Phantom Fears

This is the start of week 8. I still do not have a job-even a part time job. Kmart had me in for a 2nd interview about 3 weeks ago, but still have not called me for orientation. I’m also awaiting a call back from Savers. I applied at Costco, who I heard pays more than minimum. These are just the part time prospects. I’ve also applied for a number of librarian positions, including University of Michigan. There was a job posting for a librarian at Marvel Comics in New York. How cool would that be!?! Unfortunately, it was an unpaid intern position….

Now, however, I’m actually THINKING. This posit came to me before I lost the job – if you could do anything you wanted for a living, what would it be? I didn’t really know then, and I’m not so sure now; but at least I’m THINKING about it now. Writing? Hockey referee or coach? Computer networks? Of course, it’s not that easy because I have other considerations before I go off and do something just because I think I want to do it for a living.

So two weeks of excitement was followed by five weeks of aimlessness. Now I have a schedule for the day (which still includes writing) and I have a goal – figure out what I want to do.

Then DO IT.
