the hunt for red october
Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006–what are you for halloween? –sad.
Wednesday, November 1st, 2006Happy anniversary to me.
I have been gainfully employed at The Florida Times-Union for a year now. This means that I can, in theory, wholeheartedly start looking for work elsewhere should the fancy strike me.
Has it really been a year already? The lack of distinct, extreme seasons confuses me. Maybe I have been here for one winter, or maybe it was a lengthy cold front. I’m not sure. And it doesn’t feel like I’ve done anything. I remember going to work five times a week most every week, but I’m drawing a blank trying to come up with other things I have done or accomplished.
On the other hand, has it been only a year? Late 2005 hardly exists in my mind. The early months of this year are a similar blur. Perhaps the months tripled in length when I wasn’t paying attention. People have come and gone. I’ve already forgotten names. And I’m always so bored. That surely stretches the days. I feel so old sometimes.
At any rate (in fact, at the same rate, $695), I signed another year lease. So I guess I’m sticking around a bit.
