There’s something to be said about the smell of a good cup of coffee right before you drink it. I like to savor these little moments because for just a second I’m out of the office, sitting on a patio of my favorite cafe, with casual clothes on thinking only about that next sip. Ah, damn…reality and I’m at my desk spilling it all over my self. Damn.

Well, on to better news than my coffee stained top, I have a meeting today with my career councilor to talk about what I can barter with for her time on helping me achieve the inner job-chi (is that even spelled right?). Bartering…I don’t know if I’m really that good at it, but I’m going to give it a go. Something, ANYTHING has to be better than where I am right now.

God and I talked it over the other day and I’ve come to peace with the fact that THIS job is just a temporary fill for what’s to come. In other words, I’ll keep making money while I try to figure it out before I leave. Yes, good plan. Well, except for the fact that it’s overly annoying to be here and I actually feel claustrophobic around 5:00 p.m…

Sorry, I just was interrupted with work. Gesh, the nerve. (Totally kidding because I DO realize I still have to work here regardless how I feel.)

Like I was telling my girlfriend a couple of weekends ago, I want to have my own schedule and not feel like I have to work for the man. I think for the first time in a long time I really don’t like the man. I thought I would love the corporate life, but seriously it sucks. I’m over it and am ready for steady, ready fun in the small business, but still kick your ass in work kind. Yeah, that’s what I’m ready for.

I’m hoping that my lunch meeting with Career Councilor is going to open my eyes a little more the mystery that is my career life. I’m so ready to quit the job I’m in and start working from scratch on my friend’s photography business. Check it out…it’s amazing. Oh, but I have to warn you the website is under maintenance, so the blog isn’t there but her portfolio is and she’s kick ass.
