With every season that’s come along this year, there have been significant changes to my little slice of humanity, and the start of fall has been no different.
It’s now a shade over one month since I started working full time at Inform, and quite the busy month at that. We’re probably two weeks away from launching a new site overhaul, and I don’t see the workload fluxuating anytime soon. Then again, after a summer of just staring at my apartment walls all day, that’s actually a good thing.
The new job is set in the Murray Hill section of midtown; a spot that actually makes it easier to walk to the office from the bus terminal than to deal with the Subways. I timed the difference one day, and all that climbing up and down steps and waiting for trains saved me a grand total of 10 minutes. I’m sure I’ll use them more when winter rolls around, but for now I’m enjoying my twice daily hike across midtown.
But by far the biggest change would have to be in the personal side of my life. You see, shortly after starting my new job I also I broke up with my girlfriend Jill after a year and a half. It’s not something I planned to do, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was thinking about this for a while. I’m leaving out the gory details, and will probably keep any future relationship talk from these pages for a very long time. I certainly wouldn’t mind if she still wanted to be friends, but in the end, all I can do is wish her the best of luck in her life and leave the ball in her court.
