My brain is rolling around in my head like a bee-bee in one of those box games. It’s keeping me awake tonight. So much is changing in the next couple of days. You already know about my upcoming job changes. The change from having a job to not having a job. Well, that doesn’t concern me as much as the vacuum after the job. What will I do with the spare time? Oh yeah, find another job!
But what is going to happen in the periods between ad perusing, resume submissions, call-backs, and interviews? One idea I had was to get a cat. Stupid, I know. It’s like a lonely teenage girl letting herself get pregnant to fill the hours with unconditional love and the romance of parenting. None the less, a cat has been on my mind for a while and the free time at home will be a good chance to lay the ground rules and develop the connection.
To be frank, I am not too hip on the idea of finding another ‘job’. Like I mentioned last time, I don’t want to latch onto the first available employer that seems bearable. I want to find the dream situation. Decent pay, good hours, and engaging work. It’s the golden trifecta. What the details are to that is what I am having problems with. It’s going to take time to fill that in.
What can I do between? At least there I have a few ideas. I am not going to give them away here. At least not yet. Suffice it to say that I have always been very self-entertaining. It was never a matter of me not having something to do. I always manage to find projects to keep me occupied. Now it’s a matter of finding projects that I might do that can contribute to either their own up keep or even be a primary or secondary income. For a project to work at those levels, it needs time to be put together and nurtured.
I am about to get that. Now, it’s a matter of not wasting it and having courage to use it.
