More out of life

I recently returned to my normal job from a period of six months secondment. I find my current job rather boring. The other one was more interesting, with more money, better hours and a good work atmosphere. This of course has made me rather unhappy to be back. So this brings me to a bit of a crossroad. The fact that the entire job is on shaky ground does not help.

I am applying for any job I can get. Even part time. Actually most of the applications are for part- time jobs. That is about all there is on offer in my company. But I study part-time, so I may finish quicker, and in turn get a new, better job. Very good.

But the point is that I am at that crossroads. I don't think it is the dreaded mid-life crisis. It has been going on for a couple of years now. My study has given me purpose and direction. Plus I have no great need for a Harley Davidson. I wouldn't mind a Harley Davidson, admittedly, but I don't really need one..

I reflect on the fact that my life has been fairly full, quite a bit of adventure, and a lot of fun. I don't want that to stop. Travel is my big buzz. I love it. My spouse likes to stay home and watch television. There is a gap and it is getting bigger. A sit on the lounge and read the newspaper type, I am not. I am not into skydiving or any of that stuff either, but I do want to live.

I just know I need more. I see the answer in women. One with a spark of adventure, and an interest in travel. It is not a lonely hearts thing. I know a couple of women. In fact, I know a few. It is finding the right one that counts. I am pretty sure I know her as well.

I don't know quite where I will end up, but something tells me life is going to get more interesting..
