I have a growing urge to get away, get out, meet new people and generally take my mind off $WORK.
Don’t get me wrong, work is good, we’re doing cool projects, but as a small company without VC backing or anything, it is all too often that you limited resources prevent you from doing the next cool thing. So, I want more resources to hire more good people.
More generally speaking, I want to meet more good people, but I don’t really know where to start. I missed some web-2.0 / open source / social commerce / etc. type events after moving, which sucked. I’m hoping to catch the next few, sitting in Starbucks and chatting with fellow geeks and geekettes about geeky stuff. Less slouch-coding, more exchange of ideas, more shared projects, more collaboration… too bad all that stuff happens in the city center, and I live on the fringes. The cat is happy, but it doesn’t exactly help with meeting people.
Yes, I said it. I feel lonely. I don’t have as much time for myself, making friends, or just stroking the cat as I would like, and it annoys me, not the least because I keep thinking that I could do it all better, if only I would try harder.
And then I try to convince myself that that’s rubbish.
Too grey in here for my taste. But two thumbs up for getting out and meeting people. Say hi to the cat…
