Soooo I have decided to ditch my career plans for the year and focus on other things. In a way it is a relief. I am not ready.
- Eating healthy - gosh I would like for this to go away from my list of things to improve, for once!
- Some new workout routine. Karate or something? Stop laughing I say.
- I am going to work on my book for sure, get a rough draft by end of the year, decent goal? Go for a writing course?
- Take some space science related courses on Coursera. I am sooper excited about this.
- Get my everyday routine in order, so there can be some semblance on balance at home.
- Go for some local meet ups?
Why do I get so quickly bored of things. I dont respect what I do well. It is not that what I do is not good, it is me, I dont respect it. I always need the challenge and the newness of it all. Once I know how things work, I lose interest. Why do I go after difficult things? Why cant I be happy doing what I do best? My Women stuff is also a little boring. I cannot for the life of me do the same thing again and again. DH wants to run a half marathon and I dont want to, because..been there done that. Hopeless?
Tried this Strengths Finder thingie. It says I should go back to Verification, :--P because I apparently like the challenge of digging into things and root causing and analysing. Restorative. I dont want to.
Am I doomed?
Listening to the book Elon Musk. I love that man. I am soo hooked to the book I dont want to drop it. The author is good. I am transported to Africa, while on the elliptical, or while driving. Hearing of Elon's schedule shuttling between his companies and govt is head spinning. So much passion. What stuck out so far is, when Silicon Valley was moving toward making quick, easy money on the internet, as in Twitter, and apps industry, here is this man, who brought back life into the Silicon Valley culture, again doing something disruptive. I love him, and would love to meet him, and may be work for him at some point? Technology invigorates me and excites me. Not churning the same piece of code over and over, but doing something dramatic. Dreams will be dreams?!
I am so fired up...I am distracted. I am ready to move on. But I am not able to. Boss wants me to stay put until end of the year. And he wants me to trust him. He is a 25 year veteran, and he never fails to remind me on it. And also I am tired, of doing the uphill battle. So there. But I made sure it was a win-win, not a I accept defeat situation.
Am going to get active on Twitter. Quick flow of thoughts. Dulquer is there. Elon is there. A response from them would be lovely. Can I add them to my list of goals :--P

SK,
I took up karate at the grand old age of 34 and have earned few belts only because i was tired of staying out in the cold waiting for the kids to finish class, i thoroughly enjoy each of my lesson, so what if you embarrass your kids, thats their worry , not yours :)
If i can do it , you can do it, take it up I say!!!!

I plan to start Taekwondo next month when the daughter moves to the adult class. I will be sitting there anyway, might as well use that time. It's a good thing to pick up - strengthens you in a very empowering way.
