10:52 Late Saturday Morning (23 August 2008)   Continual Journey There's a certain satisfaction in finishing a task. Accomplishment. Like, Hell yeah, I finished, and it's good. That's why I could never be a paper pusher. It would never end. There would never be the feeling of accomplishment that comes when I personally oversee a group of samples from the day they come in to the day the data goes out. And then there's the check list. It's so satisfying to look at samples and make up a check list for them, the steps needed to make them into quantifiable data. Yet there's a poignancy this time, as I come to finishing the grape samples. This is it. There are no more AJ samples after this. Sometimes I have these feelings like, maybe success is in my reach, maybe someday I'll have a real job, and I'll have a hot hubby, and I'll have a house and a family. And i'll save the world, of course. But on the other hand, jobs and husbands and houses and families..those are things for grown ups and i don't want to be a grown up. maybe i can have the best of both worlds...bills and mortgages to pay but also play time? in the mean time, tengo hambre. Voy a comer!
