Has some aspect of your life ever made you want to hyperventilate and run away? That's my job right now. I just spent several days working at a health information management convention, and it turned out to be pretty depressing. The thought of being caught in this industry any longer than absolutely necessary is frightening beyond all belief. Additionally worrying is the fact that where I thought I was making a one year commitment, my employers seem to think that I've made a two year commitment. I just don't enjoy my job and I can't bring myself to care about what we do. That can't be healthy in a service intensive small business. I'm even beginning to hate my clients. This doesn't bode well for the coming year.

I have plans with Frank for the next several weekends, and I think it'll be plenty of fun. Still, I feel that I'm not getting to know him any better, and that we're certainly not moving toward coupledom. So is this worth my time? I feel kind of conflicted because I'm young enough to just have fun, but I don't really see the point in dating that probably won't lead anywhere.
