That pretty much sums up how I'm feeling. I want to do something but I'm severely lacking in direction.
I had the fleeting thought of getting a job but it always makes me feel slightly guilty. In an economy as terrible as this, I don't want to take a job that could actually make or break someone else's household. (Man, sometimes I wish I could just be oblivious to everyone else.) I'm leaning towards volunteering and that has it's own pitfalls. When you don't have a reason to volunteer, people have a tendency to not take you seriously. Perhaps this will be different this time around as I'm a 34 year old looking to volunteer not a 22 year old. People look down upon youth so much when it comes to work ethic. I may try the library at some point. It's weird though to be expected to show up somewhere and be on a schedule and not be paid. I need a volunteer gig that isn't going to freak out when I tell them that I can't work during June and will need a week off in July. I also don't want to leave anyone empty handed if my path takes a turn.
Yeah, this is what I'm good at... over-analyzing.
I think I'm going to close down the laptop (turn of the boob tube), maybe do some work in the kitchen and then pay bills.
I really do live such a glamorous life. My Saturday nights leave me breathless!
