No more sad songs!

Hey! Remember me? No? Okay, just thought I'd ask.

Spent part of last week in Salt Lake City, which is currently the most likely place that I'll relocating to in August. I've gotten an unbelievable amount of shit about this -- apparently people are personally offended that I would even consider such a thing, but, you know, I can't make everyone happy. And, to be frank, a lot of the efforts I've made in the past to try to make other people happy seemed to backfire, or have cost me a lot of money, so enough already. I want to move to Utah, and I am presumably in a position where I can do so (pending approval from work, or a decision to finally quit this job of mine). I think my plan is to spring the Utah thing on my manager in the morning and then promptly flit off to Italy for two weeks and see if I have a job when I get back. Does it make more sense to wait until I get back? I may not be thinking straight. I've been spending a lot of time with my laptop this weekend and writing a lot of pointless (POINTLESS) reports, so I may be a bit muddy-headed. I assume I will be able to keep my job in Utah. I also assume I won't want to keep it, but there's something to be said for sticking with it at least until I have some sort of grad school/career/living-on-a-commune plan arranged. So, so, so.... that's what I will do.

I wish I was more excited about Italy, but right now it's hard to imagine being able to get out of the ghastly nest of work I've surrounded myself with. I suppose if I just leave without finishing it all, they will just have to decide whether or not to fire me. That would not be so bad. Even if I couldn't get unemployment -- I have been saving saving money for just such an ocassion, I suppose. But I probably won't get fired. I will just get dozens of emails asking me where my work is, and when I get home from Italy my inbox will be overflowing and I will hopefully be so very well-rested that it won't even bother me. Ahaha. Although things always seem to bother me, but I would like to work on that.

On an unrelated note, all of my Pandora stations seem to be 95% depressing music. What's up with that? Oh, except now it's playing "Daydream Believer". That's just funny. Also I wish I'd bothered to learn from Italian. Oh wells.
