after an especially crappy day at the office i joined Tracy and Derek and Beatriz at the Clark Street ale house where they were very sympathetic listeners. after i vented concerning my troubles at my job and after many cigarettes and many, many pints they convinced me to jump ship and come work with them at their office. i'm not normally one to make snap decisions regarding my career but i think i've had enough. so tomorrow i'll put in the 2 weeks notice then it's so long neo-classicism; "hola" contemporary Spanish modernism. i feel as though i should have done this a long time ago.
