I have been sitting here most of the afternoon and evening watching Supernatural Season 3 and attempting to scour the internet for jobs. What I have come to realize is that no matter what the job even if it may sound perfect, it is never what I am looking for. It could just be because I am picky, which is probably a large part of it, but I think that it is also due to not really knowing what it is that I am looking for in a job. Or, even just not really wanting to work. I would probably even get bored with playing video games all day, which I used to think was my dream job.
Truth be told, I think that I wont be happy in whatever I do unless I am also filling that basic need I have to be part of nature, or be able to do something active that can hold my interest for more than five minutes. Growing up, I was constantly doing something active. At one point I was in Scouts, playing Soccer, playing Softball, working as a soccer referee, and doing various things with JROTC in High School, and I was still looking for things to do. I always wanted to do karate or some other physical sport, but due to everything else that I did I wasn't able. Now the lost opportunity has reared its ugly head in the form of my significant others' child getting to experience something I didn't. I think that this will be a great experience for her, and do not wish any ill will or anything like that on her. I just wish I had taken that chance when I was younger.
So, what do you do when you when you find yourself looking for a job again, and wanting some sort of activity that will force you to get back into shape, more than running after kids with foam swords? I have no clue. But I am open to suggestions.
