it's coming to an end

I have 4 more weeks remaining at my current job. Been here for almost 3 years. And as I have done before, I am writing while waiting for some samples. I will be sad to leave; for the most part. There are a few individuals that I will be able to live without having to mask my contempt for their behavior. Nice people I'm sure but they will not be on the list of those I will miss. I will have to bring in a box to clean out my office. Just like they do on tv. Something of which I have yet to have to do when leaving a job. In part, because I have never had my own office. Actually, its a glorified cubicle. But to someone such as myself; it's an office.

Also the Harry Potter series is coming to an end. I think being aware of that fact has made me read the book much slower. I am a week into the new one. Usually I have them finished by now. I am only half-way. And thus far I am not disappointed with the story. I guess there are still movies to look forward to.

Persistence





Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccesful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.




Picture of me climbing down the steep wall to get to the bottom of that waterfall in Maui. Thanks to Wayne for that one.
