Got back from a 3-week trip to the East Coast, and I had such a great time! The conference was boring and Boston where the conference was was mostly boring because I only knew one person there, but the rest of my time was a lot of fun! I got to catch up with a lot of my old friends and it was so good to see them. I think I've come to the unavoidable conclusion that "Artist" is right. I am a very social being--who is also an introvert!
But I was also ready to come back to HK by the end of my trip! I'm now trying to get over jet-lag and hopefully get back to work soon.I'm still struggling to see how work fits in with the rest of life. When I met up with the friends who are in my field, they all complained about the pressures of our line of work and everyone had alternative career dreams. Mine is to open and run a doggy daycare center. I'd be paid to play with dogs all day long! (It would be fun until my allergies kick in, but that's why fantasies are so much fun--you get to do what you can't do in real life.)

Maybe you can walk dogs part time!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice time! Boston is boring, though, isn't it? I never much cared for that city.
