the brass ring
andy is having a big of a quandry with his current employment situation. i, too, have been giving my future occupation a lot of thought, and "the brass ring" came to mind. i think i've always been pretty driven. but sometimes i wonder if that has been a detriment, or if that's really where i want to go.
it's so cold in my office. i really would like some coffee. but at the same time i'm dying for marble slab. would eating ice cream and drinking coffee be a weird combination? weird enough for people to give me a strange and curious look?
i have been perusing (as an aside, for those of you who think "peruse" means to look something over superficially, it actually means the exact opposite. merriam webster defines it as: to examine or consider with attention and in detail. just so ya know) that website that cit put on her blog. it definitely got me thinking about secrets. i even thought to myself "wow, i don't think i have any secrets." at least by the definition that i've NEVER told anyone else. information might be divvied up amongst a small group of people, but i don't have ANYTHING that nobody knows.... but guess what, the more i thought about it, i DO have secrets. it's funny, too, though because after i realized i did have secrets, my first thought was "i wonder why i never told andy that." and if i told him, it would no longer be a secret. such circular thinking, i love it.
