Today I was offered the chance to quit my job at the end of May. I think I'm going to do it. My heart's just not in it, I'm not enjoying it and I need a kick in the ass to find another job and/or go back to school.

After 5 days of being on the move I'm 'home' and it was a fun journey. BKK was hell, as usual. San Francisco was great! I got to see Craig, Joe, and Brian and their new home.
