I've Stopped Looking For Traditional Jobs

Thinking About Jobs

When I got home this morning, I was yelled at and bitched out about where I had been. When I said that I was interviewing people for my podcast, my mom -- who was doing the yelling and the bitching -- told me to go get a job.

I'm almost forty years old and this shit is still happening to me. This is the kind of shit I have to deal with on a daily basis. Maybe I should have had my recorder on so you could hear it. Since then -- after some sleep -- I did nothing but mope around the apartment, So, I'm feeling some real lows right now.

One of the things I'm doing to get over this is looking for work. I checked craigslist and started looking at monster when I visualized myself working somewhere and the kinds of problems I would encounter such as, having to deal with co-workers.

Which is weird because I generally like people! I'm pretty aware of how things will eventually pan out. I'd lose the gig or lose my mind. One of the thoughts was how different types of people have their own issues and agendas, and would be hard to work with, which is unpleasant.

Before I knew it, one thing lead to another and I stopped looking. The only thing I can do at this point is to keep figuring out, how I'm going to approach my work-from-home prospects from here on.

Making up for lost time

That clock right there shows, more or less, around the time that I woke up today. That's important because one of the things that people who work from home, set as priority is scheduling themselves. I don't do that. I've tried it once before and it didn't seem to work, or like many things in my work life, I don't commit to them.

But like any problem, we always want a solution. My solution now is to start writing something as soon as I wake up. Right now it's about solving a problem in meeting my goals. The biggest fear a writer has is not having anything to write about, but there is always something there. Right now, I know I've had plenty of ideas brewing in my head that I haven't written yet. Those are going to be written today. 

I might as well start writing those now to smother the guilt I have over waking up so late. I'm talking 1:00pm. That's all.
