I am a receptionist right now. It's a nice job because it pays the rent and bills AND I'm actually permitted to mess about on the internet a little (like this), as long as my work gets done. I intend to be a receptionist for the next two years, if not slightly longer. I am extremely grateful to have this job.
However, being a receptionist is not a good long-term career for me. It's a bit lonely, it doesn't pay enough to support my filmmaking, reproductive or travel ambitions and, internet messing-about aside, it can get pretty boring. Therefore, I'm spending these "working a day job to put my husband through school" years trying to figure out what actual career would suit me best.
To shoplift a term from psychological theory, I want to figure out what career path will provide me with the most flow. To figure this out, I will need to seek out new life experiences and engage in honest self-reflection. I have decided to use this blog to express adoration for things that appeal to me while I undergo this process.
Coming soon... A blog about math. Do I want to be a mathematician now? A statistician, perhaps? Maybe I do. Maybe I really, really do.
