How URNA improved my life, a work in progress...

Well the year is coming to a close and it appears that the career issue will not come to a solution this year.  At least I have an idea of how I want to solve the problem and involves something far more ambitious then what I considered at the beginning of the year.  The goal now is to make a change that I can be nearly completely satisfied with and would not find myself questioning it after the first month.  I also know now that changing just to increase my hourly rate by a couple dollars is not worth it since I would loss benefits and paid vacation time.  Not to mention I have a lot of freedom at my current primary employer that I would not have elsewhere.  I just hope that things come together soon because the future I want for myself depends on it.    

On a brighter note I must say that personally I have come a long way with the help of URNA.  It has allowed me to express myself as Katrina and better understand who I am.  Looking back and presently, I can see explanations for my behaviors and interests that are not exactly those associated with guys my age.  I generally attributed it all to being a little eccentric and having an IQ higher then most.  If I now include a gender factor, it all makes complete sense.  Now as far as taking things to the next level and meeting people from here on URNA, that will have to wait until I finish cleaning up all of my problems with my life.  How long? Perhaps, a year or two.  I can go on and on but I want to mention one other benefit that came to mind only recently.  After leaving college at the end of 2003 I became disconnected with the Internet, though I must admit that I wasn’t as tech savvy then as compared to my peers.  I mean the simple act of daily email and visiting websites for news and information became a thing of the past.  The only exception being online brokerage and banking.   That all changed this year after coming on URNA…oh and finally getting a credit card.  I have since gotten the hang of online posting, made online purchases, and only in the past two weeks gotten involved with Ebay.  I have already used Ebay twice to obtain items to complete projects at work saving my company money.  Also used it for obtaining some things I have wanted for years and currently bidding on a nice cashmere item for Katrina.  I always wanted something like this, nice Christmas present for myself if not a bit expensive but I can splurge once.  Anyway, URNA has gotten me back into the Internet and this has been my second great accomplishment for 2007.  As for goals for 2008, that will have to wait till another time. 

One somewhat happier girl,
