So, it's actually happening. What I had been going for all this time since starting, pretty soon, cross my fingers, kiss the Buddha and all that, I will likely be getting a promotion in the next weeks. Of course, this coincides with a month in Germany to which, I plan on learning and absorbing, but also looking forward to that extended time away.
That time away that I crave so constantly, that time away that feeds my soul and keeps me breathing. Every so often, mainly, often, I have to shake up my world and get out of here. It doesn't matter if I've been there before, what matters is that it's different than what I go through on a daily basis.
The bus ride every morning is making me insane, the walk to the office, making me crazier and the monotony of my life right now has been eating away at me. And now, this chance, to get out of it and try something new. Go fresh back into the international venue and see how I operate...this time. Hopefully it's different than my last long-term stint when I was so in depth with introspective it would make a yoga master puke.
Of course, in true corporate fashion, nothing is "final" yet but by man, I'm sure it will be soon be and I will be finalizing flights and apartments, getting travel advances and taking off for a month. I really can't wait. In the back of my mind, I see this as my chance to maybe, just maybe, if it feels right, go somewhere for good. Take the initiative, meet the right people and have that chance that so very few have --- get paid to live in another country. But, this is just between you and me, always thinking ahead I guess, covering my bases and all that.
In reality, I just want a Bretzel and Kaffee for breakfast and my world is usually quite content.
Maybe that's what I've been lacking.
