City Safari

  I made a list of all my goals for 2008 on the subway ride to work this week and not a single one of them involved my current job.  I think this is a sign.  Actually, I don’t think it’s a sign, I think it’s a blatantly obvious billboard stating that I do not have a burning passion for implementing software.

 Here is the list.  In 2008, I hope to have…

• the ability to have a conversation with a small child or very patient adult in Italian
• become a semi-competent swimmer and have competed in a sprint distance triathlon  (this is shorter than it sounds and if I don’t do this I am lame)
• be an expert braiser using my new, red Le Creuset braising pot and braising cookbook
• be in a relationship with potential for lasting love and future family fun  (preferably with current awesome boyfriend)
• write/blog 4 times a week using a more creative/cohesive theme other than current dumping of thoughts onto keyboard 
• Find new job that provides some level of inspiration and motivation…  I am hesitant to type this because I want it so badly but am afraid it won’t happen, so typed it quietly in italics and purpley font.
