4 Pathways

I’m at a crossroads, if that hasn’t already become obvious.  And I figure that there are 4 distinct paths I could take to 4 distinct goals.  What is interesting is that none of the paths overlap AT ALL.  So it’s a big decision.  If I change my mind, I have to work backwards to change routes.  So, I could…

1.  Stay put.  Continue working in my current field and hope it gets better.  Hmmm… No?

2.  Go to school anyway.  Work toward the same degree without the actual degree.  Hope it leads to a better job.  Dicey.

3.  Work towards the “dream scenario,” the ultimate goal for where I want to be in 20 years.  It requires maximum effort, huge sacrifices, a big move and a lot of guts.  Kinda scary…

4.  Use the resources at hand to involve myself in a project that could last 5-10 years and would keep me here.  Like #3, it would also require a huge financial investment on my part.  Also scary.

My wacky Tarot reading the other night emphasized patience, something I have always lacked.  Everyone keeps telling me to slow down and to not to jump into anything.  Well, that’s all fine and good, but I’ve been sitting on my ass, being passive, for way too long.  Maybe rash is good.  Or maybe I really am just that impatient.  I feel like if I don’t jump now, I never will.

I just read over this and the correct path is clear.  But can I do it?

OK, I suck.

I realize that it has been months… Oops.

I just got a new computer this morning, so I can finally get on the internet at home.  Lord knows I can’t even think about posting from work.

So, quick review– Didn’t get the job.  Decided to go back to school.  That’s not working out the way I planned.  Now I’m feeling completely trapped in my job.  Unfortunately, I had made a plan and believed it would work out.  It didn’t.  So I’ll have to file that resignation letter away and figure something else out.  ARGH!!!

I’m afraid I’m becoming annoying.  I can’t even stand my bitching anymore.

More to come… But, I need to wait until I can say something interesting.  Might be a while…
