Completely Random Conversations
September 11th, 2007 | Published in glbt, soundbites | 7 Comments
The conversation took place among a collection of random people at my university who were going to graduate in the next 80 days (including yours truly), and concerned itself with what our respective plans were. They had job offers and such, and concrete plans involving the moving of cities/countries in exciting jobs.
A: “I don’t know why, but when I think about what you might do after university, I always have this mental picture of you parachuting into a house in the jungle, rescuing Aung San Suu Kyi from the junta, liberating Burma, and riding off into the sunset with her and James Bond.”
Me: “Great idea, but why James Bond? Can I have, say, Angelina Jolie.”
A: “Sure. But I doubt you’ll be able to get any work done if she came along. I picked James Bond for your story so he’d still look good in the movie, but not distract you from your mission.”
I do have plans. Many! They won’t immediately make me a 5-figure monthly salary, but I have a good feeling about them. (Hint: NYC.)

A 5-figure salary is great, better if it is in USD, best if it is in Euros!
I was in NYC a couple of months back for 2 weeks, and I’ve never walked so much in my entire life!!

Whatever it is that you are planning to do, we are sure that it is just going to be a new beginning to another adventure!

If it’s going to be NYC, better start thinking more along the lines of a 6 figure salary :)

Whatever your plans are, I hope you’ll keep on writing in this blog!
Godspeed.
