For Its Own Sake

Well, today marks another entry by modest moi and I have to say that I arrive at it with a slight bit of disappointment, yet with a dissipating sense of ennui. This morning, the interview that I was slated to go on was canceled due to another incumbent being offered the position. The silly truth is that even though I didn't really want the job that much and I know that I shouldn't be at all picky during these times, I still feel that I missed out on an opportunity to get back out into the work force.

So, to celebrate my disappointment, I spent the morning reading a friend's music blog and contemplating the idea of volunteering for AmeriCorps to live in New Orleans for a year, helping build new homes for those displaced by Hurricane Katrina. I think that I could commit a month or maybe two, but, a whole year seems like somewhat of a compromise, especially if the stipend is but $100.00. Despite the tight living provisions, I would be schooled on Green Technologies and New Orleans history/architecture. Sounds tempting, yet, I remain undecided on the idea.

It's lunch though and I haven't eaten anything all morning. I'm going to jump on that one.
