Thoughts

“Aren’t you Excited? It’s the first day of the rest of your life!”

Yes, yes I am. These were the words I heard this morning, and truth be told – there is an aura of Kindergarten-ess to it. I’m loving it, but realize there is a gradual transition that will take place. 

To be honest, my official last day as a corporate executive is on Friday. Yesterday, I had lunch with a friend in the cafeteria. My former boss saw us and gave the most eerie, cold, harsh stare at my colleague. As if she was trying to inspect and study his face for clues as to who he is. It is and will remain to be the most disconcerting spooky face I’ve ever seen on anyone ever. This woman is in some need of self searching, introspection. It’s no longer my job to feel sorry for her… 

The conversation was about egg salad sandwiches, his desire to be a bellboy in Hawaii but not having the balls to actually do it, and of course  – if you spend 15 minutes with me – Christmas music.

The long and short of the story is – I am now working from home for the rest of the week! Woot! 🙂 So starts the planning and magic! 

Most of my work will be done at home, since most of my instruments are here. I have worked from home before, but I also have an office in downtown Manhattan that I haven’t seen in a very long time that I’m considering going back to. The possibilities are open to me. 

I have been planning for this for a while, so I do have a considerable amount of work to do – including formalizing plans and expanding on song ideas I’ve had. It feels like a big pile that I have to start tackling the pieces. 

That being said, I realize that most people don’t quit their jobs like I do. I am going to try and blog about the experience. Some days are going to be amazing where other days are going to suck. I know this. It’s good to have a record of it so you can take the journey with me. For those who live vicariously and those who want to try it in the future. 🙂 Let’s fail together!
