That for which I have no answer


So I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my life. I don’t wanna be one of those people who end up with nothing to live for and a mid-life crisis that brings with it millions of dollars in debt. That thought scares me. The thing is, I haven’t found what I really want to do. I like to do a lot of different things, and I don’t have enough presence of mind to realize that Im wasting time. Maybe I should work on that. What I did realize though, is that I want to work with the final consumer. Not sit in front of a computer all day and edit 65,536 rows of data.

On the same note: I’ve been working a lot on this in-house application and trying to make it better and blah blah for this financial firm. Halfway through the day, I stop and wonder why I’m doing this: I have no answer. How does it matter if a button is 3 pixels away from the other button or 5? I have no answer. Then I remembered a newsletter sent out by Paulo Coelho. The theme of the newsletter was what the society considers to be okay.

Oh well.
