| | Couple of quick updates. I usually don't talk about my job hunt here (after a couple years of hearing "How's the job search?" from all corners, it would get old for you too), but what the hell? Gotta bend the rules sometimes to keep life interesting.
1. After floating directionlessly for too long to rehash, I've finally found a career focus - human resources. Methinks it would be a great field to get into - working with people all day, being a part of a company's inner workings, good career growth, etc.
2. I met a few people at a volunteer night at the church I'm attending now.* One of them, after maybe ten minutes of conversation, told me that she thought I would be really good at firing people because I'm really nice and compassionate. I laughed, caught my breath, laughed again, and thought that she had a good point. I'm going to talk to someone at a non-profit tomorrow (Weds.) morning about volunteering a couple days a week in HR, but I'm probably not going to tell her what my new acquaintance said. Well, sort of. Yes to the "nice, compassionate" part; no to the "good at firing people" part. Even though it was really funny.
*Things at church are going pretty well so far; I'm getting plugged into a couple of missional communities and getting to know people a bit. So far, I love that this church puts a priority on loving people and building them up; and I really love that people can talk with each other and be genuine and not start the conversation with "So, what do you do?" I'd even like to begin tithing sometime soon (praise God that His grace also covers unpaid tithes), BUT my one condition is that it needs to be my spiritual home first. Not just that place with the steeple where I go every Sunday at 7, but that place where I know and love people, and am known and loved as well.
Swear to Allah, if there's ever a Redeemer party where no one was allowed to talk about work (or job hunting), you'd have a hundred people quietly drinking martinis and picking their hangnails.
On the other hand, I'm still loving New York, still getting involved in things, still keeping incredibly busy, and enjoying every minute of it.
Well, I'm working a showtonight, so I should get a coffee refill and hit the rails. Stay classy, Xanga. |
