I've got a plan!
I do, the plan is to get together a list of jobs i would like to do and include some of those recommended by my "twiter" assessment. I am then going to find people who do these jobs and i'm going to interview them, this way i will find out if it is REALLY what i want to do! Well it sounds pretty full proof to me. Let the search begin............

So, how it started..............
So, after once again fruitlessly trawling through the job listings online i succumbed to the http://uk.tickle.com/ career test for a cool £4.95, which will probably turn out to be and even cooler €10 by the time it reaches my credit card, to tell me what I should do with my life! And this is the inspired result, the Right Job for me is "Creative Writer" and as none of my qualifications or work experience facilitates me getting a job in this area, i figure this blog is the best way to start my inspired career!
As I sit in a semi-darkened room while I write this I do wonder, is it that I don't like my current work or is it that I just don't like working at all................. I mean creative writer does sound like one of those jobs you'd do if your weren't up for working all the time. And if this is the case does it just mean i'm lazy.........
Since i stopped traveling, settled in the one city and started working full time, n a "career" job I feel very boring, like my life is kinda suspended, waiting for something to happen...........but nothing is, so how do i make it happen, how do i make life start again?
I mean i don't think i'm a boring person, i've studied plenty (yet not enough to get me into the arena of creative writing), seen lots of the world, met a wonderful variety of people, have had some brilliant adventures, and life shaping experiences, but now that i'm working my life seems to revolve around the mundane monday to friday 9-5, home, gym(on a sporadic basis), food, bed........ drunk on fridays with work people.............. drunk with friends on saturday night, lazing around on sundays and maybe cooking something, and then occasionally some extra curricular activity throughout the week for short bursts, to reassure myself that i am attempting to have a life...........who am i kidding?
Is this living, it doesn't feel like it? So what do i need to change, something has too? I think i may use this blog to plot my investigation into why me/you/my generation can't be happy with what we have or maybe its what we believe should make us happy is wrong........maybe we are searching for contentment in all the wrong places...............hmm Creative Writer eh?
