So, you're going to Malta?

YES! Yes I am! And…?

And I’ve got a lot of work to do in the mean time, which is why it’s getting really annoying that people want to make small talk of one of the biggest decisions of my life. People seem to just love to stop by my cubicle and chat it up. The thing that makes these conversations so annoying is that people only ask two kinds of questions – really stupid or way too deep.

So I thought I’d just answer some of the dumb questions right up front:
So, you’re going to Malta? Yes, I am.
Are you excited? Yes.
Are you going to miss your family? Yes.
I hear you’re going to Malta? YEP!
What are you going to do there? I’ll eat, sleep, and breathe; otherwise, I’m going to need you to be more specific.
Are you all packed? No, and it might have something to do with the fact that I need more that one pair of underwear to get me through the next three weeks.
So, you’re going to Malta? Would you be asking me this question if I weren’t?

As for the deep questions, at least I’m glad that people are asking, but really… I’ve got a million and one things to do before my last day at work. The only other decisions I’ve made that top this one are accepting Christ and getting married. And nobody would expect a 30 second answer to So you’re a Christian? or So you’re married? Besides which, I happen to be one of those crazy people who like to get things done at work instead of strolling around the office socializing. So if you really want to know why I’m going to Malta, buy me a cup of coffee some evening and I’d love to tell you all about my Inspiration.

Okay, okay, I know. Y’all reading this blog aren’t my annoying co-workers. In fact, if you are reading this at all, you’re most likely one of my friends and family members that I know and love and would be happy to talk to at any time about any thing. Actually, maybe it would be a good blog topic to let you all know why my wife and I are making this move. In the mean time, I just needed to vent.
