Ahhhh.....yay stuffs.....

*sigh*

So many things are going through my mind these days. Things about houses and jobs and futures and can I just say WHOA! Of all the things I never thought I would be concerned about, it's my job. I mean seriously, I want to write and travel, that's it. So what does it matter what kind of job I have? It matters quite a bit it turns out. I have recently began to love pretty much every aspect of my personal life, both currently and in the projected future. And let me tell you, loving my personal life has only foiled how much I loathe and despise pretty much every aspect of my professional life. So, what am I going to do about it? First things first. Finish my degree, I have one class left, and that just looks bad. I mean, what serious employer is going to hire someone who quit at the end? Nobody likes a choker, I mean seriously, I'm a Bears fan, I know how much I hate it when they quit at the end. So, that's goal number one, and should be achieved at the end of the spring semester. Huroo!

Then what? Well, to be honest, I'm going to wait to finish my degree to try to land that killer job. Of course, first I have to find it, apply for it, call about it, inquire about it, and basically be almost obnoxious about it until I get that interview. I've always been good at interviews. I'm 98% sure that I can land any job I want. I just have to land the interview first. But before I can land an interview, I have to find the job. Such a vicious cycle. oh well. I suppose I should put together a list of good professional references as well. That's a little scary.

Also, this job, has to have a level of flexibility in it's scheduling. I know I know, that's asking a lot, but, it's really non-negotiable when you consider the amount of traveling I do locally and abroad. I would love to find something that is 3/4 of the year on, and have my summers off. I just don't want to teach, which poses a bit of a problem. I know I'll find it, I just have to learn where to look :)

Anybody got any ideas? I'm open to suggestions.
