It seems every time I have a clear path ahead of me, that unexpected bend in the road knocks me off track.
Like I talked about last week, I had my first interview with Oracle – and while I haven’t heard anything about that in definitive terms, other stuff has served to make me confused. First, today I met with my realtor Stacy. She didn’t have exactly happy news to tell me – but it’s not entirely surprising news either. Basically it comes down to the fact that I’ll barely be able to break even if we sell the house for about $12K more than I bought it for, because in the year and a half I’ve lived here, I’ve paid very little towards principal. Not good for me with respect to trying to make much money come selling time. So now that really makes me have to consider – do I stay another year, pay more principal, and hope that the market turns around so I can possibly sell next year? But if that’s the path to go down, then I need to find a job here…and who knows how much I can get for one out here? Then I’m headed out to Chicago in a few weeks for a hiring conference… I’m SOOOOO overwhelmed / confused / scared / undecided.
So that’s my dilemma for the time being in the big picture. In the little picture, today I actually was tasked with stuff to do and it felt nice to be needed again. Truly needed. I can’t wait to have a real job again.
And finally, I’ve resumed putting up more pictures of the Europe trip – although I’m drained after this last page, which is of Day 5 while we were in Paris. There were a ton of pictures. And the next day has just as much, which means it may still be a while till I get that done. Anyways, that’s the latest. Oh yeah, I drank a lot on Sunday and didn’t hike Pikes Peak. But maybe next week?
