How I Have Been Lately.
After an interminable amount of time unemployed, I now have two jobs. One full time job selling cosmetics (I hate that job), and one part time job at a coffee shop (I love that job). Unfortunately the job I hate pays much better than the job I don’t hate, so I can’t quit until I find another full time job that I hate less (or, possibly, even like!).
What that means is that I am so tired at the end of every day that all I have the energy to do is to come home and 1) look for new jobs online until I 2) collapse exhausted on the couch to watch M*A*S*H re-runs. No energy to change the world around me at the moment, but at least I am paying (most of) the bills. Also, very little energy to blog.
In other news, I missed Ed, I will be in Clifton Saturday night to reunite with my adoring fans, and I am in love with Alan Alda.
So that is how I have been lately. In a nutshell.

I’m going to be in a similar spot. I’m considering going bi-vocational between what I love and what might help pay the bills a bit.
What do you think of dropping the money paying job for a bit, so you can spend more time and energy finding that job you’ll enjoy a lot more that also puts food on the table?

Mel! Good to hear from you. I’ve missed your hearing your voice around this city. Sorry to hear things aren’t how you’d like them to be on the job front still. Do keep us posted and stay in touch. And don’t give up on the dreams.

wait…you miss Ed? Ed Stewart?

I am in a similar situation. I just quit my “ministry” job to work full time at a music store so I can better influence the people in our community and make a difference. But… I am so tired right now (this is the last week of both jobs), that I feel useless in my purpose.
God is using this time, I think, to wear me out, teach me what I need to know, and force me to rely on him. I am hoping the exhaustion is temporary.

Mel-I’m going out of town for a while, but if you run into Stephanie or Tommy I’m sure they can take the item off your hands. Thanks

I always has a soft spot in my heart for Klinger. I know, babe. I am struggling with being consistent in blogging. After my first year at this school is over, I’ll be back with my game face on. I’m coming into town soon….

I know how you feel. after working on a computer in a cubicle for 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week, being on a computer when i get home is usually the last thing I want to do. good luck getting the job thing sorted out. that’s a toughie. the romantic, dreamer side of me says “having a job you love is worth more than money” but the practical side says “yeah, but try telling the credit card company that”. good luck!!!
