Firstly, sorry for not writing for a while (for anyone enjoying my rumblings).
I have been thinking though, so expect future posts on money, power, religion and politics. I will not pull my punches anymore as I intend to air my opinions on a lot of important (or not) stuff. Some things you may agree upon, some you may not.
Been a little pissed off this week or so. Wanting to write but have shrunk into my safe place and became a recluse. I did however, enter myself into a writing competition from the readers digest. It is a 100 word story competition. Think I've done ok, and will post it up after the competition ends.
So, on to topic. Firstly, and pretty poignant at the moment, my career Erm... Choices for want of a better word. It would seem that I don't value most of the work I've done as particularly time well spent. For a couple of years I felt at home in a college, but then found out quite brutally that teaching was not the choice for me.
I enjoy helping people, but customer service in the retail sector really does just grind away at my patience to the point where it is now psychologically damaging
I need a job where I make a difference in people's lives, one which encompasses my skills. I enjoy writing, counselling, helping and making a difference. This is not easy.
I put great emphasis on these traits and if I can't do something which I can be proud to tell someone without feeling embarrassed or hypocritical, then this gets me down. I have issues with certain industries and this does limit my options
What I do is important and this is why I cannot rest in 'just a job'. I envy the people who do.
