Archive for May, 2007
In the beginning of April I hit my one year anniversary at my current job. Two weeks later my small startup was bought out by a very not-small company. I got a significant raise, and there's the possibility (that I'm still wading through) that with my now-vested stock options I've made an assload of cash on the spot. Things are more stable for me now than they ever have been; certainly moreso than they were looking back on where I was four years ago.
And that's probably why I feel so antsy lately.
And it's times like this that I really feel like just disappearing and popping up somewhere else. The year anniversary was really hard to deal with even though I misunderstood why at the time. I originally thought I was feeling weird about it because I was waiting for that stability to be ripped away from me. In actuality, I was feeling weird because it was the final validation of how complacent and boring things have become.
I know overall this is a positive thing, and I should be happy for the fact that I eat regularly now and can not only pay my bills but have money left over to buy things. But somehow I feel meh about all of it.
I think maybe I have a thyroid problem or something.

introspection
This guy has showed up across the street from my apartment every Saturday for the last month. Little things like this remind me of why I love NYC.
