Work Happy? I wish
August 15th 2007 10:18
Though I’m still a few months away from having to think seriously about finding a job again, the thought keeps coming up at regular intervals. Going back to Dunedin will require me to think about what I’m going to do for the next few years, whether I like it or not.
I started out working on a book that looks at finding a job that suits your skills and talents and interests, but it’s been put aside in favour of other things over the last two or three weeks. It’s something I’ll have to get back to - and soon.
And we’ve had some ideas of things I could do from home again, including making enamel jewellery. The only thing is that while I like the idea, and while I love the enamelling, I’m not sure if I really do have the talent - and patience - for this. A combination of several different strands of work kind of appeals, but that sort of approach requires a fair amount of discipline. Unfortunately a six-month holiday tends to dissipate discipline to a degree!
A couple of part-time jobs are another possibility - though that was something we looked at before and it didn’t quite work out as well as it might have done, especially (as long-time readers of this blog will remember) one of the part-time jobs was from 6-10 each evening, and that ain’t so good for the home-life.
Think I’m going to have to get going again on the Work Happy book I mentioned, and make some effort to get through it. Otherwise, you’ll be reading about my jobs joys and woes for the rest of the century.
