Why changejunkie?


I have an issue with change. Not in the way most folks do, where I'm afraid of it. No, the opposite. I seem to need it, to almost be addicted to it. I changed my major 5 times in college, with the last time being the beginning of my senior year (or what would have been my senior year if I hadn't changed majors so many times). I'm on my fourth house. I can stay at the same job for a maximum of seven years, but I get itchy to change jobs at year 4. At the end of year 4, I usually interview, get an offer, get the office to make a counter-offer and then stay on, but that only lasts a little while, and then I have to go, since you can't do this process more than once on a job. I change what I want to be when I grow up every 6 months to a year, even though I'm way past "grown up" by now.

I've been fighting against this "short attention span" my whole adult life. I've decided to just recognize it, and embrace that its just part of what I am. So now I'm changejunkie.
