I had a whole bunch of pictures uploaded for the next part of the CeBIT 'coverage', but that'll have to wait for the next time I log into WordPress.
In my previous post, I guess it was pretty obvious what I was writing about. I came *this* close to moving on to a different job. Much bigger pay, even bigger responsibilities (or so it seemed), and a whole new environment. Some people I talked to about this said things along the lines of "Dude! It's a no brainer, man! Move!". Some said, "You sure about this? Is this what you really want?" I on the other hand, had only one thing going through my mind over the weekend: "WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF." It's the rare occasion that a weekend can be rather restful, and yet put me in one of the biggest quandaries i've ever been in. I mean, a person usually only jumps ship when conditions are ripe i.e. shitty work environment, work overload, peanuts for pay; that sort of thing. My current situation was pretty much already whole bucketload of work with easily half the month spent working late and/or on weekends, but that's as close to dissatisfaction as it got. Sure, the pay isn't exactly sky high, but I love the work I do, and I love the people I work with. Surprise, surprise; I ended up sticking to where I already was. Whoop de doo. Besides, I still haven't had a full year helming the magazine, and there are many things I want to do and prove to myself.
I still wonder, though. Did I make the right decision, or did I let slip one of the biggest opportunities yet in my short 26 years of life. Either way, what's done is done. No other way to move, but forward. Bring it on.
