Wow, a dramatic title…haha, I still have it in me to come up with something clever! Tonight was the night I had to remove my California license plates and replace them with my Virginia license plates. I had put off the inevitable for as long as possible, but my tags on my California plates expired today so I didn’t want to chance it driving to the client site on Wednesday. So sad, my last remnants of California living are no longer on my car. It was so much fun driving around town and having people look at my plates and think “oh he is from California, that explains it.” I would love to flash people “hang ten” hand signs from my car, with my shell necklace hanging from my review mirror…

Oh well, as my title says, all good things come to and end. The good news is I can keep my plates and put them up somewhere…maybe make a plaque for them. Since the damn Virginia DMV took away my California Drivers License when they issued me their Virginia Drivers License.

So I was thinking the other day that I really should try to figure out where to take this wild ride of a blog. I have in the past blogged about a variety of things. My observations in corporate america, my day to day life in corporate america, about juggling school and work, and traveling the world and what I saw on my travels.

Now I have started to realize slowly (through the help of my friends and fans) that my blog while entertaining does not really have the edge it used to. As such, my decision to merge CorporateSuit and GlobalSuit may have been a mistake. Editors note: Yes I am admitting a mistake, heh.

So I think I may revise and rethink the concept of my Blogs. For now, I am thinking GlobalSuit will stay as my personal blog, with my musings.  And CorporateSuit will shift back to be focused more on my musings on life as a Corporate worker and tools and tips I come across.

The jury is still out…and we’ll see what I decide.

As summer winds to a close, and the pool is shuttered for the Fall and Winter, you start to sense a chill in the air. The temperature drops down to the 60s (mid 10s for my European readers) and you start to pull out the sweaters out of the closet. Its the time of year where you put a log on the fireplace and get that spirit of Fall and Winter coming.

For us who live in the United States it echoes the days of Thanksgiving and the holidays around the corner. However, with the most recent economic news it would appear that Lehman Brothers is going closing their doors, with rippling effects through the Investment Banking industry. This uncertainty with the economy and the elections has people concerned and worried.

So when I say there is a chill in the air, ironically, it applies to many things.

Anyone work those late nights? I am not talking about the typical work late night, but the one you work late trying to catch up on “life?” You know, the point in life when you realize, “crap I haven’t balanced my checkbook, or crap I haven’t paid my bills.” I have slowly started to realize those little projects haven’t been started, completed, or closed out.

How do I know this? Well looking in my living room I see a massive chaos of papers, boxes, books, etc. that have not found their perfect place. On my laptops, I see files, pictures, and projects that have not begun or been organized.

This all goes back to my previous blogs about getting on top of things and getting organized, and my inability to make headway in that. In the end, I think I need a few weekends to really make it happen to make it come together. Until then, I will sit here on my couch and stare at the mountains of everything in a bit of organized chaos.

Tonight I was riding the Metro home at about 11:30pm at night (it was a long night at work) and the Metro was PACKED. I was a bit taken aback when I boarded because normally when I ride after 9pm it is pretty quiet. But tonight it was standing room only, and everyone and their mom was on Metro (in fact I think I saw my mom on the Metro but I can’t be sure).

This phenomenon piqued my interest to find out, why at 11:30pm there are as many people at 7am rush hour on the Metro. Talk about weird and surreal.

So I raced home tonight to get provisions, just in case Tropical Storm Hanna is really bad. I am stocking up on canned food and water, because you never really know. Everyone I have spoken to said that a Tropical Storm shouldn’t be too bad, but I should expect that the power may go out a few times during the Storm due to the heavy rainfall.

Wish me luck!  And hopefully my pontoon is returnable.
