time's awasting

Spent a considerable portion of my Saturday looking a bike trail that I had heard so much about. When I finally found it, it was narrow as fuck, and tailored for very experienced riders. Inexperienced riders like myself have no chance surviving that trail. It was hard enough just to find it amidst the bushes let alone ride it with my bike. But I did find quite a few housing developments. Actually quite a lot of housing developments, ranch condos, (which I didn't know existed) and condos, townhouses and brick homes of whatever price range. That's the thing with GA. It's like it's this piece of land, that just started. There are very few old developments that lend to its history so everything is no new agey and plastic. Like a plastic city. It's fine if some part of downtown is filled with skyscrapers and tall buildings, but every part of the city seems to be demolishing the old buildings yielding to new developments. So it's not authentic, like I am living in some new age, 2050 town filled with people with ancient ideals. At least have the renaissance attitude to go with your renaissance feel. Instead it's all conservative and restrictive. Restrictive, country folk in their ranch condos.

Enough about GA.

The new job. Enough about that.

Whenever they mention goals and objectives I cringe. Because a) I am not sure I will be there when the next review comes around through either by my choice or their choice and b) Based on whatever comes of the objectives, it will determine my path, that is if I want to be there or not, if that is what I choose to do a year from now. I know what I want to be...working for the UN as an international trade attorney. But I have to be sure that the goal that they are setting is in line with the goal I set for myself. So whenever they say, we need to discuss these goals and objectives, I wonder, should I also discuss mine with you, so in this relationship of a job, if one person is not meeting the goal then maybe, we need to revise it. Needless to say that I believe it should be mutual. I digress. Starting daydreaming again.

So much of my time is spent away from myself, tryng to no think about my problem. But I won't talk about it here.

Pictures from my trip were extensively scanned and should be available soon. I just have to think of a cute blurb to go with each picture. But the new mainpage picture is a good feel of the antique quality living I like ti see around me.
