Lost In The Forest For The Trees
Jul. 28th, 2010 11:22 pmFeeling a bit:~

I've spent the last little while thinking I need, or should take, a different direction from the path my career has been dithering along for the last 20 years or so. It's been fun to consider being a bartender, or a bus driver, or something equally casual & non-demanding, but the reality has been that it's just as hard to get those sort of jobs as it is to land another commercial sales role. I thought I'd reached the Kinky Friedman stage of my ride, where the best advice is... "When the horse dies, get off", but instead,I'm just at the hoary old cliché midstream point where it's unwise to be looking at some other fine-looking filly...
So... back to the beaten path, then.
