Scary Times

First of all, I think any of us who actually has a job at a time like this is very, very fortunate. That list is pretty scary, considering it's only been 26 days into 2009. I don't know whether or not I should feel secure with my job. While we're doing fine right now, there's no telling whether our customers will be able to sustain us in the coming years. Things are relatively normal, but I'm not oblivious to the possibility of a bad surprise. I just hate that feeling of "you never know". I've been looking around the web for new job opportunities. Since I still don't really know what I want to do with my career/life, I figure I'd just test the waters (if I dare!) I'm not sure if I have the balls to jump around, since I really fear instability and uncertainty, as previously stated...

Anyway, I was looking at personal assistant jobs, writing jobs, caretaker jobs, etc. -- just for fun, I suppose. I don't exactly have all the experience and know-how required for those jobs. There was an ad for a PA job to a "high-profile Hollywood person" who travels all around the world, paying 70K a year. That one sounded so bad ass, but it requires like a minimum 7 years of prior PA experience.

I think cosmos really cut me a break giving me a full-time job right before the economy went into the shitter. I can't imagine where I'd be if I had never accepted it. Still, I need to keep searching. I've recently realized that I need to search for greater opportunities, or else I might be stuck here for longer than desirable. It wouldn't be so bad if this industry was one that I'd like to be a part of, but I can honestly say it isn't. I don't dislike it, but I don't think I'd want to advance in this field for any reason other than money and travel opportunities. I guess we'll see.

This is practically all that I think about these days.
