Back to normalcy. Well as normal as it gets around here which is to say about one card short of a full deck. As usual, trying to apply for a government job is an exercise in frustration. I'm going to give a planning job another try. In this case, for a smaller city, part of Los Angeles County. I so hate filling out government job applications because they really want to know everything about you. Hey, it's just part of the hoops we have sometimes jump through. I'm also on the look out for a good retail job, preferably one where I don't have to clean out dressing rooms or make coffee. I'm better at making my own coffee and prefer to fold and hang my own clothes. I wouldn't last at a coffee place because I'd be that one barista that would tell the customer to make their own coffee. I wouldn't mind working at a book store, slightly more civilized line of work. The only problem with retail work is the weekend hours. I can work a closing shift on Saturdays and Sundays. I can check out a call center. I tried telephone fund raising but I really suck at that. I'm doing a really good job of talking myself out of stuff, aren't I? Yes, I do that. I'm much better at knowing what I don't want than what I do want. I suppose I'm not all that different than a lot of people. I think that part of the problem is too many choices. I just feel so overwhelmed with ideas of what to do and what not to do that I can't think straight. I need to sit down with someone and figure out what to do, not just run head long into whatever. Another turn at grad school is losing its appeal. Just the idea of another round of lectures, paper writing, and exams is not that exciting to me. Yet, if I really want to follow through with teaching at a local magnet school, I must go back to school. I'll have to check on the requirements for that one. I know I have to take a credential exam and probably take some education classes. So in the meantime, I should find something to pay my way.
