Crawling into 2009...

As I enter 2009, it is safe to say that I am in a bit of a funk at the moment. Life is sort of stagnant and most of that stems from the fact that I am really not happy with my job at the moment. I moved to Charlottesville over a year ago and I figured that by now I would be doing something different. As of right now, I am waiting to hear about a position that I interviewed for back in early December. To be totally honest, I have been unable to think about much else recently.

My motivation is completely lacking as of the last month. Coming back from Vegas at the end of November seems to have started this bout of inaction. I do not feel like writing. I barely feel like reading. Regardless, I need to do something to snap out of it. The biggest challenge I have to face is what will happen if I do not get this new position at work.

I have come to terms with the fact that I will probably not get it at this point, but I have not completely lost hope. Either way, I love Charlottesville and I will put my head down and plow through. That being said, I will snap out of whatever this is in short order. It is a new year and there will be new opportunities. If all else fails, I wait until my lease runs out in September of this year and move somewhere else.

As for plans concerning the more short term, I really want to go skiing again. Hopefully we find a way to make that happen. Vegas is tentatively scheduled for April, so at least that is something else to look forward to in the sort of near future. I believe I have officially decided to sit out of the inauguration as I can only imagine how much of a mess DC will be when its population increases nine-fold overnight...but I could probably be persuaded to go. So I suppose the decision is not that official. Oh well.

Anyway, here's to a new year and whatever it may bring. For my sake, I hope it brings something new and exciting at work or else I am going to need to buy stock in Woodford Reserve!
