Body: PASS (walking, diet)
Mind: WIN! (interview, job hunt)
Spirit: PASS (gaming, tv)
Social: WIN! (visiting with friends)
This past week I have been following up on some job leads. I had an interview with a temp agency... agent... and pulled together a list of contacts from my previous job. I learned a lot from them, a lot of which was about me. For example, the agent mentioned that most office job sites will prefer dress pants and a shirt, which made me start to think about dress code. I've now realized that while I'm sure I can handle dressing up like that every day for a while, I actually have a strong preference for the ability to wear exercise clothes simply as a part of having an active lifestyle. It's harder to walk when your shoes are crap because they're dress shoes. It's harder to do stretches when that keep pulling your dress shirt out of your belt line. These aren't big inconveniences, but all the little discouragements do make it trickier to take care of yourself.
So I've been thinking about jobs where the active lifestyle is the whole point. Maybe I should become some sort of exercise instructor. I'm sure the money available in teaching yoga is minimal, but then so are my living expenses.
I should probably turn these thoughts into my Friday post later today.
On Wednesday, because I was chatting to friends from my previous job, I went out to lunch with a bunch of them, for some Social victory points.
I miss not doing any writing or game design. I'll have to get back into that over the weekend.
