one more year

everything happens for a reason.

43 years until retirement

after 10 months in my first assignment, i'm thinking about taking a new position. of course with every decision, including this one, there are advantages and disadvantages of moving on to this new assignment. the disadvantages really impact me more like 20 years down the line, so it's hard to take those into consideration. how am i supposed to make a decision based on what will impact me 20 years from now? who knows what i'll want then? seriously. i assume 20 years from now, i'll have my own family, and i know that i'll have different priorities in my life. but...they're big disadvantages, for example the chances of me staying at p&g would be slim to none. in the short term, however, i think it would be a challenging, exciting new role. well, nonetheless, this opportunity is at least forcing me to think about my future, both short term and long term.
i've realized that i've been in my role 10 months, and i've finally started to feel really settled, and i'm already ready for something new. i definitely thrive on change. i get bored very easily, pretty much with everything, and i'm not quite sure if that's a good thing.
the craziest thing that i've realized is that i have at least 43 more years until i retire, and that's about twice as old as i am now. 43 years is a long time.
anyway, so right now, i think i have a few years to at least experiment with my assignments to figure out what i want.
