I just got in from class and fantastic, magical night.
Ararrat (sp?) – right after bellydance class – a drummer and guitarist. Hedonistic delight! I’d of stayed and stayed but its a “school night”.
Wondermous, wondermous music and fabulous food. *sigh*

Gods, what a long day. Have I mentioned that I despise my job?
But on the plus side I get to see my Meg today. And dance. I may have to saw my arms off at the shoulders to get sleep this evening. I haven’t had that thorough a workout since…since…Well, since the last time I seriously bellydanced. I can see that I am going to have to do some serious, every DAY practicing to get back to where I used to be. I did, however get compliments from some of the other kids in the class.

Ok, I think I have come up with a cunning plan. It will require some work and some tightening of our belts. But I think that its do-able.
And just having discussed it with Jboy – and he likes it. Esp. the part about all the free massages. 🙂

So its been like forever since I’ve posted. ‘course I’ve been doing cubicle hell for the last 5 months or so. But my contract is about over – 3 more weeks to go – and I am wondering what to do with my life now.
I borrowed a friend’s copy of “Do What You Are” — because as you know Gentle Reader, I am up to *here* with the computer industry. And I’m perusing it, and making notes. Did you know that I am an “ENFP” with a split Idealistic/Conceptualistic nature?
Me neither. 😉
Actually, its pretty interesting stuff. And much of it is eerily on the mark about my personality. Let’s take a peek ahead and see what sorts of jobs it says are good for people like me.

It says I would make a good :
journalist, screenwriter/playwright, columnist, character actor, newscaster, interior decorator, reporter/editor (magazine), desktop publisher, multimedia producer, costume/wardrobe designer, exhibit designer, PR specialist, marketing consultant, copy writer, advertising creative director, human technical human resource recruiter, research assistant, teacher, social worker (elderly and child day care issues), career consultant, rehab worker, social scientist, educational psychologist, anthropologist, counseling psychologist, legal mediator, …

(I didn’t include the whole list – just the ones that stood out to me).

On a side but related note – my recruiter called and told me that my manager was thinking of re-upping my contract. I told her that that was fine but inside I’m not so sure. I am just so tired of the day to day grind. I feel like I’m being dragged down but between bills and child care and debt – I feel bound to continue to work. Its not fair to J to make him be the sole “breadwinner”. On the other hand – I am so unhappy with what I am doing with my life. A conundrum, to be sure.

There are no easy answers of course. No quick movie-like wrapped endings with everything more or less neatly explained. I wish.

On a happy note — has anyone seen the sky outside? Its gorgeous, piled up gray and white clouds. Occasional thunder followed by momentary shafts of golden sunshine.
