Welcome to our second house… SPIN Caffe. We love this place and some of the employees already know us because we come here almost every week at least once. The hubster likes to come here because it’s a welcomed change of environment. You know… from school to nice, hip, great coffee place.
I love it because I get to drink great coffee and think about my life (while trying not to interrupt the hubster every 5 seconds). [By the way, those pictures were taken with my MacBook iSight. I think it's a pretty good camera!]
Last week I met with one of the hubster’s coworkers (the art teacher). She is awesome. She knows how to do everything… sewing, painting, knitting, spinning… you name it. So, she was gracious enough to have me and my new friend-coworker R for a night of spinning. No… is not stationary bike related. It is wool fiber related. As in making yarn. It was so nice to be in the same room with people that have the same interests and really appreciate sharing their talents. Hopefully next week, I’ll meet with R on our day off to knit and chitchat.
I’m at a crossroads here. I sort of want a different job. Although I like what I’m doing now and appreciate all the company does for its employees (incentive-wise), I feel I could be doing better somewhere else. I think I have a lot to offer… not sure what I should be doing though. I know I want to do something with a positive impact, I want to help people (no, I don’t want to be a doctor)… it is not just about being in a better place economically… it is about feeling like I have a purpose and translate who I am to a cause of some sort. I know I am still young and have time… I’ve just been feeling like I need to know now and stressing about it a bit. I have ideas of things I would like to do, but all of those involve me leaving my present job and lose some of the financial security. I don’t think I have the strength right now to go through financial hardship, but I’m thinking about it. Let’s see where this path takes me. 
You are so taking me there to get me all caffeined-up next time I come to visit!!! I wanna vibrate so much, you can see my molecules
Oh, my. Me high on caff… can u think of a worst scenario???
Anyway, I say don’t change completely… complement what u r doing. Try to find some type of volunteer work that will allow you to do some more tasks at your work. What type of jobs would those be… hmm, not sure, but for some reason leaflet folding comes to my mind, even though they have machines that do that now… my, that was a long sentence
You are married, own a house, have two pets (three if we count the hubster), have a real-world job, and have creative hobbies… and you still want to do more??? I get tired of just thinking about it. I think I’ll take a nap now. In the lab.
