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.

Spring is in the Air
Even though fall is my favorite, I have to admit spring is a close runner-up. I will not complain at all of my first winter in the east as I really don't think it deserves any negative attention. Also in consideration of the completely miserable winter I missed in the west. I can't believe I missed it and they received such continual horrible weather. I hear there are great signs of spring there now and shortly all will forget this random winter mess.
What I was getting to was that there are already crocuses springing up from the earth. I am amazed as they have been buried for several weeks under snow and ice and yet they are still green. I guess they are smart and knew the temperture was on the rise.
I can't wait to start planting some flowers and other things. There is a flower bed out front as well as a whole backyard and hooks for baskets. This is a first for me so I may cheat and buy some of the tiny flowers already in their growing process rather then starting from scratch as I would rather have colour then find out I did something wrong. Learn from what actually lived and thrived. The front yard is a heat trap and even on the coldest day feels like fire went you walk out the front door when the sun is shining. The backyard is shade most of the day.
I have overheard from his convo with his parents last night that we are going to Home depot this weekend!!!! Finally!! Not that it is far away, just waiting for the weather to mostly commit to spring.
On another note we went into Richmond Hill area (or Markham??) last weekend. It was fantastic and must be known as Asia GTA as there were endless Sushi, Chinese and my fav Vietnamese restaurants. I enjoyed a fantastic Vietnamese lunch which definitely contended with the place back home. I felt like I was home in Vancouver as driving down the streets there were reminiscent. It is the first time I have felt deeply aware that I miss home. I love being here and if the opportunity came to move back tomorrow I don't think I would want to go. To me it isn't the same thing, to miss it and to want to be there. Now going for a visit for sure!
