Somewhere close to home.

A fulltime tenure, no contracts!

A job where I help people and children.

A government job.

So I have come up with a soloution - lol!

A librarian - lol! I had an epithany.

I think I actually want to do this. I think the skills I have gained so far at uni would work really well with this and I only need to do another year of study. Now of course I can't expect to work with great people, but hey I might get close.

I think I would be really good at this, and would be intrested in developing database applications further down the track.

Or open up a bookstore/cafe with my aunt. We're looking into it.
Ha ha! I'm just looking over my old post to see what I wished for/manifested. It's interesting to see my progression. Ok I was a bit off with my direction, but still pretty close.

What do I want? Good question.

A 9-5 job without too much overtime. I now work no more than 5 hours a day, mainly three.

People that I get along with. I feel at ease with the people I work with

A job where I can use my skills and use my mind. A bit technical. Well I do a bit of both. I teach at uni on some days which is quite technical, the other days I work with children, where of course you have to use your mind.

Somewhere close to home. Hmm I'm in between - one job is a 15 minute drive from home, the other two are half an hour away, and freelance work is at home. My goal is to work in a childcare place just down the road, so I can walk to it. I believe strongly that this will come to fruition.

A full time tenure, no contracts! Hmmm not yet, but actually I am really liking the workload I have and the two different fields I am working in. So I am happy with how it is at the moment.

A job where I help people and children. I teach adults twice a week and work with children the other two days

A government job. yyeah I guess all three are government

So I have come up with a solution - lol!

A librarian - lol! I had an epiphany. Wrong. I changed my mind about this, I really thought about it, but came to the realization that I would get really bored and I really do want to interact with children, which would not necessarily be the case in a library. I think working with children keeps you on your toes more. Also you have to be quite creative when working with children, which I am.
