I&#8217;ve actually got a pretty busy week planned, at least near the end of it, and this evening I managed to schedule my MRI. It&#8217;s this Saturday at 7 a.m. Luckily, the radiology place is right nearby, and the woman on the phone assured me that I&#8217;ll be in and out pretty quick, since I&#8217;m definitely the first appointment of the day. I still need to call my spine doctor to confirm they squared the insurance authorization &#8212; as well as to schedule a follow-up with him to discuss the MRI results &#8212; but it&#8217;s nice to have a plan of action worked out for the week.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I remain wholly unconvinced that <i>six whole years<\/i> have gone by since I moved back home from Pennsylvania. On the one hand, I&#8217;m glad. I had some friends in Pennsylvania, although fewer as the years went by and more graduated, and I absolutely didn&#8217;t hate working for the university. But New York was the only place I was going to get an entry-level job in publishing, if only because this is where ninety-something percent of all publishing jobs are located. Moving back home was not at all a mistake. And yet, the thought of buying a home (or rather apartment or condo) and settling down&#8230;I still really don&#8217;t know how I feel about that. I like my job and the people I work with, and I do want to move out on my own again, but is New York really where I want to stay?<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted I am not the most decisive of individuals. That&#8217;s sort of how six year go by just like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marked my six-year anniversary at work, although the day itself was just like any other Monday.
