Late-evening conversations

I recently chatted online with a really good friend and we were discussing how sometimes our jobs have taken somewhat of a toll on us. This, along with a few other circumstantial reasons has made me reconsider whether I want to move on to do something else.

On the flip side, I think about all the people who would give up a critical body organ to be able to work and get off the street; then I end up feeling kinda dumb and selfish for being juvenile and unappreciative of my livelihood.

My job is a blessing - I love the company culture and the people even more, and the work keeps me on my toes. But, as my ever-patient and loving wife will attest to, it'd be nice to have a job that literally doesn't take up my whole day (and has been doing so for the last 4-5 months). Our project is almost over, then I guess I should decide whether to move forward or move out. Maybe it'll get better, or maybe not.

At any rate, I am grateful for the opportunities I do have - just having a little bit of cheese with my whine. -g
