So here I am in the
Auckland airport again, noding on one of those strange little
internet kiosks. We had a huge
tailwind comning from
LA which means we arrived here an hour early. Which
in turn means an extra hour hanging around on this concourse waiting for my connection.
hoofuckingray. I have been to
Auckland 5 times now and I have never left the airport. I could go and enter the
guess how many blocks in the lego gorilla competition but Im saving that for when I get really bored.
LA wasnt too bad - I caught up with a friend who lives there and,
just for a change we went drinking. I ended up passing out on his couch at about 4am so in the end I didnt make much use of that room at the
Sheraton.... except to hold a phone interview with an
HR person from the LA based tech consulting firm that have been sniffing around. We arranged that their construction manager would call me in Australia to
talk further.
They havent made an offer or anything, but they seem very interested an I think maybe they will. This leaves me with an interesting problem....
what the hell do I do now? I have already accepted an offer from a similar
Melbourne-based firm and I have a meeting to discuss this with my current employer
first thing tomorrow.
Sometimes I think i just want to take the offer in Melbourne.
I love that city - I am not finished with it yet. I have friends there. Do I really want to
run away again. To start all over again in a
new city where I know noone?
It isnt easy, I know Ive done it before. Besides Im not sure I really want to live in LA. Parts of it are
funky -
very funky indeed but most of it seems to be quite
dull and dirty
on the other hand -
What am I thinking? Here is the opportunity to go and work in the US in cutting edge technology. I want to travel. Am I really going to turn this down because I am scared of being
lonely when I am lonely already? After all
the last time I ran away it turned out to be the best move I ever made
in the long run
Once again I have some decisions to make.
