My friend Brown (what can he do for you?) just dropped off a replacement turnbuckle for our sailboat’s lifeline. That will come in handy this weekend as we hope to get two days of sailing in at Lake Gaston. This will be our first sail of the year and the first in seven months. The weather is shaping up to be perfect, too: sunny with winds around 10 MPH and gusts to 25 MPH on Sunday.
Nothing keeps my head on straight like sailing does. Now if I could only get paid to do it…
A watched inbox never boils.
I realized today that I’m in a dilemma about finding my next job. While I am in no hurry financially to find my next job, I am in a hurry mentally. I want my next employer to be the place I stay for many, many years, so I don’t want to take just any offer for the sake of a paycheck. Still, though, I am motivated to be working right now. I’m not the kind of guy who enjoys being on the sidelines.
One thing I loved about my former employer is that it had a lot of room for me to grow. I could see myself being happy there for many more years. It was (and is) a wonderful place to work. Even today I have to fight the urge to pass along to them the great ideas I’m still dreaming up.
The perfect job for me is out there, I’m sure of it. The question is: do I have the patience to find it?
