My first time...

I guess It's taken me a while to step in to this day and age on a few things, and this blogging thing is one of them. I have read so many blogs of people that I know, friends, people that I don't even know and I thought this may be a good form of expression. I hope I can be as honest as possible and consistant as well. I fear that some things I would hold back with, but I guess my inner most deep secrets I can use a pen and still use my journal for:). I have not fully decided the format yet, as a daily log or as a place to talk about any other things that may be going on or that I am thinking about - maybe a little bit of both... but I guess it will become clear as time goes by. So this is my first blog ever, a little scary:). So I'll stop getting boring now and get in to today. Today was a day of great contemplation. For a long time now I have been thinking that this corporate america thing is just not for me anymore. Sitting in my cubicle for over 8 hours a day taking orders from someone else is starting to wear thin, and for what? So they can proudly reward me with some ridiculous increase at the end of the year "to thank me for all my hard work"?? I work all day long, come home continue to work some more, to "prove" myself, just to get a pat on the back. Which I do get...all the time. But I am starting to need something more. It's starting not to cut it anymore. I don't want to have to figure how I want to take time off every time I want to go on a trip or do personal things, but I spend all kinds of personal time working! I need a plan. I need to think of something that I can do which gives me my own time and something that lets me make up the rules. I'll think of something. Any suggestions. Wish me luck:).
