Motion

That familiar feeling is back again, of being on the move. That, I will take for progress. Anyway, recap.

New Zealand was awesome. A perfect trip. Bungee. Diwali fireworks on a Queenstown paddock. And, much more.

Four more days, and we will be married a year. It has been nothing short of absolutely special. Yet, I will be spending the day alone.

Christmas is here. So is our nicely decorated Christmas tree. We are looking forward to our first Christmas party.

Work meanders along. I am quietly resigned to a job that is without prospects and without challenge. To be honest, it is interesting work. Yet, pointless. At least, I am convinced it will be nothing beyond the short term. You cannot be frustrated about not getting what you do not want.

The struggle of August 4 seems to be alive and well. Much to my pleasant surprise. Let us try to keep that fire burning.

I now have a list of companies. It has taken me 4 months and a career coach to get to this point. I completed the Flower exercise. I found out so much more about myself.

The MBA applications have received a full stop. Two years too precious. I hope I do not regret it. In fact, I don't feel the painful pangs of disinterest anymore. She is applying, by the way. I pray that she succeeds.

My resume has found its way into the hands of headhunters. 1. The economy is back, and so are the calls. 2. The Shell logo is good for a few interviews. 3. Do I really want Business Development roles in Soxal or Vopak? Let us see how they'll pay and how badly they need me.

For a brief afternoon, we considered buying our own place. We still might.

The marathon is not going to happen.

2010 is drawing to a close. A different kind of year, I would say.

2011 is full of exciting promise. The promise of change. Of motion.
