i have really missed my furniture (too bad it's rented til next Jan.).
well, it's decided---i'm going back to the good ol' US of A. probably the first of September, sooner only if the right job comes up. i knew it was coming, but i finally did have to make the decision. and now that i have, new adventure possibilities come to mind, things i've always wanted to do back home, like
Route 66 in a convertible.
i'm on the job hunt, with places like
Design Within Reach and other businesses catering to the
Design Addict like myself in mind. i thought some time away would lessen the need, but no, i remain hooked--but at least my new-convert modern design evangelism has mellowed over the past year. i can now pursue a proper job for the first time and not sell myself short--i'm tired of the exhausting grief and low rewards of sales and service. i want to use all the experienced i gained running the train wreck that was my last job to get a Buyer (or at least Assistant Buyer/Researcher) position with a larger, stable company. preferably in a warm and sunny climate---California here i come?!?
