My time in New York

I live in New York. I will be here in New York for at least another year. Odds are, I will likely be here two if not three more years from now. And this is why:

As you know I got my job with British Airways in April, and as time goes by I find myself loving it more and more. For the first time in my life I have a job that isn't just a job but rather a career. Whether I end up in Chicago, in Paris, or in Timbuktu this is an opportunity that will get me there, and get me to the rest of my life.

I will be in NY fir at least a year because I was just drafted into another airline (so I am still employed with BA but do work for Cathay Pacific) which means that I am locked into Cathay for a minimum of a year. The reason that I say I will most likely be here in NY for 2-3 years is because I want to move up within the company. Over the next two years I will be able to make the connections necessary to advance within the company and make my way to virtually wherever it is that I want to go.

I tell you all this now because you deserve to know what my future holds as I hope it to also hold you. It's not that I want to stay here in New York - in fact I actually know that I DO NOT want to stay here in NY - but rather that because of the career opportunity that I find myself in it is imperative that I do stay.

This post is the bad news. This is the reminder that yes,I am hundreds of miles away. And yes, I will be hundreds of miles away foe at least a couple years. But this is the bad news. And in the grand scheme of things, this pales in comparison to what else we have...
