Resurrection is the new Beautification?

There are times I wish I was my old self. Not a shell or a character I use to play "anti-Piddy." But the me that I was a long time ago. A self-centered, conceited, selfish individual. I display flashes of that sporadically, but generally I keep that part of me locked up. And when I don't it has emoTerence and Piddy to get through first. But I think that if I could manage to just revert to that "person," even if just for a few weeks at a time, I'd have a bit more "forward progress." Not necessarily saying life would be better -- just more productive.

Do I think I can drag that side of me back to the forefront? Given some ideal time and the right surroundings, its quite possible. It's all mental anyways. In the next few months, I'll have the time (everyone's who's unemployed raise their hands), the surroundings (an MBA progam is like getting a degree in Advance Selfishness), and the capacity to give it a shot.

*shrugs* Who knows. It could be me just thinking too hard or it could be me planning for a resurrection that shouldn't occur. We'll have to watch where this goes...

T Minus...

I remember the last time I put in my two week notice. In leaving Carolina Culinary I could barely contain myself as I told them "I've decided to pursue other endeavors." It was a great day. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and there were white women dancing all around with flowers in their hair.

This time it was a little different. I didn't want to leave and neither did my coworkers. But we all knew it was coming and it was just a matter of time. This time there wasn't really a smile in the process. I really enjoy(ed) working at Progressive (most of the time) and it kind of sucks that I can't "take my job with me" to the Upstate, but those are the breaks sometimes.

As for now, I'm just going to enjoy my time in the office while I'm can. Easily the best group of people I've ever had the privilege to work with (sans Orientation Ambassadors) and I'm gonna miss the good times and conversations we've had but oh well. When its time to go, its time to go. I got to look out for me first -- no one else will.
