Temping

After the temp job this morning didn't work out, due to lack of workload for me to be beneficial to the group, I got a little frustrated. I don't like having to do office work. I hate sitting behind a computer screen all day...at night its fine, for fun, but I don't want to do it all day. I want to be with people.

So I came to some realizations today...and I just wanted everyone to know that I'm going to be fine. I'm sure you weren't losing sleep over it...and that's okay that you weren't...

Anyway...I realized that my main obstacle right now is my lack of patience. I'd like to have my 20 years worth of accomplishment, accomplished today. So, now that I've recognized that I can move on and be happy with the temp. jobs for now, until I work my way around.

Monty, this Indian guy I met at the park today helped me realize a lot of this...

We discovered that its much more fun to be a little anti-social, maybe less wealthy, smoke rolled cigarettes, go to Off-Broadway shows, and people watch, than to try to be the center of attention at the Bryant Park Grill, have more money than you know what to do with (or at least a credit card bill that pretends you do), and go to corporate theater like Lion King. Basically...be a non-conformist.

I'm okay with the fact that I might have to temp for a while...I think its humbling, and maybe God is going to be able to teach me more through this than anything else. I hope he does. Who needs to be at the top? Its all ego anyway...and its lonely. I'd rather be a groundling...meeting dynamic people in the park than superficial ones at a bar.

So...sales jobs, office jobs, whatever...I'm game. BTW...if anyone knows of anything in the political field, or diplomatic relations, that may have need of someone like...me...let me know.
