1) Saw the ex last night and there was no emotional response AT ALL. I think this marks the official "I am over him" milestone. HUGE!!! Thank God that emotional rollercoaster is over.
2) Things are shifting in the work life. People leaving, positions opening up... My professional oppression may be coming to an end if I play my cards right, but I'm still keeping my options open. I'm anxious to leave and do something else, but there are a couple factors that I need to consider...
1. Pro: I'm coming up on 4 years with the gov in August. When I reach 5, my retirement is vested. That's a big deal.
2. Pro: I'm due for a pretty significant raise in 6 months, and with that comes even more options to consider (overseas, etc).
3. Con: With the dog and my friend returning sometime around the end of the year, I will be in seach of a pet friendly place at the worst time of the year.
4. Con: I'll be in WW for yet another year...
5. Con: Will probably remain single until I get out of this town...
6. Pro: By the time I leave, the economy may be back to normal.
and so on...
I guess I don't have to make any decisions now, but I'm feeling the pressure for sure. I'll just have to wait it out and play it by ear. :-\
Until next time....

The best thing you can do is prepare. Get your resume in order, keep an eye out for a job ANYWHERE that looks awesome and apply, no matter what, and do your grad school thing, and it will all come together.
