The best session i went to at my conference last week was entitled "Stepping out of Your Comfort Zone". It was really great, and there was a lot in it. The main message was that many of us strive to be comfortable in life – but instead we should strive to contribute to the world and challenge ourselves. He said…"If you don't like your job…quit! If you are in a bad relationship…get out! What are you waiting for?!?"
That same day, I found an ad for a job that sounds like it would be really great for me. So…today I submitted an application. It doesn't hurt to shop around, right? I figured that if the only reason not to do it is that I'm afraid of the change, then that isn't a good enough reason. So we'll see. I won't really have any big decision to make until when/if they offer me the job. I kind of hope they do, though!
…i haven’t posted for a really long time. sorry about that.
on sunday, i’m off to a conference for work. however, it’s really not that exciting because it’s in minneapolis. originally it was supposed to be in new orleans…but that didn’t quite work out. so, i’ll get to sleep in my own bed at night, which is good. but what isn’t so good is that i didn’t realize that most nights i won’t get home until after 10pm, and i’ll have to leave again in the morning at least by 6:30. we live probably 30 minutes (no traffic) away from the conference site, but add in morning rush hour…and it will be much longer. oh well – this should be a really good learning experience for me, so i am excited to go. plus, because of all the extra time that i have to spend at this thing (way over my 40 hour work week), i get to take a few days off for comp time. so that’s good. it seems that i burn through my vacation pretty quickly, so extra days are always appreciated.
i think that’s about all i got for now. at least it’s all that comes to mind.
