Dear God, what have I just done?
That’s the feeling I have right now, after telling my boss that August 15th will be the last day I work in the Computer Mechanics Lab at UC Berkeley. For years I’ve had a nice, well paying job with no firm assignments, flexible hours, huge floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Berkeley hills (plus a balcony), amazingly smart and genuine coworkers to learn from and a terrific hands-off boss that has advised my work, gotten me into and through a prestigious master program, let me take time off to go to any class I wanted and get exercise at lunch. He’s even taken me fishing a few times.
And I just told him that I’m leaving it all.
Wait, what?
Yea, and that’s not all. If all goes according to plan, I'll also be leaving my amazingly cozy and bright apartment. The best set of neighbors I could ever wish for (they’ve become great friends). Hell, better than Kramer could ever be. A dear friend down the street that I love and who loves me. Best friends in the city who might not be here when I return and--
Whoa, whoa, whoa partner! This is getting a bit dramatic. Let’s turn down the drama-o-meter a bit. I realize it’s the first blog entry but let’s not blow the top off the emotions. Ease into it. Something simple. Try again.
It’s official! I’m gonna’ be a traveler for a while!
