Wandering Aimlessly

I'm moving my room around. It's all a crazy mess right at the moment. In the middle is my suitcase (still not completely unpacked from Florida), a pile of Christmas gifts I have to find a place for, a pile of papers/cardboard boxes/garbage I unearthed from who knows where, and countless other random things that need to either be put away or thrown away. It would be so simple if I could move things without having to organize everything, but alas, I'm doing this the thorough way. I have lived in this very room for twenty-two years, and it shows by the amount of stuff I have squirreled away here and there.

This is my last week of "freedom" before I become a member of the professional, working society. It's a scary prospect. Especially getting only ten days (plus bank holidays, which I need to find a calendar of so I can start planning things) off a year. That is going to be the biggest transition, when going from three months off in the summer, a month at Christmas, and a week in both the fall and the spring. Gosh. Welcome to the real world.

So I'm beginning to play the rest of my life. Ha! All this without having started my job. I don't have a clue as to how I will like it, and yet, here I am, planning, planning, planning. I was looking at the Disney job postings the other day. Almost all of them require 2+ years experience. I figure for a lot of it, I can kind of fudge experience. Not in lying about it, but I'm pretty sure that, in the five years worth of random jobs I've had, I can come up with something relevant. That, added to a year or so of working at the bank, should put me in a solid position to obtain a "real" job with either Disney or a similar company. And if I like the bank management position, there are banks everywhere, in every state. Moving, to me, is a valid reason for leaving a job. So I can do as much without coming off as irresponsible or mean to my employers. All that said, I want to move within the next year, two at the most. That's really nothing new, I'm just thinking through things right now. I could go out to Los Angeles, try my luck on the west coast for a while. Or I could go down to Orlando, where I know I can be happy. We'll see.

I miss my Florida friends. {{hugs}} to all of you!

It sounds like Carolyn is having a blast in her new position as a Guest Relations intern. I am officially jealous. <.g> Miss talking to ya, C!
