I had a job interview every day this week... two of them yesterday. I was offered every job except one at which they said I was overqualified. It is a strange feeling and one I have never experienced. Self worth? Funny. The sad thing is I don't really want any of them. One is a dream job but it doesn't pay well. One is a tech job and while the person who interviewed me seemed really cool, the job would be soul sucking. One is a job very similar to what I do now and I fear I wouldn't learn anything new. I have no idea which one to take. The dream job involves working with exotic animals. They had a bobcat in the other day. It was hit by a car and had a broken pelvis. How often do you get the opportunity to assist orthopedic surgery on a bobcat? I mean come on! I am finding excuses around every corner. I am afraid to dive in. We went to the beach tonight and watched the sunset, snacked on bread and fruit, drank wine from a nalgene bottle, and watched Bean frolic in the waves. A random man with a golden retriever came up to us and started talking. He said how important it is to follow your heart and if you have to work, at least give yourself the gift of doing something you really love. Words from a stranger never felt more appropriate.
