I love what I do too - just 3 months ago I had an article published, as I do from time to time, but this time I noticed a want ad from the publishers in the same issue and applied for it - with the perfect ammo to take in. I've been there two weeks and I love it so much I can't believe it. I can't wait to get there and I can't bear to leave. Jobs aren't supposed to be so much fun! I'm frightened I'll wake up and it was all a dream. You are living the parallel life to me!

Stasis (both professional and personal) born of comfort and timidity is being shed from the lives of so many people right now that it almost _can't_ be coincidence. Of course, a pragmatic materialist would say that the current mood of expectation and anxiety in our national scene is probably creating the pressure that is impelling these decisions in so many individual lives. Regardless, it's awe-inspiring to watch behavior-waves like this, no matter how exhillarating or distressing they may be unto themselves. They offer a promise of great power and motivation, if we can surf those currents towards your own ends. (This is all feeling very Rob Breszny...) I'm one of those floating on that same current right now, and am looking forward to fresh and wild waters after some time in the workaday doldrums. Good on you for providing an example of taking a risk and landing on your feet, Ariel. Vive la difference!
