is it back to the grind for me?


Upon my return to Shanghai, in fact the impetus for that trip has yielded positive results. I have been offered a job. And just the kind that I like. Short-term. At the latest I would be finished on the 9th of June. That is almost so soon it seems silly to even start, but they want me anyway. So I may be back in the working world for a moment. I say "may" because it has not been solidified, ABSOLUTELY. There is of course some hassle. It is this hassle that allows me a few ore days to sleep in, stay up late, wander the streets of shanghai and buy cheap DVDs and indulge my imagination. I am living on the edge of a self-imposed boredom while I wait for the final word about the job. But meanwhile, I sit around looking fabulous, or alone in my loft... where my computer can't even see me... and I wait.

with each day that passes I think that there is a day I could have learned something, earned something or done something. yet in the last three days I have done none of those things. and I, of course, am the only one to blame for that. all I want now is some resolution to the matter. The outcome is become less important. I just want to know and start moving in one direction, moving in any direction. and until that phone rings again, I am not moving at all. paralysis.

I am to remember this:
"Though no money, we're among the richer folk for we are rich with love in fives."
