It's sad how right that sounds, Nora.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think the difference between moving as a good for change vs. ineffective thing can be understood by being aware of what is making oneself unhappy/stagnant. I have a book about changing your life to be a life you enjoy and the first task in that book is to write down 100 things that annoy you. It can become VERY clear if one's surroundings are holding you down, or if it is something else (like a job field, an addiction/habit pattern, yourself/attitude, spouse/mate). If you don't know how to be happy with yourself or the way you live your life, then it won't matter where you live. Kinda like budgetting. If you never learn to live on $X a month, then chances are you will still have difficulty on $2X (providing X is at least enough to meet basic needs).

This is pretty key, IMO. If you hate where you live, then moving is probably going to be a productive solution. But sometimes problems can follow you around.
I had some terrible sushi last night and am still feeling the results. Not full-blown food poisoning, thank god, but still pretty oogy. (Sushi Dan near Lincoln Center, FYI NYistas. That place has gone WAY downhill. The tempura was still okay.)
Allyson, the tattoo is AWESOME. Love it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Perkins!!
Does that mean it's the board's bday, too?
So there was nothing I needed to come in for yesterday, which is good, since I didn't come in, but now I see there was really no reason for me to come in today, either! Except that I'm already off tomorrow. Bleh.

Happy birthday Perkins!
Jesse, so much of my office is out right now showing up is like a bit of a victory. The flu hasn't taken me yet!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Does that mean it's the board's bday, too?
It does! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PHOENIX!

My one task I should do today, apparently, is have a Come to Jesus meeting with my minion. I swear to god, she is only ever cute and helpful with me and then I hear she is often surly with everyone else. I don't get it.
