I think I've been in a funk the last few years honestly. I got into IT accidently and it was an ok way to make a dollar, but after 10 years or so I don't have much left in me anymore. I guess I've been searching...but I've become inspired over the last year or 2. I won't have any children, and the people I see day in and day out..I think that's a big part of the motovation people have to do what they do. I want to make a difference, I want someone to know I existed.
That said everything changed for me in late August 2005, early Sept. My father had a heart attack, I was working for a tyrant and New Orleans was swamped by a hurricane and my sister was in Paris living (having been to Iraq, Cairo, Istanbul). I decided screw it. I am hunting for work in New Orleans...with the idea that I could attend Univ. of New Orleans.
I've never lived outside Georgia, and New Orleans is a really messed up place right now but it's the only place fortunately or otherwise I feel drawn to.
And making decisions about what to do for a living? I wasn't ever good with that at all. I just went in a big circle until I was back to politics..place I started at wanting to work in way back in high school.
(Oh and I tried to eliminate stuff...I liked the idea of filmaker, computer graphic artist, etc but I Wasn't sure I was really passionate about it either)
