Plots in the Works

Ok, things I've been thinking in the last post. Things I'm doing (or trying to do) in this one.

"Get a haircut, and get a real job"

Ok, so no haircut, and I'm actually not looking for a "real" job, I'm trying to get hired at an adult bookstore. Now that I've decided to go full steam ahead on the Human Sexuality thing I figured there couldn't be a better place for me to work. I'll learn things in class that I can hopefully apply at work while talking to customers or helping with marketing. And perhaps I'll learn something at work that I can apply in class. The hours are also offset from the normal 9 - 5 day, which is exactly what my classes are in the middle of. I'm keeping a couple development jobs on the side to bring in extra cash; the pay is not great, but the fringe benefits....

To evangelize a bit, on my 43things list I have something along the lines of "Live rather than just exist". I've realized recently the importance of career in this goal. If you spend a third (or more) of your day doing a job that you are only so-so about, that's a third of your life where you are just existing, just going through the motions to do what has to be done. Just doing what has to be done is not living. If however you are lucky enough to find a career that you love, you're a third of the way to living every moment of your short life. In fact, you're probably more than a third of the way because you won't be carrying stress over into your "real life", you'll be carrying excitement home instead. Congrats!

We now return you to the regularly scheduled todo list:

I'm getting back into climbing and yoga. Yay! I've missed it. I went climbing this weekend and was surprised by the cool people who unexpectedly showed up (don't tell, I actually experienced a bit of awesomeness od). I'm hoping to go again next weekend and get slowly back into yoga next week.

I'm still working on starting an adult video club, I got sidetracked with the first todo item.

Class starts in a week and a half. I'll be commuting up to the city 4 days a week. Really looking forward to it. I've missed 280, and mmm, human anatomy: the sexy bits.

My lolPron idea is scrapped, somebody beat me to it. Some of these are actually pretty funny, but I have a twisted sense of humor sometimes so I'll say they're not for the faint of heart and NSFmostW. I'm a little sad I didn't get to start it, but I'm glad somebody did, it was kind of an obviously twisted place to take it.
