Scott's Thoughts

It's all relative

I just got back from a week plus vacation from my relatives actually my sister's in-laws. Her husband's folks have a place in Florida and they invited everyone down for Christmas; they even paid for the airfare.

They have a place just 45 minutes from Orlando so we went a saw some of the cool things out there. We went to Epcot center one day and a place called Arabian nights another. We also went out to the bay and attempted some deep sea fishing but the seas were choppy and my sister chicken out before we got to the fishing spot.

I get along with my sister's in-laws just fine but they have different likes and opinion on things. The best way to put it is that they are meat and potatoes people with a touch of ignorance. My family likes to eat at exotic places and spending time doing things, my in-laws pretty much stick with white food and rush through things. they also have no concept of how to drive in heavy traffic and blame everyone around them for bad driving meanwhile driving huge rigs that they have problems manuevering. They don't seem to even try looking at things from other people's perspective.

Oh well, they could be a whole lot worse. They like us well enough and are always fighting over the priviledge of paying for the bill at wherever we go. You have to be quick and sneaky if you want to try and pay for something with them around.

Back home some interesting things are starting to develop. Ry's got fired from his job where Richard, Jenn and know Mark work at. It was no surprise to any of us and I was surprised after what I was told that it didn't happen sooner. Anways now there is talking asking Ry to move out. We basically do not want to create a Jeremy situation where Rich and I are screwed out of $6500 in back rent.

I still have mixed feelings about my new job. I'm not sure if I'm ultimately going to stay or not. I'm torn between the nice pay and relaxed work and the crazy office politics and sales-people personalities and working with George. I don't feel real challeneged either and unless I start doing development, to be honest I'm not really needed. I liked the people I worked with at my old job but it took a while to get like that with them.

With all the stuff going on both home and away I'm starting to develop a case of wanderlust. I'm not sure what I want to do anymore. I have a lot of things going on here so I can't justify doing anything about it. I can't really point my finger at what is wrong, just that I'm unhappy. I know I'm lonely but I'm starting to to think that is just going to have to be the norm for me. In a few years it won't even matter to me anymore as my youth will be gone. Granted I won't be old, but I won't be young either.
