When I returned from my first voyage in 2005 I was ready to do a job search – I was excited to do a job search. I was ready for the challenge and the structure of a regular job. I was sad to leave my home in Maryland but I was ready.
This time I am not ready. I am tired…I need a rest…I’m not motivated…I want a summer vacation…I worry that I will not find something I want to do…I worry that I won’t find something I like in a place I want to live…I worry that I won’t find something that challenges me…I worry that I won’t find a job that pays me what I deserve and need to live comfortably… I worry that it will be a long process this time around.
I’ve been home for two weeks now and I haven’t even begun to think about the job search…haven’t looked at one website…haven’t looked at my resume…haven’t even sent out feelers to anyone. Zip, zero, nothing.
I think it’s different this time because the TSS job drained me to the core – I need to catch up on some serious down time and weekends. I need to re-energize a bit before I dive into this job search full force. I’m trying to give myself permission to leave it alone for awhile. I know it will come…I just need to be patient and allow myself some time to rest, rejuvenate, reconnect, re-energize and motivate.
All good things come to those who wait…right? Yup – I’m gonna keep thinking that. J
