pre-occupation

i know you know that my fire's out. yes, i am mildly worried about this, but i've got a three-year program to slog through, a significant easing of the yoke come july, and vacation coming up this weekend, so i keep plugging along.

one thing i realized just tonight is that i might regret that i do not have a job that allows me to do much in the way of expressing my own style, applying creativity, or honing my natural talents.

if anyone can come up with a way i could work that into my career, i'd be endlessly grateful.
