>Today is not as stressful, mostly thanks to not as much invisible pressure being there.

Not much happening — I’m contemplating my going back to school. It’s harder to do then I thought it would be to go back. I’m only going to do 1 or 2 classes, but it’s what I have to do to at least start getting things on track. Compared to a lot of people I know, I’m doing quite well — when compared to most: I’m way behind. I don’t want to be stuck like a lot of people I see, though they have full degrees and aren’t doing much better.

I plan on programming, I’m enthralled by it, excited even — it’s crazy, but when I get an idea in my head and I can see the code and type it all out as quickly as possible and have it almost work, tweak it, then have it work — I’m the most satisfied with my work that I can be, and it’s all thinking work. That is what I’d like to do. This job has a lot of social requirements — dealing with customers can be stressful, both internal and external. I can be a team player, as long as others do their part. When they don’t is when I set off on my own to prove whatever it is I’m out to prove. I would really like to have more of an impact with what I do. To do what I want to do would mean I’d be working on my own, on a contract, and the finished product would be mine, or at least a part of it.

…now just to go through with it.
