Looking Forward to 2006

[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm either looking forward to or dreading a decission that I have to make some time this year. I'm being given the opportunity to choose my destiny, so to speak, at work. I can either stay the course and continue with the same main responsibility I've had since I was hired, or shift over and be responsible for a new area. It's not an easy choice at all. And it's not even one of those simple to categorize choices like, "Path A is easier while path B offers more updward potential." The risk/reward breakdown is pretty equal between them. One would initially be easier in the near term, crappier in the mid term, and 50/50 whether it'll be rewarding or crappy in the long term. The other would be initally kinda crappy, likely easy but very possibly crappy in the mid term, and only slightly more likely to be worth it in the long term. Ugh, the more I think about it, the less happy I am about having to make the choice.
