A Day Job... A Night Calling

So I'm back to serving tables, but you know what? I consider this an upgrade! There are a couple reasons for that. First, I'll be working just over half the actual hours that I was working at the Agency while making a relatively close amount of money. Second, I will be moving around instead of sitting at a desk all day. As much as I love the feeling of sloth-iciousness (beat THAT Chuck!) that comes from sitting on my butt all day at a place where the only exercise I get is moving my arm to pick up the phone receiver....this way I'll be walking for my whole shift. YAY! And lastly, I am hoping to devote my extra time to my second career...which at this time is not paying...my writing. I am joining the ranks of all those with day jobs, who focus on their true callings into the wee hours of the morning, trying desperately to put something out there that stikes a chord with someone else.

I really feel like my opportunities are increasing, with Derek on the verge of graduating from film school (and by verge I mean 4 months away - for those who have lost track). This is one of the reasons that I couldn't stay with the agency. The only creative thoughts I had left over at the end of the day were of how to convincingly call in sick for the rest of my life and get paid for it. Not a productive atmosphere. My imagination was tapped out trying to think of ways to tell someone they weren't getting their stat holiday pay because they had only worked 4 hours in the previous month...but I digress.

So now I enter yet another chapter of my life (aparantly I'm more like a children's chapter book these days, where a chapter is only 3 pages) but I am excited nonetheless. Motivation is what I can't lose sight of right now.

PS: I have some solid ideas of where to submit my work, but I am always looking for more ideas. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
