It is poor form, I agree. But, you've heard enough about my family to know that was sort of their signature :)

It's always good to hear someone relates to what I'm feeling. I love what you said -- I thought of it as I went through the drama that it took to get to the interview. Funding my aspirations, indeed. Almost everything in life is temporary, as is this. Thanks :)

The same thing happened to me when I was little and threatened to runaway -- swear to God! I really often give it serious thought, because I think it is poor form for parents to not take this kind of thing seriously. I mean, I was sincerely upset, so to not take my feelings seriously just wasn't right. It's still not right when they don't take me seriously when I threaten to runaway to this day!
Great post, Temple.

I too have these days - all the time
" Just an off day where nothing gets done and I forget that nothing got done until tomorrow when I have more to do"
Don't think of the job as a sell-out so much as funding your aspirations.

so the young child wandered off toting a green suitcase...
already knowing that happiness is a journey not a destination. this bit of wisdom discovered yesterday while i read a sign over the commander's shoulder during a qualification board. He saw me looking and thought I was tired of his questions. an optimistic thought from someone who constantly asks, "are we there yet?" Have a good day Temple.
