More Change...does it ever stop?
I feel that in the past 7 days, my life has gone through more changes than most people typically do. I suppose the reason for those changes can be directly attributed to the fact that I work in a job where I can be sent anywhere at any time to fulfill billing requirements and couple that with the fact that come January 31st, I have no clue as to what I'm going to be doing.
I have found out that after next week, I will no longer be coming out to the glorious Columbus, Ohio for the project that I am currently working on. Apparently, a large pharmaceutical company in Northern New Jersey is handing off all their Business Intelligence needs to my company, and I am going to be part of the team that goes into the offices and finds out what kind of needs they have. It sounds like an interesting project to be working on, and it could be quite good for me, considering that it's fairly centrally located. Technically, I could travel there from my parents house with reletive ease. Although it may be a 2 hour drive, that wouldn't be that big of a deal to do for a month or so, especially if I were able to save tons of money by living with my parents for a month or two. It’s just strange to think that in about 3 months, I am going to be out of my apartment that I have been living in for about two years. More than that, I don’t even have a plan for where I’m going to go or what I’m going to do. It’s kind of scary actually, but I think that I’ll be able to deal with it. As my mother said, and I tend to believe this, everything will fall into place and become clearer as the time approaches.
Other than the changes that are going on at work, which are huge, things are pretty much the same at home and between Laura and I. Pretty calm and sedate. We were planning on doing this whole Beer Golf kind of outing on Saturday, but we both feel that we don’t need to be drinking that much and we both should probably use or money and time more effectively. Seeing as how Laura is going to go and take an LSAT the next day (practice), I will tag along with her and just hang out on Saturday night.
Although I was saving a ton of money by traveling all the time, it is going to be nice to finally be able to come home and sleep in my own bed at night. I just hope that the traveling won’t get the best of me while I am still having to live in the city. I will have to check and see how that all works out in terms of train schedules and stuff. I figure that if it takes me around 2 hours to get there by train, I should be able to get the company to foot the bill for a hotel room for one or two nights during the week so as to allow me to not travel back and forth every day. I think that I’m getting a little ahead of myself. I haven’t even really heard much about the positions that they have there or what we’re going to be doing, so we’ll see.
Patience is the name of the game I suppose. Ugh… I feel like I’ve been saying that for years.
