...that is the question.
Well, if you've been reading this you know I'm a mercurial guy. Impulsive-Obsessive, if I were to offer a diagnosis. Anyway, I volunteer one afternoon a week at a tourist information kiosk. I just love it. Lots of superficial interaction with very nice people. Mostly the tourists are in a very good mood and looking forward to their adventures. So that got me thinking, if I enjoy doing this so much why not do it one more day a week? Two days a week "working" would round out my week nicely and more than satisfy my need for socializing and more importantly satisfy MY RESTLESS NATURE. But then I said, why give my time away? Why not get a part-time job, like in a coffee shop, or store or some other place that provides a bit of socializing?
Step 1. I went to a local employment counseling agency. You know the kind, they are funded by the government and mostly just provide employment for the people that work there. They don't actually help you find a job, they just offer advice and hand-holding. But the lady I met with was very nice and encouraging and actually offered to "dumbsize" my resume so I can present it to the kind of employers I'm targeting.
I really want something that's fairly menial, where I don't have to think to hard, where I don't have a lot of responsibility. It is for fun after all. For a bit there I did consider doing contract work in my field (I am a professional) but quickly decided against that because it would just bring me stress. I retired to get out of the stress factory, so I ain't gonna jump back in.
