plans for the summer

Work has been busy this week. For a lot of it i have been on my own having to deal with all manner of crap. I know i complained about doing nothing most of the time and to be honest there was not enough work when we had 4 people but when there is only one person (me) there is more than enough to do. its still not too bad but it means i have done no study during the day. Yes, its true, i have been working at work.

Am still planning on leaving when my contract is up and i spoke to a couple of friends about whether they would be interested in a road trip in august when i will be free of this place. Actually not just A road trip, but THE road trip, driving across the US from the east coast to California through the heartlands of America. I have always wanted to do it and i think i will have a window of opportunity to do it after this contract.

I have already been doing some research about different routes and places we could go to.............................and then yesterday i got a couple of calls out of the blue for interviews at a couple of banks. I can’t turn them down. I need to sensible and pragmatic and as amazing as the road trip would be, i can’t turn down a good job just for it. Anyways, we shall see how it goes and i could very well be still going on a road trip because i have had lots of rejections in the past and it would be no surprise to get rejected again. This time i won’t mind so much.

....i had even started thinking about putting together a ‘driving across america’ playlist. Something with themes of summer, cars, highways and America. Maybe some songs by, bruce springsteen, bob seger, the beach boys, the eagles, guns’n’roses, neil young, stereophonics, audioslave, incubus, the cars............etc.

Anyways we shall see how the next few weeks pan out. Either way, there is a new adventure awaiting.

Today i have mostly been listening to America – ventura highway

Take care flower..........maybe i will look you up, if i end up passing through your town. :-)
