I've pretty much made up my mind that I'm not a fit for the business consulting world. Two years and seven months has been plenty for me. My work is important, and I'd like to think I'm doing my part to help keep health care affordable. But I need to work in an environment where I can see the direct result of my work. My job is so hard to explain to anyone, and I don't like that. I create a lot of reports, analyze many data sets, write a lot of requirements for computer systems, and spend a lot of time in meetings.
Being a reflective person is a tough thing because I'm always analyzing my place at work and trying to find meaning in the things I do. I'm lucky to have other creative outlets that keep me sane and prevent me from up and quitting. I am a dedicated worker, and don't intend on burning any bridges, but at this point I don't feel bad looking for new work. I've given my first job out of college a fair swing, and I know that I don't belong here. I just have to figure out where I belong next.

Oh Brian - you and Em are now the most cyber savvy couple around ;)
Much love

I think anyone would be glad to have you, but you 20-somethings are not always getting a second listen-to. You're smart to start the looking and see what's out there.
What a glorious photo of the flag! That's being in the right place at the right time. Keep them coming. When we paint the bedrooms, we'll have fresh photos to put up.
