Time to Get Out of Dodge!

I'm blogging during lunch because I'm tired of reaching out to editors who could care less about my clients, tired of checking emails only to discover I have an impotence problem, and finally because I technically can't leave the building as I'm the only one in the office...once again.

I need a change.

Seriously...I'm sick of the Bay Area. I'm sick of the Silicon Valley, I'm sick of the stay at home moms that make it impossible for me to hop in and out during lunch, I'm sick of traffic, I'm sick of paying exorbitant prices for rent, I'm sick of marketing flaks, I'm sick of technology. I'm sick- that, or I'm just tired. Either way I need a change. A BIG one.

I want to move out of the state. Mike and I have talked about it and depending on whether we can actually afford to live here... we just might (although we'd have to wait, at least until Mike finishes at SJSU). At this point I wouldn't mind moving to a podunk little town where nothing much really happens and the neighbors all love each other. A place where I don't end the day only to pick it back up 45 minutes later and continue working again. Where a 5 minute trip home doesn't end up being 40-45 minutes with traffic. Where people are friendly and not judgemental. Where I can get in and out of the grocery in less than an hour. Where I can tell someone my honest opinion without worrying about the repurcussions. Where I can get in and out of a mall without wanting to kill someone. When a lunch break means not spending 5 minutes to eat at your desk.

Somewhere not the Silicon Valley.

I'm seriously considering this one because...what's really holding me here anyway???

Okay move.

Where the eff will you work? Podunk Little Town's PR agency? Become a teacher? A housewife?

And a little burb like that, it will take you 45 minutes to GET to the mall, so who care if you're in and out in 5 anyways.

YOU ARE JUDGEMENTAL TOO. When youre sitting in Podunk Little Town's PTA meeeting you will want to be strangling all those ho's anyways. And judging them. You'll be dark adn twisty.

None of what you described you actually want. Except maybe the no traffic part. But thats everyone. Oh and the job thing. But we all know what i think about you and jobs. you will be unhappy for the next 20 yrs until you run your own business.
