Stupid Poetry – Making Things Sound Easy

. . .
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
- Robert Frost

Ok, so Robert Frost had two roads, and he picked the one less travelled by, fair enough. But what would he have done if there were 6 roads or 8? What if all the roads had varying levels of wornness, and indeterminate outcomes? What if the well worn road lead in the exact right direction, but was stony and craggly, while the not so well worn road was flat but led in the exact opposite direction you were planning on heading??

I’m just ranting because people often quote this poem when talking about the “well-lived life” but WTF! No one’s decisions are that cut and dry! There are a thousand miniscule details that make decisions hard to make.

So here’s the thing people. I’m pretty sure running websites isn’t the career path I want to spend the rest of my life on. I’m not so much unhappy as unfulfilled. And this is what I’m thinking my choices are: 1) Go back to school and get my MBA 2) Find a completely different job 3) quit my job and be a do-nothing, lazy-ass loser leaching off Marc as payback for his slow-start financially at the beginning of our relationship (you didn’t think it would come back to haunt you, did you?)

So yeah, that’s as simple as I can make it. Maybe I should just roll a d6 and do what it tells me, that answer will be as good as any I could make. 1-2 =1, 3-4=2, 5-6=3.

Ok! Marc witnessed without knowing and it was a 6! Yay! Loaferdom here I come.
