Funk

Lonely life, twisted truth

Unanswered questions, unrequited friendships

The best job in 23 years' garden-variety career lasts mere 6 months

Useless knowledge, unhealthy exercise

The movie was good but not as relatable as I'd expected. I like the idea of 인연 but there were too many awkward silent moments. Finishing <When breath becomes air> and Perry's death were enough to put me in a funk. It feels especially surreal because I listened to him reading his memoir last year. Well, but a sudden death is always a silver lining. He already experienced way too much good and bad stuff in his not-so-long life.

 

I asked the company about taking a leave of absence for 3 months. Surely enough, they recommended resignation. I'd seen it coming. Even before I got their reply, I woke up from a nap with gloom. Such a good job wouldn't last long for me. They have hundreds of Korean interpreters. I'm just one of these fungible employees. Yet, I am not worried. There's so much I want to read and study and I can re-apply for the job when I return from Mexico. I just find it ironic I have to quit my favorite job because I want to be with my husband who needs to escape winter. Life is all about timing and priorities.

 

My SI joint pain is getting worse. I suspect doing planks is the cause because recently I started doing it twice a day instead of once. I have to find balance.
