Life is such a sweet insanity.
I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.Thursday, April 15, 2004
Life in the Midwest.
Another day in beautiful Iowa. I just got back from eating supper at a local restaurant with my classmates and various members of the computer company I'm learning from. Being the techno geek that I am, I can't believe how much I've learned in the first half of the training session. I thought I already knew it all. Apparently I was wrong.
I have a tendency to talk shop at company related dinners. Maybe my conversational skills are reduced to bits and bytes and binary babble. Maybe I should pay more attention to the useless one (Jai) on Queer Eye for The Straight Guy.
I still can't get over how nice people are in the little town in northwest Iowa. It is so refreshing. Having only met a lot of these people just 12 hours ago, it's amazing to me that I feel so comfortable being with them. I suppose this has been a study in assertiveness. I tend to be a little shy or withdrawn when confronted with a situation outside of my little world, but I've felt very at ease these past couple of days. It's been a wonderful feeling. Perhaps this trip was exactly what the doctor ordered. I do have a fresh outlook on my current professional circumstances. And I feel a warm, sunny glow in my soul that I haven't felt in a while. Not that I was full of darkness or anything like that, but the change of scenery and such has really lifted my spirits.
I do know that if Earl's job dictate a move (and in all likelihood, that is going to happen soon), I am going to be better prepared to handle it, both professionally, and more importantly, emotionally. I'll be able to handle making new friends and getting acquainted to a new city or town. I really like the idea of telecommuting.
Tomorrow night I head back home. I can't wait to be with Earl again. I look forward to sharing my new lease on life with him.
