dubai: energy

so i told you in the last post that i lost my job last week. (still looking for a better way to describe that).  its not like i don't know where it is.  is right where i left it.  

by the way i didn't love that job.  i loved what it was suppose to be, but it never amounted to its potential.  like any relationship that doesn't bare fruit, it should be discontinued.  but rejection, no matter the reason is awkward.  stating it nicely.  anyway the last time i got laid off, exactly two years ago, i was relieved.  and i was relieved this time.  

now last time, they laid me off, i went to beirut for a break, then to india….then to looking for a job.  i did the math in my head, and freaked out on occasion.  but only one major freak out that was managed my girlfriend missy.  i kayaked, paddle surfed, did yoga, rode my bike, met my friends out, couch surfed, got acupuncture, travelled to beirut two more times, traveled to qatar twice, went to jordan for a bit.  and late into the game, 7 months in i started freelancing….and once i got the hang of it, i almost committed to not going back to corporate.  at 11months i was at a new job, with an assumed amazing new company.  and almost immediately started suffering.

suffer why?  because i want a nest egg.  not even a big one.  just one that allows me to day dream at times.  one that allows me to have under the tuscany sun moment, if needed in marbella.  one that allows me to live my dubai standard, with out the dubai drama.  oh how they hold hands. ever so tightly.

anyway, this time.  i think finding the job first and then going on a nice leave is the better approach. finalizing budgets, so i really understand how much time i have, save the money now…so that it can stretch.  see if not going back is an option.  and being corporate about my approach in that sense.  like really run the numbers, get real data to support or kill the idea.  syla, emancipated images….are the priorities.  investigate in companies that conclude my education.

as i digress.  energy.  in this time of change, all of my important people contacted me, and i just find it amazing how energy is un spoken.  they know something is up.  what exactly. no.  but this is just proof how things are working that you know nothing about.  and no matter what you plan, there is already a plan in place.  people are playing parts they don't even know exist.

i want to ride the energy..how about you?
