Yet another inspiring day at the office. Ugh, I never imagined myself saying that, having an office job. I remember in college, I had amazing dreams of making a living as an artist, moving to Paris or London or San Francisco... I wish one could still survive as a starving artist, mooching off good people and picking up odd jobs here and there in between creating incredible works of inspired genius.
Today was one bitch of a day. I puttered around, paperwork and work on the floor, but damn if it didn't go slower than some of the days just before Christmas. One good thing with the slow pace was I got to solidifying my travel plans! It started out as some interest in the rugged beauty of Iceland, and over time, it has progressed into a month off work and a three country trip. The reading about the 1920s in Paris stretched the two week trip to Iceland to three, then I figured, fuck it, make it a month and stop over and see A in London on the way over. Maybe. I have spent tons of time in London over the last 6 years. Maybe she can come for a weekend in Paris! That would be fun, traveling with her again.
Hopefully this will give me the will to stay at the dead end job with mediocre compensation for another year (give or take...) until the economy turns around again.
The trip also gives me a close deadline to lose the weight I want, get back to my healthy weight. Gotta look fantabulous in those travel pictures! ... All by myself... but that's another story!
Onward to health and adventure!
A
