"So try this, Virgo: Leap ahead many years in your imagination and tune in to the guidance of the ripe and vibrant wise guy or wise woman you will ultimately become."

I've been languishing in relative misery these past two months. I made a decision about my employment that I regret. I do not wish I hadn't decided to move forward, I simply made the wrong choice. There was no way of knowing then that I'd dislike what I'm doing now so intensely.

I've been belly-aching about this for almost the entire time I've been here. First I thought it was simply me adjusting to this new environment, after having a sweet deal for the past four years. Then it was my feeling of boredom and uselessness; I wasn't getting enough tedious work, let alone engaging work. Now that I'm somewhat busy with somewhat engaging work occasionally, I see that this just ain't for me.

I have no purpose here. This is something I'm going to have to do until I find something I'm truly supposed to involve myself with. I wish I had a timeframe.

Well, here I go.

My New Employment Goal

I am finding employment that is:
- carrying a start date of within one month or less
- worthwhile (Sufficiently valuable or important to be worth one's time, effort, or interest)
- rewarding (providing personal satisfaction, affording financial or material gain)
- specialized (developed or designed for a special activity or function)
- complex (When the actual motions of the heavens are calculated in the best possible way, the process is difficult and complex. --Whewell)
- ongoing but moderate learning curve
- inspiring (stimulating or exalting to the spirit)
- positive (Characterized by or displaying certainty, acceptance, or affirmation)
- heroic (Brave; intrepid; courageous; daring; valiant; bold; gallant; fearless; enterprising; noble; magnanimous; illustrious)
