Looking for Work

That’s about all that it has been lately for me. Can’t say I’m complaining, I do get tired of sitting around the house… but, even so, it feels a bit… disappointing, I suppose one might call it.

Venturing out into the working world sounds like some amount of fun, this is true, but in all honesty, I am reluctant to do it. I am reluctant to leave the comfort of my house, the comfort of what I always do. However, leaving behind the person I used to be is starting to be a big feature of my life lately. I can’t stay comfortable and the same forever. There’s quite a bit out in the world waiting for me, and how odd is it that most of what is waiting for me requires the lovely resource we have come to name money to be experienced? Well, that’s life. So I’m putting in applications to many places, joining Monster.com, and just doing my best to get a job.

It’d be nice to get a car and a license and things like that, I gotta figure.  But I also must figure that it’s not as fun as sitting around at home all day and making music. Even so, the music has to stop eventually. At least for long enough for me to go out and enjoy the world. I have to save up for college and the rest of my life and such.

It’s times like this that I really wish I could find a freelance software developer or web developer spot to fill up my paypal a little bit, you  know, grab some money. I’m not above begging for donations, and yet I don’t do it. I confuse myself sometimes. Nonetheless, only with time will I be able to tell what is to happen and what isn’t.

I think now would be a good time to start looking out for the future, though.

    You could always develop software you think there’s a potential market for, but that is more unreliable.

    I know what you mean, anyway. There’s an entire world out there, but it’s easy to get complacent.
    I’ve stared wearing a watch and keeping track of my time just to prevent that.

      Wearing a watch won’t do much when I am consistently seeing a clock in front of me. I could develop software in that way, but the thing is, I would like some job security, and as you said, that is quite unreliable. It’s interesting though, I actually got a call from a company looking for a java dev. I’m not sure I could do it, but it makes me feel good about myself.
