Job thoughts

On my first day without a temp gig in 3 weeks, I have been enjoying a certain level of laziness, mixed with a flurry of domesticity. I felt compelled to clean the bathroom and floors and bake cupcakes. Maybe it was the weather (snowy and cold) or the hormones, but it was probably the caffeine. Ah caffeine. Probably also why I felt the need to do push-ups. And the cupcakes because I don't have a sufficient supply of junk food in the house.

Now I am trying to figure out plans of gainful employment. I am frantically applying for jobs, especially involving those health insurance. And it is slow in the temp world. And my bills are starting to kick in.

Then again, I don't think it is hugely inconsiderate to take a job for only 3 or 6 months. Because I am applying for an Assistant to the Executive Director/Company Manager position at Virginia Shakespeare Festival. Then again, do I want to spend another infernal summer in Williamsburg? With all the Quadricentennial chaos? I am thinking fun and lazy, with free housing, since I am not locked into a lease. This would start in late May.

And of course, the great objective is to be starting grad school in August or September. (which is looking more and more possible, based on conversations with 2 schools).

On one hand, I want the regular income and schedule of a permanent job. Then again, I hate to be so flaky with a job.

I have a couple interviews on the backburner. And someone wants to hire me for second shift - 3PM-11PM. Which would effectively kill my theatre schedule. Then again, I'm not really doing theatre right now. And maybe I could do day rehearsals at VG again?

ugh.
