Well, after not even five days, I am already leaving. No, not for good (this place continues to grow on me), but simply for a vacation.
I don’t start my new job for almost a whole month still. I took so much time off because I haven’t had more than a day off between jobs in far too long. That wouldn’t be such a huge deal were it not for the fact that my jobs have taken me from Minnesota to Maryland, back to Minnesota, to Wyoming, to Salt Lake, to Park City. It gets exhausting when you spend your one day off driving and moving. I knew I needed some time off until I started this new job so that I could go see my parents, which I have not been able to do in far too long. I’d have started next week sometime, but I figured it was pointless to start a job in the middle of December with the holidays right around the corner. So January 2nd it is. But now I have so much time off I almost don’t know what to do with it. Key word being almost.
I’m taking off on a see-everybody road trip. After several changes of plans, I’m now voyaging to Minnesota, with stops in Park City and the Black Hills. I’ll be back January 1st, just in time to start the new job January 2nd.
I really don’t want to take off after just moving in, but the thing is, I need to… for my mental health. I’m starting to get bored with not working and I really need to get my mind off certain things (people), and I can’t do that so well when I’m all alone in a foreign land. I need my friends to preoccupy me. I’ve done a lot the past few days, met a lot of new people, but it’s not enough. I still think about it, I can’t stop, and it’s eating me. This is so much harder than I thought it’d be. Granted long-distance driving is a horrible thing to do in times like this, the time with friends the driving leads to is well worth it. And so now I’m off… five days after arriving.

Watch what you say. Due to excessive spambots, the following words within a comment automatically send it to the trash without my ever knowing: any word associated with the primary male and female reproductive parts, any word you might find on a porn site (including the relatively innocent and multi-functional "breasts"), any prescription drug name (yes, even prozac and amoxicillan are off limits), any form of the F word, and "mp3" is out too. Sorry. If for any reason you need to use words like these within the comment, I suggest you get creative and find another way of saying it. Also, because filters don't care how innocent your comment may be, words like title, analyst, cocker spaniel, Emily Dickinson, etc. are off limits. Can you guess why?
