One down... don't know how many more to go... this is the life of a person who has to go away from Loved ones...

The concept of leaving behind loved ones to go work is not new. Many people do it... there are people that have it even worse... they are stuck on oil rigs in the middle of the ocean for months at a time... not only don't they get to see their loved ones, hell, they don't even see anybody other than their co-workers... same thing with people who work on ships and submarines...

I haven't had a chance to feel homesick yet... i was in the office at around 8am and left the office at around 8pm... just too tired to be homesick... I won't really feel it until the weekend rolls around... that's when my usual activities like going out with LOML, my son, my family and my friends... instead of doing the usual things I look forward to every week, I'll be stuck alone in this place...

I really have to get new friends here...

The fact of the matter is, I do know some people from work who I theoretically can have fun with on the weekends... problem is, I'm not that upbeat about making 'new friends'... I've gotten to a point in my life where I LOVE MY LIFE... I enjoy living it with the people I'm used to.

Is that a sign that I'm getting old or lazy...?

I really have to change my outlook on life... if not I'll be miserable and lonely...

One thing though... lets say I make a whole bunch of new friends here... what happens when I move back home? Will I miss the people here..? will I yearn to come back here?

Why am I worrying about things which are so far away in the future???
