January 21,22, 2025, Tuesday, Wednesday morning 9:20am, pacific standard time, apartment in Aliso Viejo, California,USA. Went to dinner last night with the Costa Mesa crew. We went to the water grill. Very good seafood. It seemed to go alright. I am going to meet with the senior Vice President next Tuesday. This has been a long process. Mostly because they don’t officially have an opening in Orange County. Rather, they are moving the Orange County Director to rancho and then I will take his place. From their perspective I understand the pace. From my view it is harder. One, I am not getting paid and two, I have too much time to ponder existential questions. To paraphrase Camus; in the end. There is not escaping the machine. On a personal note, I stayed in aliso last night with my daughter and the dog while her mom is in Georgia for work. I will spend the next two nights here as well. Picture is sunrise in Aliso.
