One of my favorite personal quotes is “Sometimes different ain’t different ENOUGH…other times, different just ain’t ENOUGH”.

I hate it when my words come back to bite me in the butt.

It’s time for DIFFERENT. As in “SHAKE-UP-MY-WORLD” different. Bottom line, I need to be different. (The other part of that personal quote? “We move from situation to situation, telling ourselves that ‘this time IT’s gonna be different when in actuality what needs to be different is US”. See? Another chunk outta my butt. LOL)

I’m not really feeling this contracting assignment. Maybe it’s too much like my old job ergo “not different enough”. Trying to figure out how much of this restlessness is me…and how much is the actual culture. (Had a convo with my manager last week after having gotten the runaround AGAIN. Folks are working the pass-the-buck triatholon for real. I told him the easiest way to deal with “passing-the-buck” is to issue new “money” - we are dealing with the currency of NOW. LOL Yeah - “the Velvet Hammer” ain’t fittin’ ta fool wit’ dat nonsense. Enough.) I have three months left on this contract. I want to dig my feet in and get some things done before I leave. All I can do is try, right?

Even bigger than another contracting position in three months….I’m contemplating a move. A big move. An “across-state-liner” move. Shhhhhhhh! Don’t tell my fam - they don’t know yet (and ya’ll know we’re gonna have to medicate Princess So Fabulous).

I’ve got a little time to check things out…take a few trips to the state(s)/city(s) that I’m considering, check out the employment situation CAREFULLY, housing, QUALITY OF LIFE. Plus, I need to figure out what I’m gonna do with my house…sell or rent. *sigh* Either way, I need to get some work done

The new year is a good time to start over fresh right? That gives me 9-months to work things out, see if I can push to build up my reserves…figure out what and when to tell those folks to whome I’m related.

Maybe that’s what I needed - a bigger “DIFFERENT” to focus on. Well, by George, I think I’ve got it.

Shake up the world!
