I made an appointment to meet with the city of Santa Ana for next Wednesday at 3:30 in the afternoon. It's pretty close to last appointment of the day and I figured by then the Human Resource people will have narrowed the field and are just taking these last appointments as a matter of courtesy. Also, I figured by then I can go in, say what I want and not care. I know what you all are thinking, "sure, whatever." What is my reluctance about this particular position? Good question. Normally, I'd be excited about a career job opportunity and I'm not opposed to taking a government job with all the benefits and security that come with it but for some strange reason I want to run in the other direction. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I've become accustomed to living with the crap pile that is my world that anything positive is scary. Also, I found that I really like working at my own pace; sitting at the computer, blogging away. I don't look at it as work, I see it as something totally enjoyable. YOU HEAR THAT MAN IN WHITE? I wish there was a way I could just do that, be paid to sit and write all day. It could be that this potential job would grant me just that but I would be paid to write one -off reports and fill out forms that will end up in the waste paper bin. I know, sometimes I have to compromise. I'm not very good at that. I want things to go my way. It sounds childish doesn't it? Getting back to my reluctance over this opportunity, I was thinking while I was out running that it might be a good idea to do a little research before I drive down there and find out more about the city and the position. Then I can either be more comfortable with it or not. This might a good place to start.
