On Hold
Why is so much of life waiting? Whether I'm waiting to find out if I got a job interview, a job, or into school, it seems like everything these days* is hurry up and wait. The funny thing is that I was feeling pretty good yesterday until I got my silent bad news. Last week, I found $40 on the sidewalk. How could things go wrong? It looked like it was all coming together, and then, kaboom. I'm back to waiting to see what I'll be doing with my life in the next few months.

I'm also in a holding pattern, waiting to hear back from graduate schools, trying to count down the months until I can leave the job that gives me the hates for school. It is quite frustrating. HURRY HURRY HURRY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT.
ReplyDeleteI swear we must be twins separated by a country. My entire life has been hurry hurry hurry wait... And always waiting... Waiting for "something." Waiting for the next thing. Is this just a US thing? Is this our generation? What in the hell are we waiting for? (yes, I know - the responses, the bonuses, the reviews, the FIX... I don't know about you, but it's always just outside of my reach..)
ReplyDeleteCan I tell you when I was waiting for a response from my MBA school, I wanted it so bad I could feel it in my fingernails. I got in - and finished and graduated and it didn't change anything... I'm still waiting...
What in the hell are we waiting for? (that is definately rethorical. :)) What is it? Will we always be striving to that next thing, that next fix?
(sorry, I've had a bit too much wine tonight and it's freaking late. Feel free to delete this crazy ass comment.)
