My first post for the new decade although I gotta admit New Year means nothing to me. I’ve never ever felt like New Year is a new beginning since it is in the middle of winter despite what’s on the calendar. I sorta feel like Samhain is more like the start of the new year for some reason even though I’m not pagan. Guess I must have some leanings in that direction.

The thing I look forward to the most is the release of new genealogical records at Scotland’s People, although this year they were released earlier. I haven’t had time to go look yet.

I do have this overwhelming need to change things in my life though. I’m becoming increasingly dissatisfied with my job but there’s not a lot I can really do in that respect. I can’t change it because there are no jobs to be had and the one I’m in is secure and pays well. I know there is more to life than money but at the end of the day, you can’t do a hell of a lot without it. I think my only option is to concentrate on my own job and forget everything else, especially stuff I have no control over. I don’t need to be stressing about how other people do or don’t do their jobs.

I’ve also decided to do more theatre stuff this year if I can manage it, even if no one wants to go with me. It sucks being the only ballet fan I know! Never mind, matinees are easy for going solo. I don’t see why I should have to miss out on stuff just because no one else seems to care about it.

I’m making no resolutions and no year end review this year. Some things are best left behind.
