By far this experience hasn't been my worst employment at all. In fact, it's rather lucrative from my point of view. More than I think my time is worth as an employee with this level of expertise. And yet, at the same time it brings me no joy. More often than not, my abilities are wasted. I'm spending my time stuffing envelopes when I should be out talking to people, using my skills and knowledge to their fullest.

It's clear I could make this PT last the rest of the year if I wished. That's just it though, I don't wish. I want to do something where my mind is put to work. I want to do something where I can actually be challenged once in a while. This work, it's just boring. Boring and well paid for it, so I'm not in any anguish here. I can float for a while. That's no harm, and in fact quite a boon. But I ought to be able to do better than this.

The frustration I've felt over the last few weeks, perhaps that is a message in code. Maybe it's life telling me to stop being comfortable and start looking for the next experience. So Monday, I'll be doing just that, and in the meanwhile, I'm nice and safe with a modest but solid income, and that's more than many have.
