nyykiWhat is with everyone in the pagan community right now? It seems like it is coming apart at the seams.
I'm not going to get into the witch war B&B started in reaction to "the website" -- I've agreed to not discuss Club Maeven in my journal. (Besides, Lynxfeather's latest journal entry nails it on the head. http://www.lynxfeather.net/journal/2001/03-06-2001-2.html) Suffice to say that there are a lot of people out of sorts in general right now. And Mercury isn't even in retrograde.
I'm just glad my group is stable right now.
The technology markets are seriously whacked right now, so no one is hiring. The recruiters admit to me that they are in a major slump. There was less than one page of computer job classifieds in the Dallas Morning Right-Wing Totalitarian Pravda on Sunday.
Of course, this is totally foreign to the s/o -- I'm obviously lazy and making this up. The s/o wants me to start cold calling to technology companies. (Opinions?)
I'm to the point where I am going to take a waitstaff position to make ends meet. It sucks, but we need the money.
What is it going to take to get some balance in my life? What am I doing to create this stuff? And how can I stop doing or start doing what it takes?

Well...
Date: 2001-03-07 09:06 am (UTC)Yes, the tech market is schlumpy right now. I'm stuck in a job where they treat us like children, and while I *could* change jobs, I'd end up in a similar situation, and maybe even have to take a slight pay cut for it. I'll stick it out for a while.
I also think it's wonderfully mature of you to be ready to do what it takes to make ends meet. My marriage fell apart when I was working my butt off, taking care of the baby, and trying desperately to pay the bills (but couldn't) and my ex wouldn't get a job, because flipping hamburgers was "beneath him". Never mind that his wife is on anti-depressants because of post-partum depression, and about to lose it because for the first time in her life she's having to choose the electric bill or groceries (to include formula and diapers for the baby). But I digress. You should do whatever it takes to keep you and your family afloat until you are able to get the job you want. It's the right thing to do. And things will shape up, they always do. Don't jeopardize your relationship with your s/o over a freaking job.
Okay, I'm done now. ::grin::
