The longest wait

About waiting for unwanted things to happen...

In the very near future I will move... Far away... Far from everybody and everything. Just me and the hay stack in a warm blow of the sunny wind... Don't give me that look! I know what you're thinking but you're wrong: no, I will not go in vacation; no, I will not move to live in a different place; not even into a different apartment in the same town; no, I will not change the company I work for (a lot of nos so far...); the company will move form the current old building to a brand new (not even completely finished) one. So far so good. Except for the fact that I will switch between two very crowded areas of my home town (from the NE side to the extreme W). There you have it: starting with April 14th, instead of spending 30 to 45 minutes on the road driving through the street madness of Colentina-City to the current building, I will need to add up (as the driving directions will take me on the same road up to here) another 60 to 75 minutes needed to reach the new place. A brief total of at least 3 hours spent daily on the road, between home and work - not a very good perspective, in my opinion.
I would think that I do not want to move there anytime soon... However, coincidental or not, things are not that good in the current location, either: the building looks like a ruin and we seem to be survivors of a nuclear war (one of the elevators is gone - and there is dust all over the place because of this, two floors are completely wiped - no more people working there - don't think of anything else -, no more flat water, no more freezers, no more salt or sugar - we do have a lot of pepper to compensate, though -, no more coins for free coffee, no more toothpicks, no more doors, and the story could go on like this for a couple more pages - not even to mention the environment outdoors...). Next week is going to be even more interesting: another floor will be wiped, there will be no catering company and God knows what's next... From this perspective, I want to get the hell out of this dump in which I have worked during the last 5 years and a half. I am not eager to leave but I do want decent conditions where I work.

Yes, I want to leave despite having to face some demons about it. It will take a while to see how I can cope with the new challenges but I guess the smart thing to do is to take one step/day at a time.
