Comings and Goings

Well, today has been an immensely crappy day. You may be asking yourself, "why is Will writing his blog during the day? Isn't he usually at work right now?" Well, usually, I would be. Except that I am now unemployed as of 9 AM. Talk about the suck. So now, I'm trying to figure out what exactly I want to do next. Now, granted, this situation is not without its positives. For one thing, I have two weeks' severance pay, and on top of that, another 61 days of paid vacation, so I have plenty of time to find a job. In short, I have some time to figure things out. In fact, it seems that right now, I have the freedom to pretty much do anything I choose. My options are wide open, and I don't really have anything to lose. I'm beginning to think now would be the time to start working on going back to school for that long-sought-after advanced philosophy degree. Furthermore, I could go somewhere else, try something new, really, anything. I don't know what my future holds, but now is the time for me to really explore that. So yeah, I'm still slightly melancholy, but the truth is that I am breathtakingly free, with nothing but the open road ahead of me.
