thinking hard...

I started this blog a year ago because I had become bored.

I was happy, but I had all of these thoughts with nowhere to go. So I started a blog to think about people. It was wonderful for about 11 months, until it hit a roadblock - IDEO.

In the past 6 weeks I've had so much going on in my head and in life that I haven't had a moment where I was inclined to write. It's been wonderful, and exhausting. A certain amount of thought spilling over into written form is a good thing, at least for me, which I'd like to get back to soon.

I've been thinkingaboutpeople so much recently in a way that is focused around work, projects and possibilities that I've had nothing left to spill over into this blog.

Someone emailed me today asking "so, has the thrill of the initial week at IDEO worn off?" to which I replied a resounding "No."

Getting hired at IDEO makes you feel successful, which I did. And I had a lot of thoughts about that, that I blogged.

But then, when you start, you become aware - reminded of the fact - that at a firm where anything is possible, the unknown variable is YOU. At which point it's time to start figuring out what it is you're gonna do here....

And contemplating that has taken up so much mental space that I've had little left over to do much else.
