earl grey and other noble folk

Just returned from a lovely little dinner with A. (formerly known as Stacia on this site, just FYI to future historians)

Very nice to sit and sip tea at Samovar whilst exchanging recollections of adventures past, yet relishing the eternal now. Hmm...the tea seems to've gone to my head.

Sending a bit of white light out to A as a thank you for pointing out that you can choose to enjoy the now and still work on changing your current circumstances. In all fairness, Mom pointed out much the same thing yesterday and will get some white light herself too. Unfortunately, I was in the office during that particular conversation and a bit distracted. Somehow the tea and environs this evening pushed me over the edge into accepting what I already knew.

For anyone who's just tuned in, I'm feeling rather frustrated at work and have been wishing it would all just go away. In classic Mikey fashion, I decided to see it all as an awful experience in hopes that I'd spur myself into changing it. Funny thing is that, for the most part, work's pretty easy. Nice people and usually not much to complain about in the way of workload. It's been kind of exhausting not liking it.

So, I'm going to try something new. Given my penchant for just going with the flow, this might not be the easiest thing for me to do, but I'll try. I'm going to try and like work again and...wait for it...actually still change the path I've been travelling career-wise to something more satisfying.

No fair calling me on it if I still kvetch about work now and again. Kvetching about work has become a way for me to test out turns of phrase and vent frustrations that would be plain mean if used in context of another human being. Besides, the next three or four weeks are going to be busy enough that I'll have to implement the new path plan in fits and starts which will be frustrating enough to deserve a kvetch or two. Better inch by inch than not at all though, right?

In slightly related news, tonight A asked if I've ever tried yogo. This was odd since Mom mentioned the same thing to me yesterday. Several minutes after I passed that coincidence on to A, some random hottie passed by. He was in the midst of a conversation with a friend, but all we heard was, "Yoga is very relaxing."

The universe keeps whispering advice to me, and it's time to listen up. Anyone know a good do it yourself yoga site?
