Now that I've had some time to think about things (plus a night's sleep after a long week), my attitude about finding a new job has changed. Last night, while talking things over with my sister Laura, I realized that part of my deep desire to quit had been rooted in anger. Now that I've had time to calm down, I still do want to change jobs but not with the same desperation as last night. I want to find a job where I can best use the skills I have and enjoy what I do. I just wish I knew what that was.
Anyway, pray that I would be patient and diligent in searching for a new job, in staying with the job I have presently, and that I would wait on God to do His will in His time. This last point in particular is a big one for me. I struggle with impatience, and this is a time where my patience is being tested.
I've begun looking at some leads on Craigslist, but prospects at the moment aren't great. I'm glad I at least have a job, which does improve my chances of getting hired somewhere. So much of the jobs bent posted are for telemarketers or for drives for Uber. I would do the Uber thing, but I don't have a car. As for telemarketing, I would hate having a job where my income depended on trying to sell things I wouldn't buy to strangers who don't want to hear from me.
I'll post updates on my job search as things develop. Again, I ask that you pray for me in this present time.
