New Era Awaits!

Okay nothing so deep.

I'm fighting to get into shape.  My legs are sore all the time from minor jogging or leg presses.  Lately I had to take off a bit as my back got really sore, and got worse when I tried to carry my gf off the bed (non-sexual)..  ouch.  Getting old, I think i was hear "my back going out"..

In other news.. I'm back w/ the gf.  She was very sweet when my mom was here.. and my sister too.  She has a very solid side to her, which is very proper, very caring, and very sweet about things like family.  Compare to Miss Korea who seemed bit more annoyed to have mom around..  and trust me, thats normal cause I'm also annoyed, but at least putting up a good show for the inlaws is expected.  I think the gf didn't put on such a show -- but seems to like family life so having mom/sis around was somewhat normal for her.   Plus, other than my mom being super lazy, she is really easy person to be around.

I got whiff of a job at Schmoldan Gachs..  I may apply.  Even though I know I have an easy job, and a good cash cow.. i keep chasing the ultimate satisfaction.  I know it can't get better in terms of schedule (ok I work alot of eves w NY but otherwise its 930-630pm) and ability to take full holidays (22 vacation + 15 national holidays) a year.  Couple that with a wide range of responsibilities and power structure where I'm the bosses' right hand man.. why give this up?  Hmm.. analysis.s....

Why consider:
1) SG is the top name.  Even though its died alot since peak it still is like a MSFT on the downturn or Google a few years from now..
2) Pay maybe better.. do i need more money though?  I really just need time.
3) Brand name may help me find new job again oneday.. in SoCal for example
4) Kinda bored, kinda feel like I'm doing nothing extraordinary
5) Get 2-3 month vacation between jobs!

Why not consider..
A) Changing jobs as a manager is highly risky.  Nobody is watching your back.  Its all about politics and connections mid/sr management.  No friends, then u r likely to get whacked.
B) Pay is risky unless you can get guarantees.  Not the market to get guaranteed $
C) More $ maybe, more HRS certainly
D) After all the job changes and hunting I've done in life.. I found jobs are all just jobs..
E) I have a spotty job history.. every 2-3yrs.. doesn't sound so hot.

So its just a thought.  I like interviewing.. I feel it keeps me aware of the market.  Hence I may just interview for "kicks".   SG is the only company I failed at twice as well.  Damn..  1st time not quite failure, but 2nd was indeed.

Its sundy.. I lit up a Cohiba Siglo II and am vegging..

Pondering whta new snow gear to buy.. looks like I missed a great sale on Patagonia online!  dammit..
