What To Do....

I have an opportunity to attend a year long training (generally a week a month) for IT Management. It's a really great opportunity and it would totally help my career.  I'm just conflicted about the timing.

Technically, I really don't have anything going on in my life right now.  No kids at home, no animals, no man, etc. So if I needed to burn the candle at both ends, I could do it. But I'm also working on that special project that may last to the end of the calendar year. It's high-profile and important, so I can't afford to fuck it up. Do I want my attention divided?  If I do both, I'm gonna need my vacation more than ever, and that's two weeks in October.  I already bought the plane tickets.  Do I cancel it?

I know I'm going to need to advance to management for more pay and to position myself for retirement.  On the other hand, I'm always bitching about our department.  Maybe doing this training will give me a global perspective on the pressures and demands of IT in the State, which will ultimately help me affect change. Do I have what it takes? The person who discussed the demands of the training seems to think that I do.

On the flip side, it seems like I've been going and going for the past 3 years...working on the house, working on my life, working at the job and I feel like I need a rest...but I don't like being by myself in this house...so do I get a kitty? See???  My thoughts are ping ponging around my head and I'm starting to think incoherently (Shut up you effers!!  No comments from the peanut gallery!).  I don't need glory, but I do need challenge.  And right now, other than this project, I may not be getting enough. Dizzy must ponder these options this weekend.

Lots to do. I have a doctor appointment, a hair appointment and then my nails.  My girlie R will be over tomorrow night so we can catch up. Saturday is dinner with uncle "B". Sunday is World War Z with A.  Keeping busy keeps me out of trouble, but I do know that I need to put some sweat time in the yard also...especially since 4th of July is coming. Ah well.

Ok Peeps.  No real juicy details to share or scintillating man gossip.  I never got back to M about going out this weekend.  I hope he doesn't think I'm blowing him off....but maybe I am. I just don't know about men anymore.  And God knows women don't do it for me...maybe I should just become celibate.  Now I've frakking lost my mind!

G'nite.
