Another cycle that ends.

A bit over a year ago I was waxing poetic about how good the year had been and how much I had learned and how life had changed in so many ways in so little time.

Well, life is changing again — As us geeks say, the only constant in BLANK is change.

No, no offspring yet, not that kind of a change. We got us a lady cat, that’s a handfull for now, family-wise.

Once again I am moving on professionally, sooner than I thought. I had my mind set for a three to five year project but I fell a bit short on that. I lost the joy I had and that I know I can have. Yes, there were the good days, the bad days and the so-and-so days. But taking a cold, hard look at my past year, my balance is not positive. Yes, I have learned a lot. A lot more than if I had been in my confort zone. That was good. But not good enough.

Looking back and taking a rational, presumptive look forward, I did not see much light. I could see many things but I did not see joy in my day-to-day activities, not even in most of my peers. So, once again, I’m moving on to a different challenge.

Doubts? Not many. Less than last time, atleast.

Most life-changing decisions I have made based on my instincts have been sound decisions. My previous move was largely influenced by several factors, altough I do_not regret_it_ in any imaginable way. It was the rational thing to do at the time.

This also seems like the rational thing to do now — and my instincts support me.

...for now...
