a lot of time on the business plan competition at NYU. Now I have a job that I love. I have a ton of responsibility and respect, which I wanted. In fact, thanks to a lot of hard work, we’re even implementing many of the things that were in my business plan.

I am also very thankful to be nearly through with school. In just under three weeks, I will have taken all of my finals and made my last group presentation. I really like both of my classes this semester, but at this point, it is hard to think about anything other than being done with school. At the financial aid seminar on Friday, they asked if I thought I might go to law school. Ha! I mean, I envy those who have what it takes to do it, but I really do not feel that is my calling. Anyway, I keep telling myself that I am going to have all this extra starting in January. I know in reality, I’ll just have a few more hours. I want to be careful that I don’t spend it all at work. At a minimum, maybe I won’t have the Sunday night freakout sessions, once January comes around.

I am thankful for my health, both mental and physical. I stayed inside for most of the weekend because I was getting pretty run down. Friday night I woke up, feeling like half of my face was swollen up. I think it was just some type of sinus irritation - not even a full infection. Still, it is difficult to be productive when you don’t feel well. My overall outlook on life is much more positive than it has been during other parts of my life. I know I take work way to seriously. There was a time when I worked at Elektra when even when I enjoyed what I was doing, I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders.

Finally, I am thankful for my friends and family. They support me when I am a little bummed out. They even forgive me when I am too busy to spend time with them. Thank you.

My postings may be a little sparse over the coming weeks. December, which I always enjoys, is usually pretty hectic. I don’t expect this year to be any different.
