jobless and aimless

 

 

   I haven’t been on here much thus far, so the period of time to be accounted for is a much longer one. Since I last wrote I have moved and I have also stopped putting a lot of effort into looking for work, perhaps a self-indulgent thing. I’ve been setting up my place. I had so many books and other media in storage, also stuff that I hadn’t really unpacked at Alice’s place, it took several entire days and overall I spent the past two weeks systematically organizing my household. Perhaps I should have been looking for work or looking at other serious possibilities (school, other interests), but I’ve chosen instead, to configure my household. I figure one’s feelings aren’t always wrong. Its what I feel needs to be done. I want to have it so my personal life allows me possibilities. I guess that’s what I want.

  Maybe this will go some way towards lending insight into what it is I really want to do at this point, whether to go back and take another bash at it or try something different… "retire". 

 Just before I moved I went to a career orientation place where I was told to come back when I knew what it was I wanted to do. Don’t think I’d been told this before in the particular setting though, often enough, I’ve wondered. I think I’ve done it the last half-dozen or so times I’ve been without a job.

Your writing so far is short and bittersweet. I am sure it will help you to open up you feelings here. If you click on circles you will find the 50+ group. I am sure nobody will judge and somebody will care what you have to say. Go for it!
