gosh….4 years at this place…..and i suppose i’m not worth much here….it’s a depressing way to start off this entry. just found out that i’m probably not going to be able to hold on to my job as a telecommuter, while i follow my dreams to northwestern. it stings….i can get into the politics of it all….bitch about the other telecommuting agreements, but i have to remember the important thing here – i’m not going to do computing as my career, not anymore. sure, i was trying to help my job out – given the hiring freeze. i was trying to help myself out, given the intensity of the graduate level workload. but when it comes down to it….i’m leaving. i’m going to chicago. i wanted to help out, i do feel bad about leaving. i will miss my student workers and my co-workers. i don’t want there to bad blood between us. i don’t have the heart to get worked up over this. it’s not worth getting worked up over this. i’m going to chicago. i’m following my dreams. that’s the bottom line.
