Work...

That's right.. I got a job. That is the reason for my lengthy stay in Sydney. I am working for 6 weeks (3 weeks left) for a friends start up marketing company. They are working on several projects however one of them happens to be handbags. They want to start a handbag company from old PVC billboards... fashionable recycled handbags... they are going to launch with 5 bags and a wallet... I am project manager. Basically I am design and development for them. It has been amazing to be productive and work on something that I am so interested in.

travelling alone is ideal- however, after a while you feel a little self indulgent... you don't have to worry about anyone but yourself and have no real responsibilities. I was starting to feel like I was a bit of a waste in humanity... like I was contributing nothing to society... now I know designing handbags is not a contribution in many people eyes... but it is to me! It feels great to be doing something so creative and something that I might want to do when I return to NYC.

I think that is why I like to do big dinners too... I needed to care for people other than myself...
