"I need something with... DEMONIC action"
My supply of money is dwindling. The capital I have invested in (read: yarn, fabric, thread) is starting to pay off, in exceptionally meager amounts. Namely, one $25 check. But, hey, that means I've fulfilled one of my New Year's resolutions.
The problem is, as I see it, that I'm massively and obviously qualified to do one thing, teach, which is something that I really don't want to do. Really. One thing that I would like to do, edit, is something that I am naturally qualified for, plus, you know, some relevant but not direct experience; but I do not have years' experience called for. And also I've never done the sorts of things that editors do, namely... Well, I guess I have, with teaching. Set deadlines and extracted work from people and then commented on it, that is.
So.
I've been applying for tons of administrative jobs, and the Master's Degree is like a hex. Because I've done a two-year program and written a thesis, people assume that I'm h.t. and don't want to make copies.*
Also.
I think maybe I want to be a marriage counselor?
Gah.
*Not a fair assumption, BUT I can't stand the idea of making airplane reservations for someone. This has nothing to do with being hoity-toity; I can barely stand making them for myself. But at least if they don't work out for me, I can't fire myself.
