I briefly spoke with the new guy yesterday and it was so good to hear his voice. The phone reception was spotty but I could still make his voice out. I can't wait to hear how his reunion with his mom went. Hopefully, she wasn't too shocked to see him. In he meantime, I have a couple job applications to finish up. I started filling out this one application yesterday for a local opening and the experience wasn't as life sucking as these things usually are. Fortunately, all my basic information has been saved and I just have to focus on the supplementary questions. I'm hoping to get that done today as well as another application for a museum job. There's also another prospect in the South San Francisco Bay Area that I'm liking. What I would really love is a job that has a flexible enough schedule that would allow me time to write. That would be ideal. The reality is I need a full time job just so I can keep afloat. I like the idea of getting nicely dressed in the morning and having someplace to go. I like the sense of doing something constructive during the day. Government and museum jobs are good for that because they make me feel that I'm contributing to something greater than myself. It's a definite boost for my self-esteem. My dream job would be to sit and think great thoughts about architecture, historic preservation, urban planning and design. Maybe dreams can come true but I stopped believing in that a long time ago. Right now, I just want to find some work that I can tolerate, provides me with a paycheck and benefits. Not too much to ask for.
