Freedom and Pride

Ive been ultra busy over the past month, and didn't even get a chance to enjoy the three weeks of on and off vacation of Sukkot, Yom Kippur and New Years. Between school and being called in from my work (on a whim by my boss deciding that he is g-d and vacation is over when he says it is), there was no vacation time for me.

The big news going on with me right now is that I quit my job in the think tank. Some could say I was weak, but I don’t really care, when I realized that my boss was getting to me physically because I wouldn’t let him get to me mentally, I realized my time had come. So now I am unemployed, happy and healthy :)

I have a world of opportunity available to me. What to do…what to do…

I had a really great revelation moment today, when the person who was hired to direct Hillel in my stead (started his first day today) was overwhelmed with people interested in being involved with Hillel this year at the stand that we put up every year on the first day of school. We did that! I left a legacy that I actually saw with my own eyes!

Last year, we fought just to get people to sign onto our mailing list, but today, people were flocking to sign up…they actually searched out the Hillel stand! Word of mouth spreads like wild fire. For the first time since I left the director position, I felt satisfied that all of my hard work would not be in vein.

And let me have this egotistical moment…

DAMN IM PROUD!

We achieved what we set out to do, and even though Im not there, no paper house was blown away. We created a viable, dynamic, living organization…I am happy.

Now, I think the time has come for me to find something from which I can make a career. I'm sick of floating, its time to find myself.
In the meanwhile though, Ill finish papers, and have loads of fun getting to re-member myself
