Saying Goodbye

Today my friends and I went bowling en had some dinner. Kind of special today as a friend goes to Australia for sic months to a year and she is leaving this wednesday. Wonderful to imagine how she is going to explore the world for such a period of time. She is really looking forward to it, as this has been kind off her dream for a while now. But naturally she is a bit nervous. She is saying goodbye to lots of people now these past few days. Weird to imagine that it is (almost) september already. She told us her plans on New Years day when she stayed the night after New Years Eve. Well she had the plans, but they were becoming more concrete. And now only 3 days before she goed on her big trip. I wish her the most beautiful experience in travel, meeting friendly people and just have a wonderful time. 

Ciao!

1,5 year milestone, clearance in what I want?

Have been working at the company for 1,5 years now, another milestone. 2 weeks ago I received my 'new contract', it is prolonged until July 1th 2015. So if all goes well I will at least make the 2-year mark and almost the 2,5 year mark. At least that kind of helps from not being a job hopper. Last week for the first time I felt it was becoming a bit more concrete what it is I want to do, but especially why. I feel like I want to be socially involved in the first line. Ok, this is probably going to sound a bit weird in English, but I'll try to explain. Because it helps me when I have to explain it to a future employer. I have an advisory job now. And most of what I do is advise some else to do something in a certain way. I feel like I want to be the person doing the actual work. Advising makes it feel to much from a distance. Besides I feel like I want to really mean something and be able to see it. So to be directly involved in everything. I want to feel my job has meaning. Help people who really need it. I experience these feel ins second hand now while advising. I want to feel them first hand. Besides, I think I can be of much more help when doing something actually socially involved. Not just finding a way to lots of bureaucracy in side conditions.

Ciao!
