Changes (Archive from May 17, 2005)

Lots of things are going through my head these days. Should I quit my job? Should I look for a new apartment? Should I cut all my hair off? I think when one thing changes (I broke up with a long-term boyfriend last week) sometimes the mind starts racing toward other changes. Changing my job is a big one. I am very comfortable here. I like the way things work. It is a good job but it doesn't pay very much. What I don't get in salary I get in perks -- I travel to Europe often and I get 5 weeks vacation in addition to sick time and paid holidays. Pretty cool. Hard to give up let me tell you especially considering that most companies make you work there 6 months before you get your first week of vacation. But New York is an expensive city and more money would be great.I have been thinking lately about leaving New York, finding a life somewhere where I have no memories. Some days I am okay with how things are going. Some days I can't believe I am stuck being me.
