Literature is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none. - Jules Renard
I think this translate well to other occupations or personal abilities. I enjoy being in an environment where I feel inspired, rather then situations where I have figured out the answer before anyone else. Worse, when you explain it to them and they still don't get it. The next day they treat you like you don't know anything because they are superior. Right. I miss my job in Vancouver.

So is dressing up a chicken and calling it your wife
Why is it when you think you have found exactly what you want, after waiting for what seems like forever and taking a pit stop at what you definitely don't want, you find something else that would be even better. Talk about long sentence.
I had a great interview in the environment that I thought I have been looking for.
Cons: It is a commute. Which means paying for and taking transit. The pay is a little under par. Pros: potentially desired work environment and half days on Friday. Eventually pay will go up and if we decided to move closer to both of our offices then the commute would lessen.
The question is, now that there is the potential for this position to be mine there have been several other job posting in the same block as my partner's office. Which would mean we could car pool together. The posting are also along the lines of what my job has already been.
It goes back to my desire to always be changing. I like all the pain and sweat of being in a new environment, yet really prefer normal routine. I guess I like when the decision to be made is obvious.
Deciding to get a haircut, easy. Hair getting a little too long and is showing signs of suffering through winter. Decision = yes, get the hair cut.
Should I buy this outfit, easy. Outfit looks fantastic on me and will be able to mix and match with other items in current wardrobe. Decision = yes, get new outfit.
Should I accept possible job even with my heart hesitating, extremely difficult. So many variables, no sure outcome, possible annoyance of commute and resentment of less pay.
Decision = Unknown, further thought required... restate difficult decision.
ps.. I only work to get a pay cheque, in case this wasn't obvious. If I didn't need a pay cheque I would volunteer my time in much more useful ways. Much more rewarding ways.
