Decisions, decisions

In a certain sense, life is perhaps entirely composed of an endless series of decisions. Consequence is the name of the game.

I’ve got a few decision-making deadlines whooshing up at me right now. This whole year has gone by superfast, and I won’t have the luxury of postponing some serious considerations for much longer. Do I want to live in Calgary? Edmonton? Houston? Would I consider quitting my job? Do I want to ensure I have an “engineering” job, or do I want to be a “developer” …or something else? Do I really want to become a long-term resident of the United States? And if so, how long is “long-term”?

A lot of these questions flow from one to the next. I actually drew out a decision tree to visualize the various paths I have available. There’s a lot of things to think about when trying to assess the pros/cons of each option: emotional, economic, environmental, esoteric…

I’m still not entirely sure what I’m going to do. I have a meeting in < 12 hrs. where I’m supposed to discuss what I’m looking for, and I feel like Bono.

There are other decisions to be made too. Not as obviously imminent, because they’re not career-oriented, and nobody is forcing me to make up my mind before a certain date. But still, time waits for no man. I’d better come up with some final answers.

our future was so bright
