Saturday thoughts..
January 30, 2010 - 3:44 pm

While riding up the escalator I overhead part of the conversation of a high school couple (I assume) in front of me.

He said, "So your mom is pretty young?"

She replied, "Yes, had me when she was young."

With no hesitation, "Is she cute?"

I didn't quite hear what she said next as they reached the top. I think she was smiling in her reply. Just struck me as an odd thing for him to ask.

I spent a bit of time sitting in a chair and watching people walk about. I pondered how easy it was it pick out the ancestry of some folks and not so easy for others. It occurred to me how very similair all people are.. and how we go through such efforts (some far more effort than others) to appear to be different.

I wonder if any other species on Earth cares at all to differentiate themselves from each other?

At work.. I struggle. I see people who have done this job for 10 years and I think.. I like where they are. I like what they do. The issue is getting from here to there. The issue is getting clients. I very much enjoy working with people that I know... but am not so good at building a new relationship. Give me existing accounts and I'm good... make me find my own.. and I dunno. Just not my thing.

There's no choice though.. finding your own is the only way to go.

Next week... that process really starts. I waffle from "I can do this" to "What the fuck am I thinking?"

In the end though.. if one wants to change, one must do something different, right?
