"Don't feel much like dancing"
I've been tethered to my cell phone all day waiting for a phone call that never came. I hate feeling this needy--I'm usually a big fan of being self-sufficient, but I need a job to be, and waiting for the job's decision laden phone call, one way or the other, is nerve wracking.
I'm thinking, I've got my foot in the door, so, though this is my first choice group, Ill be able to find another. That said, I think I got good vibes from everyone in the group, including the two people that people said were the most, shall we say, cat-like? I'm thinking the group dynamic is that the guy in charge doesn't care much about the personality of the person he hires, so long as s/he is competent, and gets along with the others in the group.
I've been trying to get in touch with people from high school, but it's tough coordinating schedules. People don't come home for summers, only a couple of weeks here and there and between chock full planned time with people who were more careful to keep in touch, crap ass keepers-in-touch like myself fall to the wayside, and understandably so.
Hanging out during the day is so boring... there's tv and that's about it. I've been watching more and more tv shows on DVD as well, like Dead Like Me and Big Love and today I got Weeds. I really like DLM, and BL was okay, but not great. I'll be sure to report on Weeds, once I get going with it.
*willing the company to call* Though I'm not terribly excited for the actual prospect of working. I thinking the only thing that keeps us as a society working, myself absolutely included, for now, is the prospect of earning money. So many careers that have passionate practitioners pay peanuts, like teaching, in most cases. Or it is that you have to have a lot of passion to choose a career that pays terribly? Is it the chicken and the egg? Do the jobs pay very little because people are passionate enough to work for very little, or are those who belong to low paying vocations need to have passion because it pays so little? Is it very likely that people truly love doing things that pay well, or do people do high paying jobs for the sake of money?
I don't know what to say I'm doing, aside from trying to pedigree myself into a future that I had not otherwise prepared properly for, and save up for the future. Is it wrong to aspire to do the same thing(s) as someone who seems happy? Is it a futile quest to try and recreate the same happiness someone else has? Is it admiration or jealousy? Are they the same in some instances?
