Reflections on 2007
Between the plane ride back to Seattle and the bus ride downtown last night, had plenty of time for some reflection on 2007.
I'd have to say it was a year where everything was just a little bit off - and I mean that both professionally and personally.
From a work perspective, of course we're not yet flying, and were expecting to fly by the end of this past August. Obviously that hasn't happened, and a lot of our self-imposed deadlines for my group's deliverables to meet that original schedule haven't been met either.
Personally, well, i think my archives speak well enough to the misses with Rebecca, Sarah, and Lindsay.
The buying a house-process went fairly well (although I went on a heck of a lot of tours before i found what i wanted).
Of course, I decided I had to have a big-screen TV right before i moved, which combined with the cost of professional movers, meant that I was a little low on funds when my renters in Philly decided not to pay rent.
The whole business with the renters didn't go well at all; at least they're out now and I can rent it to someone else now that it's been fixed up.
Don't get me wrong, 2007 wasn't a bad year, just one that had potential to be more. I have a great job that I truly enjoy (perhaps a bit too much, judging from my OT rates), work with people I truly cherish, and have a great group of friends.
Here's hoping 2008 bridges the gaps that 2007 couldn't quite cross!
