Hmm... ok, so I left the site for a bit and then came back, just as it seems my remaining friends were leaving. Seems like I'll have to be nice to people now!
Trying to figure out uploading pictures onto here so I seem a little more welcoming. 200KB seems quite small-- all but one of my pics are too big and I haven't got the time to edit any right now. I will, though. I don't really look like Marvin.
For those who have chosen to read back through my blog, I took an interview for a permanent position at work on Thursday (as opposed to temping, which I'm doing at the moment). Interview went well, and I almost even convinced myself it's something I want to do, but I'm still not sure. I think even if I get the job, I may still turn it down.
This is mainly because my life has a dichotomy:
Languages Not very exciting to use, but they present a lot of long-term satisfaction.
Music There's nothing I enjoy more in the world, but I find it a bit meaningless in the long-term.
Sadly, my current job is only scratching the languages side of things (selling biotechnology supplies to scandinavia) and playing in a band (one option open to me) would probably only scratch the music side. In a way, it's like being bi-- it's pretty hard to find a way to satsify both sides of my personality with any one career.
I think I know the "ladyboy" that will satisfy me, though-- the idea of an international production company. Ok, those 3 words are a massive simplification of a large business plan I formed in a cafe in Malmo this summer, but it'll have to do for now.
Trouble is, it's a great idea but I'm kinda crapping my pants at the thought of where and how to start. I'm not sure whether that means I'm onto a winner or if something in me is screaming "No! Don't do it!" for a reason. I have a massive urge to play safe and stick with the job I have, making some money at least, but the adventurer in me is asking, What if?
I think it may come down to whichever side screams loudest. My friend Dan has a similar idea (minus the languages), and I'm hoping we can share the effort a bit. Then perhaps I won't feel the need to soil myself.

As for the job, you've got to follow your heart because that's all that'll satisfy.
