Mrs. Plant Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Today's my first day of unemployment. I quit my job, and rightly so. But I have no clue what to do with myself!

I guess I should get on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on down to this area ( A.C. , NJ), the casinos are always looking for entertainment coordinators, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelmon Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Take an extended vacation.....don't wait for retirement. You can do alot more now with your youth. Relish in your unemployment ! I like to offer alternatives to WORK ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I suspect you already know, but to up and quit a job without having something else lined up is usually not a good idea. Unless it is unbearable. I would think this is especially true in the entertainment field. What exactly do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KashmirDevi Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 haha, well, I am actually talking about tv/film etc, but that is a thought... Yeah, well then this is the wrong area for that. Our local tv station is well . Good luck to you tho. Take some time to enjoy yourself if you don't have to get right back to working. Relax a bit, life is short.

I like to offer alternatives to WORK ! I feel like all I do is work, deal with my dog, eat and sleep. During the weekend I just lie on my bed, stare at the ceiling and listening to music. It's pretty relaxing. Yesterday I took two long walk's in the brutal cold. I dig it. That depression topic is opening up a whole new set of discussions.

If they have none, there's not much of life....to me. People ask what I do ? I tell them what I do for fun....NOT work. Why dwell on that ? Yeah...I say take time off Mrs. Plant....but NO..don't relax, get busy with your FUN !! FILL it with joy. Let go of any guilt you may have not working....geezz....

Well, luckily I am being paid through the end of this month, so I am not terribly worried. Plus, with my past job I was working 12 hours a day and there was no time to job hunt....

Oh, someone asked what I do. I was an personal assistant to a talk show host on PBS. and did research for the show segments. Time for a change, I wasn't getting what I needed from it.

Northern Monkey Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey Mrs Plant, I have just done the same, had to stand by my principals, finish on May 31st, dont know what to do then. Have been approached about another job........a good job, but would mean moving and not sure another academic institution would be any different to this one. Might grow a dreadlock and become an old age traveller, roving the world, climbing mountains, eating strange food and catching strange diseases...............woohoo! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look through them. I have thought about relocating, just not sure when and where. Updating my resume is proving harder than expected. Being a personal assistant sounds kinda lame, but hell, they wouldn't survive without me. I made magic happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
