I've got my new assignment!!!!!!

[northernlights]

I pretty sure this is it. It fits so well:

* it fills a *real* need
* it concerns things of deep personal interest
* it combines skills from the far past, recent past and current
* it redirects, yet renews my original plan when I came here
* it has a structure, which I tend to need
* it has a DEADLINE, which I really need
* it's the 1st in a series
* if successful it could ultimately set me free

I wish I could work on it full time this month, instead of between the job. But...whatever. I'll manage, one step at a time

And that's as much as I intend to say for now.

Ok, one more thing...the deadline is September 1 or maybe Labor Day Weekend. You'll know what it is then

[I Have A Dream]

I know I've been silent, but I've been following your posts. I understand what you've been going through (am in a somewhat similar position myself) and am VERY happy for you!

May this be a wonderful thing for you.

13. AWESOME!

Especially that one in a series thing. I don't know what you mean by the deadline deal but am assuming this means you can quit making sandwiches. Yay!

[rumpel]

14. I am happy for you, northernlights

does this mean no more sandwiches?

[northernlights]

15. no, it does not mean no more sandwiches

Right now, I'm living "sandwich to sandwich." Last week's sandwich-making is paying this week's plumbing bill. This week's sandwich-making will buy a 3-month supply of hay to tide me over until tax refund buys hay through next year. And so on...

It could be a long time...or never...before it pays off. But I do feel like it *could* pay off.

Now I've got to summon the energy, after a long day of making sandwiches, to get focussed. Hopefully, the job on the dark side will come through, which will be less physically exhausting and better schedule-wise, until this does have a chance to pay off...

16. mmm. take if from someone

who spent three years tethered to a phone line, it is not necessarily less physically exhausting. I used to feel like someone had beaten me with a 2x4 when I left every day. Personally, I prefer those jobs that have me up on my feet and moving around. Waitressing. Floral design. Massage. I hope you find it different if it works out that way. I'm just one of those people who are energized by movement.

[northernlights]

19. I understand...different types of exhaustion

I got exhausted by sitting all the time too, in my old desk job career. In fact, that exacerbated by blood-sugar/hypoglycemic issues.

The reason I think the sitting job will be better for me right now is that I already do about 3-4 hours hard labor/day maintaining the farm. That can increase to as many as 5-6 hours hard labor in winter, if we have heavy snow. Many paths to shovel. Too many. Add to that science classes with 3 hours on my feet in the lab.

By evening, I'm ready to plunk myself down somewhere on my tired, sore butt and exercise some other part of me...

[Why Syzygy]

20. Right.

I thought of that. You get lots of exercise at home. I actually loved my JOB on the phones (working with people). It was the whip snapping management that made it unbearable.

[rumpel]

17. I understand..

one step at a time...

but it's a forward movement.

[Mnemosyne]

18. Sounds very cool, NL! Best wishes! n/t

[juno jones]

21. Good luck!

I suspect this eclipse season has ushered in some major changes for many here and other boards I frequent.

[southerncrone]

22. Outstanding! Maybe balancing a variety of tasks simultaneously

is a skill we will all need in the near future & you can write about it from experience. I certainly wish for you that this new venture pans out!
