2005 -- My friend EB said that he was happy to see 2005 end. I understand why he thinks that -- he had a really rough year career-wise. However, I have mixed feelings about the end of 2005. I started off the year with a little romance with an older man. We had a lot of fun for a few months, but for a variety of reasons, the romance eventually fizzled. I missed the guy a little this week, but not with huge regret. As far as the "whole package" was concerned, he was not the guy for me in the long run. But he did have some good qualities I'd like to find in someone else -- most notably his good people skills and his optimism. So even though things didn't work out, it was a positive experience overall.
My career also leapt forward in 2005. I went through some moments of drive-you-crazy uncertainty for two months this fall, but I ended up with a great job with a lot more responsibility than I've ever had before. Though I'm sure I looked like a deer in the headlights on my first day, I quickly realized that this was the right job at the right time for me. Given the position's responsibility and the potential to influence public policy, I think I am right where I should be in my career. More importantly, though, I really like the job.
However, the romance and career concerns have taken a toll on my weight. I dared look up what I weighed a year ago. Though the dates don't all comport, etc, I can (unfortunately) say that I gained 30 pounds in 2005, exceeding 200 pounds for the first time in my life. But I'm optimistic about turning that around in the new year.
So thanks for an interesting year, 2005. Let's hope the new year is much better.
