I'm feeling a lot better now. Tired, but good. Working out hard puts me at ease. I'm too tired to be edgy.

I'm dying to tell my secret. I mean, what good is a secret if I can't share it with anyone right? I know there are a lot of people smarter than me. But please, let me have this little moment of glory, okay? mmmmkThx. So here goes a "sneak-preview-to-a-coming-attraction-at-a-theatre-near-you" kinda moment.

If everything goes well, next week I won't be sitting at my usual desk. In fact, I won't be in the lab anymore. I just scored a job with one of the development groups on the second floor. I don't want to say what Company I'm working for now, but if you know, Mum's the word. Congratz to me, I'm pretty stoked folks. Trust me, I haven't been this excited.... well not since the bike ride, and I'm probably just as scared.

So I'm moving on up in the world. Not a big step when put into perspective with the smart guys, but at one point I was at such a low point in life, I had to reach up to touch the ground. So this is a major score for me. Don't break out the champagne yet though. The bubbly is for the after party, when they realize I ain't firing blanks.

I have an older buddy, who I treasure and trust his opinion. I look forward to our near daily chats after hours. He's like a much older, bigger brother. When I broke the news to him he said to me. "Don't sweat it kid, you're a member of the W.I.F.T. group. You'll be fine. I know you can do it."

"What pray tell is the WIFT group?" I'm sure you asking, as did I. Well, it stands for: Whatever It F***ing Takes. And I guess that's true. I've never been a hard worker, a person who strives to succeed in life. Still I know that I have to do whatever it takes each day to get by. If that means I have to stay 20 hours a day to get my stuff learned, I will be like George Castanza in Seinfeld, building a little bed under my desk. If it means sneaking the work home so I can sweat it out on the weekends, I'm Mission Impossible like Tom Cruise. In short, I will do Whatever It ahem Takes.

That's why I can't go back to HK in May now. As much as I want to, this is the time to show up at the plate and take a mighty swing at the ball. Yes, there's a chance I might wiff and strike out, but it also means I could make solid contact and at least get on base. That's all I want in life. I don't need to be the guy who grandslams in the 9th with 2 outs on a full count. I'll leave the hero stuff to guys who get off on it. I just want to get on base.

....After that, I just might steal second. Then who knows, the world is an oyster, and I could be one of the shucksters. posted by losir at 9:07 PM
