In the short time I've beeen in Virginia, I've already been asked to compromise my work ethic for the sake of turn-around times. Coming from the legal industry, this is not something that I'm entirely comfortable with. I really do think that I'd be better suited to either another company within the industry or another industry altogether.
I need to carve out some personal space before I explode with sensory overload due to always being surrounded by other people. The only time I ever seem to be alone any more is when I sleep. A far cry from the time when I craved other people's company, I know, but I must be able to find a comfortable balance somewhere, or at least some how.
I'm turning into your average suburban housewife, only I'm not married. Every day, I get up, let the dogs out, go to work, come home, perform household chores, feed the kids, not mine I might add, help put them to bed, unwind and then do it all over again. I really need to take the time to discover all, if anything, that Richmond has to offer. I am constantly, albeit unfairly, comparing it to Boston, and it pails in comparision.
