I should be a pretty marketable individual. But all my job experience is in education, which apparently is synonymous with "Jack Squat" in the non-education world. Funny. In a very non-funny way. But I won't jump on that soapbox today.
The Plan is to start applying to jobs now. This means I'm not really giving this semester much of a chance, but that's okay with me. I'm still going to put effort into my job, I promise. I just know I won't be going back to it, because too many aspects of it irritate the living bejeezus out of me.
Since I am notorious for having absolutely NO self-discipline, and because the Internetz has been known to suck entire days from my life, I must formulate a detailed Plan to keep my butt in gear. And to keep my sanity from imploding.
The Schedule:
- Leave school by 5:00 every day. Screw it if I still have other carp to do; at 5:00 I'm out.
- Limit weekday Internetz time at home to 6:00-8:00. The first hour can be fun stuff, like email and blogs and Facebook (when we're on speaking terms), but the second hour has to be work: applying for jobs, updating resume, fixing dissertation, editing novels.
- Get off the computer at 8:00 and join the World of the Living. (Namely Freddy.)
- Be in bed by 10:30, so I can at least have enough sleep to face the soul-suckingness of the day job.
Sorry you're having trouble! Good luck with the schedule and job search. I'll be prayin' for ya.
