Another Fork in the Road

I’ve been known to be a bit restless and have a tendancy to jump around a lot. I attended 3 colleges before receiving my degree, and since I graduated, I have had 4 full-time jobs. I wont even go into all the freelancing I’ve done. I attempted to sit still a couple times, staying in Boston for a few years after graduation, staying at the ANCA office for 2 years, and my next commitment was going to be my current job. Well, there is no denying I have the heart of a wondering nomad. 6 months into it, I just accepted a new job (that makes 5) in Washington, designing for another design firm. I don’t want to go into why I decided to switch, but the bottom line is that finding a place where you feel comfortable is not only helpful, it is essential in a creative career. The juices don’t flow when I just don’t feel at home.

Otherwise, I’ve been emersed in AYF Olympics preparations. I’m handling the PR (visit www.olympics2005.org for a good time) and designing the 200 page massive Ad Book. I’m already going blind and I’m 30 pages into it. Eep.

But fortunately I had a chance to come up for air briefly this weekend for some Maryland crabs at the Bethesda Crab House with a couple friends. My review: Reservations mean nothing to these people. The reservation was for 7 pm and we were seated around 8:45 pm. But no worries, because it was sooooooooo worth the wait. The crab was so good, we didn’t even need the butter for dipping... and eating outdoors is great if you don’t mind the massively huge bugs that fly into your face over and over again.
