maximo

it all happened rather quickly over the last day but i had an interview this morning at an investment bank and this afternoon they made me an offer and so i spoke to my manager at my current job and told him i was going to resign. 


the new job will be more difficult and there are some early 7am starts and there will be on-call. its going to be difficult, but it also looks like i will learn some interesting things and i know i would not have, had a stayed where i was. i would have just been picking up the money, but i would have been wasting my time professionally and i dont want to waste time. if you spend a year or 6 months at a place you want to have gotten some good experience and skills out of it and i wouldnt have in this case. time to go while i still know how to do some things and before i get used to the easy money. the new place will be hard but so be it. 


i hate moving jobs and i hate having to learn the systems of places when you start new, but i also hate the idea of just rotting away somewhere and just picking up pay cheques for work i dont really deem important or of any value professionally. i dont want to be the smartest person in the room because i am not very smart and i want to learn from people more talented than me. maybe i am supposed to be just motivated in trying to find a well paying easy job, which i have now, but i am not and i cant force myself to be. 


today i have mostly been listening to maximo park - hips and lips. great new song.
