A Plan For Escape
...is the title of a book by Adolfo Bioys-Casares I read some years ago (back when I was cultured and well-read). According to a review reprinted on Amazon.com, the "relationship between prisoners and keepers is a dominant theme." It was, as I recall a very strange, but interesting book.
It came to mind since we are all attempting to escape something or other.
This week is turning into a hellish mess. Yesterday I was depressed. This morning while sitting in traffic on my way into my office I had an epiphany concerning my job.
The reason this sucks is that I need to be encouraged to do something else. The ONLY reason I am doing what I do right now is for the money. Once I realized I was only being pushed to make a change, it all took on a new context.
Here I am trying to be a Project Manager in an IT department. While it is slightly ego-boosting to know that I can more or less pull this off, it's not what I want to do, was trained to do, have any interest in doing. So obviously it is time to start to do some planning. A plan for escape.
I love epiphanies, don't you?

I usually have epiphanies on the toilet. Swirling effect brings it out of me.
