Excitement

I learned yesterday that there is a potential headhunting mission in progress, and I am the scalp potentially being sought. I don't know that I'm prepared to be scalped in what I'm not sure is a good cause, but it's very flattering (not least because it's now not only my brother who gets head-hunted!).

Interestingly enough I told my bosses that I was thoroughly bored a few weeks ago, and they tried to give me more of the same work to do. I'm not sure what aspect of throughly bored they were having difficulty with.

The nice thing about my field is that I can move around a bit, and then end up where I started if I want. At the moment though, I'd quite like to get out of this building. It's all a little claustrophobic, and I've got to the stage where I know loads of people. Which is comforting in one way, but also means that you get into a massive comfort zone, and I'm not really old enough (or senior enough) to be in that sort of comfort zone. So who knows? Maybe it's time to move on completely.

I occasionally think fondly about not being a lawyer. But when I seriously think about it, I usually realise that is a symptom of being dissatisfied; I do actually like my job. And anyway, I can't think of anything else (a) I'd rather do, (b) which would pay enough, and (c) that I'd be able to do. Which is a bit limiting.

Of course, what I'd really like is to give up work completely. I know people say that you'd have to do something, but at the moment, doing nothing for a good long time really, really appeals. In any event, there's loads of things to do; travelling, reading, studying. I could carry on, but the sight of the grass on the other side is rather blinding me.

P'raps I'd best go do some work.
