So leaving Monash is kinda inspiring.
I don't know that going to the new place is necessarily exciting or inspiring, but it's a job, with new challenges, and a new skillset to work on. All good.
And every now and then I catch myself doing the inertia/nostalgia thing (actually, quite often) and thinking that Monash *could* be such a lovely place to work, if ...
But none of the ifs ever happen, and it's really *not* a lovely place to work at the moment, so, hey, jumping ship.
And I'm all inspired now. I do this every now and then, and I'll get over it , but I got sick of spending my life sleeping.
And I remembered that it's Ok for rabbit to spend her life sleeping, but I can go out and do other stuff *on my own*. Maybe. We'll see :)
So I'm doing SCA heavy combat again - avoiding the barony politics and maybe doing a feast or two, but mostly hitting things - and I spent all weekend on the bike, and arranged markets & cake in St Kilda with a few people. And I start fencing next week, and Benno's coming over to start work on a new geek project with me, and I'm looking into folk guitar lessons, and stuff.
We'll see :) Some of it might even last.
But I'm weary of spending my life in front of a computer screen. There's a world out there. I haven't cooked, baked, made anything - *done* anything in months.
And it's easy to blame Monash, for sucking my life away. But it's my life, neh?

It's not like you don't have the height and build for it, after all.
I say if you *want* to fight heavy, give it a shot.
