I'm Not Calling For a Second Chance, I'm Screaming at the Top of My Lungs

Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.

'Same Mistake - James Blunt

I seem to be having a bit of deja vu. As I write this, we are looking for a new house, yet again. This will be the fourth place in seven months. I'm a bit amused by the fact that I have felt no anger over this. I have predicted since the day that our landlord said we could only sign a six-month lease, that there was trouble afoot. Indeed she is selling the house, and we now have less than four weeks to leave. I still think this will lead to an even better living arrangement, and that we will end up being even better off, even if temporarily inconvenienced.

On the work front, well, I'm completely fed up. After completely driving myself into the ground since last August, I find that the work I do is underappreciated, for the sake of brevity. I could go on and on about why, but most everyone has heard me rant and rave about it. However even this is alright, as I believe that whatever I am forced to do in looking for a different position/job, things will be better.

As for everything else, I just don't know. I have, for god only knows what reason, taken advice from those that I said I wouldn't ever again. I guess its not so bad this time as I really have nothing to lose, but even so, I think my gut feeling remains accurate. To all those at work Friday morning, mostly from Product Process and Media...yeah, I don't generally have these conversations because now, 47 different people are going to ask me the same thing, and upon reply, will attempt to dispense advice that is probably not terribly useful (no offense). I mean its nice that people are so interested in my...well being...but it doesn't make it any less annoying at times.

On the completely positive side, in spite of the speed bumps, I'm thoroughly enjoying most everything right now.
