The Last Few Days...

Fortune says: "Sometimes traveling to a new place leads to great transformation" ... And, boy, do I need some transformation.

Technically, I don't exactly start my adventure for another 10 days, but it's my last few days here in the Corporate World.

And, honestly. Things couldn't be more awkward.

I say this in a loving way, really I do, but I can't help but feel like I really am just that replaceable.

The Marketing group has moved on, doing what they do best -- coping with the added pressure of losing someone.

But. It feels weird. Really weird. And I can't help but feel torn between two things.

A. Living out my few days here with a smile.

B. Getting the 'h' outta here for the sake of my sanity.

Alas, I prevail. And stick it out with as much biting my tongue as possible. I never said it would be easy.

In other news, things are REALLY starting to get down to the wire. And I don't really have a plan. All I know is -- I need to start packing. Not only my backpack, but my life as well.

I have this awful condo to contend with and so far, it's winning. So, I'm trying to mend my pride and succeed with a victory (as much as possible) in the end. We'll see what happens, but I know it's going to involve a lot of heavy lifting. Boo.

Sidenote: The time it took me to write this, I down an entire cup of hot chocolate. And I will not make any apologies for it. It. Was. Delicious.

Here we go...

Wow. I cannot believe it's T-Minus 3 weeks. THREE WEEKS! OMG.

It's funny because when I tell people I'm leaving and moving to Australia, they always ask me the usual questions:

"How long will you be there?"
"Do you have a job?"
"Where are you living?"
"Do you know anyone there?"

I can only answer 1 out of those 4 questions, which is never satisfying. I will be there for 5 months (give or...give).

And there are already bets out for whether or not I'll be returning. My mom says yes. My co-workers say no.

Here we go. I mean...here I go. Eeek!

O. And for fun -- here's pic of me at work on Halloween. Yup, you guessed it. I was Sarah Palin. It. was. awesome. Dontcha know?
