I don’t think I mentioned it, but a week ago yesterday was my first anniversary at a full time job. I spent it waiting to fly to dc for a briefing where I think I assured that I can make a career here if I want to.
Do I want to?
This job isn’t bad, in fact I might even say it’s good. Already higher salary than anything I’ve had before, including what I made with Ro compared on a per hour basis. Duties aren’t hard. People are friendly. Work is helping me grow in important ways.
It’s also painfully bureaucratic, regimented, dry, uncreative, and not my core interests.
I’ve thought aboout pursuing additional degrees that are more explicitly environmentally focused, but I’m starting to think that that may be a bad idea. More school as a delaying tactic.
Awhile back I had the idea to make documentaries about the issues I cared about. Less self-focused than Moore’s or Gore’s. More like “The Corporation”. I also went to the podcasting seminar at origins and it got me thinking that that would be awfully cool.
Things are better than they were a few months ago on the emotionally dead/depressed front, thoough they still have some distance to go. That is the state of the scu for now.
