Just about finished with school with my second degree and people keep asking me what I want to do...I keep telling them I don't know. I still want a career in law enforcement and I dream about the day that I can get lasik done and work for Madison County. Madison county is just the right size for a department-not too big and not too small- and enough calls to keep it interesting. Wishing you a speedy departing from Philly, Kai's "little" brother!

I hear you and I hear you and I hear you. Of course, I've always wanted to go to magic school, so the HP books hit me right in the heart of my fantasy life. I think there are things worth living and dying for, but I don't know how many of them are suitable as careers. It's a compromise I feel like I make all the time: what I do with my work life is pretty meaningless, except that it supports the rest of my very satisfying and meaningful life. It's a good topic to open up for general discussion: the work/life balance from the perspective of getting enough meaning out of all the time an effort we put into it. I would LOVE a long chat this weekend, and I can't even let myself think about the chance you could be here for reals in less than a year, or I will shake apart from excitement. I'm so sorry that things are going all crappy for you, but baby, if that's how Philly's gonna treat you, it deserves to become dust on your shoes.
