Now you'd think that I always have a lot of time, being unemployed and all. I cleared up some finantial issues and related paperwork today because I have more time. And now it is high time to actually look for a job. I know that I move slowly but it has to be at my pace. The biggest problem I face (I believe) is that I have no good idea as to what I want to do. I have a BA in Political Science and have worked cooking for the last 14 or so years. This really stinks because if I knew what I would like to do then don't you think I would make that happen for myself? People think that they are helpful by asking me what it is that I would like to do, as if I had never thought of that idea. So I've bought the book, "Zen and the Art of Making a Living" in the hope that something between those pages will help me get from here to there. I'll open it tomorrow. It is too late tonight even though I fear that my run this afternoon will keep me up late. I can tell people that I'm listening to my muses for inspiration and short term promise but a metaphysical/intuitive approach to a job/career leaves them with a blank stare which then turns into a look of pity and fear. The day to day flee and don't turn back.
