End of the first half of writing.\u00a0 Good thing, but, eventually, I’ll get everything setup the way.
\nI don’t know.\u00a0 I feel a lot better this year than I did the previous two.
\nI’m maneuvering in to probably where I belong.\u00a0 I really wish it paid more money, but whatever.
\nMeanwhile, I have recruiters nibbling constantly.\u00a0 At the same time, part of me wants to stay where I am.\u00a0 I do like the people I’m working with, and the work I’m doing.
\nIt’s different;\u00a0 I haven’t had that in I don’t know how many years.
\nThe material desires that would have consumed me in the past are just gone.
\nMaybe that’s strange.\u00a0 Maybe.
\nBut what can I say?\u00a0 Perhaps I should reanalyze things on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
\nSo much of what I’d been trying to do the past few years was really just about keeping things afloat.
\nI’ve succeeded, though.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m still alive.\u00a0 I still love my wife, and I think that feeling is mutual (most days).\u00a0 There’s light at the end of the financial tunnel I dug for myself.
\nI’m still alive.\u00a0 My wife still loves me.\u00a0 I can sorta look at myself in the mirror.
\nThis weekend, I will work.\u00a0\u00a0I am 100% okay with this.\u00a0 In my previous roles, that would have driven me completely insane.
\nPart of my impetus to write\u00a0previously, though, might have been my dissatisfaction.\u00a0 It was something to do to divert my attention from the bad shit that was going on.
\nI don’t have that anymore.
\nI do plan to stick with this for the month, but I might not do it next year.
\nNoJoMo in November will require additional prompts.\u00a0 We shall see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
