24th January 2006

continuing last night, so keep the stats.

ultimate aims: travel, maybe some day set up language scool or firm of interpreters/tanslators

right, option 1: stay with Horrid Lying Bastards [HLBs] til time come to leave to go to exocit places and study.
Pros:
1. will get paid to sit around and do pretty much nothing.
2. will get HLBs very powerful name in resume.
3. if they turn out to be capable of not lying, will get training role in a few months.
4. will actually be around people other than my parents, many of which are my age and thus might actually have some fun.
5. will have time for exercise
6. will have time to semi-direct play
7. will have time to read on bus to work


Cons:
1. will be suicidal with mind-numbingly mechanical job.
2. HLBs powerful name means very little unless want to stay corporate, which don't. especially since job profile is so menial that it might even be adverse in effect, unless want to to continue in similar profile hahahahahaha.
3. if dont plan to stick around for even 6 months then why wait for training role that will then prolly be a month long?
4. other people doing this job, bless their little souls, are stupid. nice and sweet and pretty, but stupid. as good as not having people to hang out with.
5. will not have time to learn languages, which is after all main ultimate goal.
6. will not have time to properly direct play.

7. will end up actually with a 12 hours shift including commute.
8. will not be using spanish for atleast a month more, maybe ever, since am not sure if am in spanish team or not.
9. with timings will have no social life.

Options 2: Quit job with HLBs
Pros:

1. will have time for exercise.
2. will be able to apply for, at least, spanish teaching job in local language school, if not get it. this translates to valuable experience. plus i LOVE teaching spanish.
3. will be able to continue with german and mybe start french again.
4. will be able to direct play fulltime
5. will have time to readreadreadreadread.
6. will have time to travel.
7. will be able to explore opportunities to teach in south america and go go go go!
8. theoretically can devote more time to fotografy or maybe go take a course or summat.
9. can go to dallas to visit cousin and lose weight.

Cons:
1. will have screwed up AGAIN. tho really, have alry screwed up whether i keep job or not.
2. wont have that pay coming in. but dont need the pay.
3. will have not muhc external company. tho actually with classes and play will see enough of other people.

hmmm...we might have a decision, no?

Well, if those genuinely are all the options (and you haven't subcinsciously loaded them to suit what you really want to do) then yes, it does seem pretty clear.

Make the most of the life you've got, while you've got it to enjoy.

My spelling of the longest word in the last comment is a typo, not ignorance.

I think you've already made up your mind, my lovely! But whatever you do, do it with gusto.

(And a bit of glitter if you can)

see thats the problem. family all sez im looking at minutiae. they are probably right. but then if look at big picture about being happy then sticking wiht the HLBs is just stupid! while there is a part of me that desperately wants to just go do what i want to do cos ive wasted much time trying to do what's right already, theres still a lil bit of me thats going er....but its the SENSIBLE thing to do.

dave, do you think i even NOTICE typos?

lee...i dont do glitter anymore, after i put in on in flouresecent light to go to a garden party at night. the line i heard the most was: ooo look the stars have come out. *shudder*

Did you think I was going to give you the chance to criticise my spelling?

Paternally I'd say do the sensible thing...

As someone who regrets missed opportunities in my past; as a person who settled down to a sensible life too soon...

...it's your life; your call, not mine.

Yes yes, Im all for the wonderful quiting of howible job. The hell with earning your living, live of other people, thats what I say.
Also my phone does not work any longer, as Mr. Man from Andamans came to my house and took my charger back with him. Hence no reply to msgs if you sent any.
Thirdly, there is a new Osty up. I thought youd like to know, being my bigggest only fan and all that.
And Dave, you smart man! I dont send Ameya letters cos she sends them back correceted.
