Me too. They do have that hotdog stand but I gotta be in the mood for it.

Now instead of Annie’s there’s an overpriced furniture place with stuff that’s new that’s made to look old. I am quite annoyed by it.

Ten years is a long time and a lot of experience in one field. Maybe there’s a way you can parlay your skills into something related to what you do in a genre you’re interested in? Perhaps finance for a cosmetics company (Benefit Cosmetics is located in SF!). I felt very little fulfillment when I worked in the legal field, which is why I left three years ago. I stayed in there for way too long because of the salary (aka “golden handcuffs”). It was liberating to leave, though, I don’t have any regrets.

I probably wouldn’t switch to something new… I’d like stay in writing, for sure; someday I’d like to have a steady job doing it. That would be nice.

Ah! It’s bedtime and reading time for me. Have a good rest of your night! It was nice to chat with you.

i was so upset when they closed the food court. I like the Cheesecake Factory and all but what if you just want a pick me up and not a full lunch. My mom is going to be so upset when I tell her about Annie’s being gone. Whenever we went to the mall together, she would get a pretzel and I would go to the Apple store. It was like a ritual…

I don’t know what career but I want something that is going to be more fulfilling than what aI do now. However, I have been in the banking industry for 10 years and it will be hard to make a switch out of it. I don’t want to start at an entry level position and not because I don’t want to work my way up. But if I were to live in SF or even Marin, I need to make a decent salary in order to just pay rent.

Yes I have gone to the new B&N in Corte Madera. I like that it is bigger than the previous one and there seems to be much more light.

What field would you want to switch to?

Marisol — Do you know what field you might think of switching to? I’ve been thinking of career jumps as well but the economy is making me nervous.

OMG! The Village has totally changed. A bunch of stores that were useful are gone. No more Express, Ann Taylor, Crate & Barrel…even the food court AND the Annie’s Pretzel place — gone!

Arden Fair is so much better than anything around here. I live in Modesto and although they have a pretty decent mall, I would rather take the time to go to Arden Fair or Stoneridge. However, my heart belongs to The Village. LOL

To be honest, moving here was a good move careerwise but in other aspects of my life, it wasn’t. I am actually actively looking to relocate back to the Bay Area (mainly SF) and looking for a job. However, I don’t know if I want to continue in my field (financial institution). I want something that is more fulfilling and not so heavily regulated.
