It's Days Like This...

Even as I write this I'm in a hotel room on the beach in North Carolina...I've got the patio door open, I'm laying in bed, I could probably stay here forever if I could be supplied a never-ending stream of books, decent food and of course, millions of dollars in the instance I decide to venture out.

It's days like this that I am happy to be where I currently am, and alternately sad that I can't yet afford to live like this every day..not just on business trips. I wish I could just throw open the doors to my beach house, work on my next best-selling novel and revel in my own greatness and wealth....wouldn't that be nice?

However, I did just get a promotion ..(I'll let the applause die down) and what I suppose would be a good raise, but wasn't an amount of money that's going to get me that beach house anytime soon. I truly like my job, I'm challenged by it and I'm genuinely interested in trying to become the best...but I'm always tempted to quit and work on my book, which would no doubt be optioned for a movie, which I would of course negotiate to receive a portion of the profits from, therefore rendering me an instant millionaire. I had an offer to quit, move in with someone and try to do just that....but I turned it down and sometimes you can't help but wonder if that was the right decision after all. Cause let's face it, that would be pretty f*ing awesome to do. Instead, I'm going to try and do it the hard way...work on the book by night when I'm mentally exhausted and tempted by Lost, the OC, Reunion, Law and Order, CSI and pretty much all of Court TV to push to the side. Which happens more often that it does not (and by that I mean like 98% of the time...) Sigh....

Well, my introspective a$$ has to go take myself down to happy hour before we go out to dinner. Woe is me....maybe this job isn't too bad after all....

Peace
