I have been wrestling with a decision for several weeks. To stay in New York or take a job in Boston? I have a whole post written during the throes of my personal agony which it seems silly to post now. Now that I think of it there is a whole episode of the first season of “Felicity” that was devoted to this question as well. For different reasons of course.
Somewhere over the last month or two I fell in love with this place. I don't know what happened. I just know that it did. PS sighs when I tell her this and says that it's a clear case of stockholm syndrome.
I called everyone I know to talk to them about it. I asked everyone who called me about it. And finally last Thursday night I came to a decision. I almost backed out the next day but with a pep talk from the RM, I steeled myself, walked into the office and told them that I wanted to stay in New York.
Up to now I have been letting myself drift on the currents allowing them to take me wherever they may. Bending to the will of fate and the demands of others. But on Friday I planted my feet on the ground and made a decision. One decision. New York. I am not passing through. I am here.
I promise myself that it is the first of many decisions. Now is as good a time as any. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

you did the right thing ergie!! im really, really, supercalafrajalistically glad that youre staying!
I'm happy to hear that! Even though I'm probably closer to Boston now...I hope this means that we can actually still see each other once in a while?
kenyc: I dunno. I hope so.
kat e: Ha. You might be right about the distance thing. We need to plan ourselves an adventure. my friend. You and J wanna see Sebadoh with me at the end of the month?
Congrats. I can imagine that figuring that sort of thing out would be a struggle. Are you staying at the same position in NYC....or are ya tranferring to something new perhaps?
