Will I Ever Learn To Slow Down?

I just get so excited sometimes

If you’re following along, you may remember the recent article about “just do it.” Well, the “it” was finding a job. No surprise there. I’m not exactly raking in the dough, so it’s a fair suggestion.

Unfortunately, I have fits and starts. Stop and go. Moments where I plow forward like wildfire, then come to a complete halt for seemingly no reason at all. That behavior doesn’t sound great to potential employers, so while my body is going through the “great change of life,” it seems best not to bother. I’ve got plenty going on to keep me busy, and we’re not in too bad of shape financially.

But there’s an avenue I had considered a few weeks ago that crossed my mind again today. One that cropped up when I decided to donate my car to KDHX: maybe I could be a radio personality?

Surely a non-profit radio station could hold a weekly spot for someone like me. It might be volunteer work, but it could use the skills I’ve accumulated with the podcasting and help get me out of the house. Like a job practice run of sorts. And so, I consulted Google to find out more.

Nope. I’m apparently too old (18–40). Not even volunteer work wants me.

I am weird, spiritual, and deep. Accidentally monstrous at times, but usually with good intentions. https://linktr.ee/theaccidentalmonster
