Job Hunt...
Well, as those who follow my FA may know, I was fortunate enough to be laid off yesterday. Now, when I say that, it may take mentioning that I'm not being entirely sarcastic. That place was a black hole that sucked away all my energy, creativity, social life, and nearly got my sanity to boot. I'm glad to be rid of it. But I'm also worried. The road ahead is now distinctly uncertain. Now, instead of biding my time waiting for a decent job of my choice to open up for me to apply to, the hunt has become more urgent and may ultimately result in my being forced to go to something less than what I'm seeking, in which case I will be unable to afford my car and insurance payments, let alone cost of living. This is all worst case, of course, and I'm not quite down to that point just yet, but it's likely to start getting tight. With any luck, and perhaps a small miracle, I'll find a good job to support myself on.
Kind of hoping for something in the security field. Something more hands on, more active. I'm tired of the cubicle life. I mean, I'm no mouse. I don't like cramped crouded places. I'm a Gryphon. I like open areas, I like activity, I like stalking for "bad guys", and I like helping people out. Really, I don't know much else I could be suited to. I'm not particular good at anything but perhaps observation, weapons training and handling maybe... I don't know the first thing about finding a job. Poked around job search sites but came up either empty handed or with under paying results. I'm probably too damned picky. I just don't know what to look for, what I could do where I would be giving my worth in terms of quality of work, etc. Time will tell, but I'm certainly open to suggestions, besides the obvious like unemployment which I'm finishing up now.
Fair winds!
