It’s Time To Put Out…
There is much change in our lives. Not our, as in, all people. I mean our, as in my family. Well there is in every ones lives too…I digress.
We move a lot. Personally I think this last time was number 26 in the last 25 years. The numbers change (give or take a move here or a year there) depending on when I’m telling the story.
Along with the many moves, usually comes many jobs. I’ve had about 13 jobs in that amount of time. Many over lapped, for years. Some only lasted a few months.
I have always said that I enjoy doing new things. Meeting new people. Learning new things. Going new places. Life’s an adventure.
This week, I am supposed to start yet another job. It has everything for me. I get to be out and about in the city. Going new places. Meeting new people. Learning new things. And then, I get to write about it all, and it gets published online and in a regional magazine.
For the last two months I have been interviewing. Looking for something different to do with my life. The art world I knew is still a bitter taste that I am eager to put behind me. It’s become indistinguishable from things like car sales or Costco. No offense intended.
About one month ago, I found my dream job. Dream! Job!(I can’t say more) Except for the fact they are not really looking for help. I’m not really qualified for the position. Even if I got it, I would have years of study and learning to get slightly proficient………..I’ve interviewed twice via phone and conference calls. Interviewed in person, once in Laguna and once in Palm Desert. Been asked to take some online evaluation…………I want it really bad.
As bad as I want it, I have been dragging my feet in regards to this other position. Which has actually been offered to me. I can start immediately.
I really want the other position. But when it comes down to it, I have sort of been unemployed for about six months. It’s time to get back to work. An income of some sort.
It’s funny. I’m not really qualified for the position that I was offered either. But, I start this week.
