Job Search

I can't complain about my life at all. I want to, because whining is one of my favorite hobbies. My life is good because I have a faith that works for me. While I can take blame for a few things, I can take no credit for the coolness that happens to me all the time.

Having said that, life is still a series of events. There are circumstances that are less than perfect and perspective is important if you're going to be of service in the lives of others. I am in a peaceful emotional and spiritual spot right now, which is good.

Because for the first time in my life I am looking for work. I could get really freaked out about this. Starbucks is the only "choice" I ever made as far as the pursuit of a paycheck is concerned. The phone company and my teen job both engulfed me with out much decision-making on my part. There is a little bit of fear that I will make the wrong choice or ruin an opportunity with all the possibilities, the wide open-ness of it all.

I love working at Starbucks and want to continue working there, but unless things move very quickly I don't know what's going to happen. I am keeping myself completely open to the possibilities. The universe usually has bigger plans for me than I do.

The alternative to staying open to the possibilities of things is setting myself up for disappointment. While that used to be another one of my favorite hobbies, I no longer find it quite as interesting. Life is better when you let it happen.

I do have a dream job in my head, several possibilities that would thrill. I believe it's possible to make a living doing something that you love, and that you're good at. I believe I deserve the opportunity to find out what that feels like. I am visualizing it and getting excited about it... while being practical.

Do you like your job? If the answer is "yes" then I'd like to know if they're hiring. And if you'd be willing to give me a reference!
