Bored with life

I'm trying to find some new hobbies to interest me --- as the Bacholor is over -- in more than one sense. Lately I've had a real urge to get back into doing something musicie. It started as wanting to buy a piano -- and now it's into taking clarinet lessons again. I've found a local music school which I can actually get a diploma from them after a few years. They make you take not only private lessons -- but also piano and theory... which might be fun. I think I might start out taking clarinet lessons and then see how it goes -- decide what I feel like doing.

I've thought about tryign to go back and get an MBA -- but it seems a little premature as I still have little work experience. While I've basically worked since I was 16 -- they don't really count all those high school and college years on your resume. Maybe another year or so I'll try to go back to school. We'll see how interested I'm in in my present company in another 6 months and decide from there where I want to go. Since I'm already starting to get bored with my job it's not looking like hot prospects in Rochester NY. There are quite a few new people starting soon and I'm going to try to finagle my way around to get to do some new things and push some of the boring ass stuff off on other people. We'll see.

The Real World is Like Doing Time said…
Okay, I think what's going on here is very interesting. It always seems to me that people who invest a lot in science always end up swinging back to a creative mindset. I mean, how could you really ignore all that you did while at NDA in music? It was a big part of your life. That can't just disappear. I did the same thing. Now, all I do is spend time knitting and painting and creating jewelry. I'm taking ballet and yoga. I'm really trying to get back into creativity. I figure my life is so full of science, with Dan and his vet work, and me and my horticulture, that I really need it. In that way I'm creating balance, just like crazy wallaby rocko always tried to do with his crazy friends.
And anyway, I know how it feels to hate where you live and to be bored with what you do. I don't think there isn't a single college graduate who isn't in your place right now.
You should call me some time. I'd love to talk to you. And besides, I think we have wedding chatting to do. let me know

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
