Rambling a bit. in 2014: The Year of Learning to Simplify

I'm having some bad vibes about the CVS interviews. Everything in me tells me that if I go, it's going to be a waste of time and I will hate the job.

I don't know. It seems really hard to me to trust my intuition right now. I keep feeling pulled toward creative endeavors, feeling the need to work in that kind of space. Being creative myself, helping other people learn how to express their creativity...I feel like I NEED that immersion in knitting, sewing, painting, jewelry making. I'm thinking about asking my former boss if I can come back to the store as a craft instructor. I could set my own schedule, design my own curriculum, and the money would be MUCH better than anything else I could get that is flexible. For example, if I taught a two hour knitting class, charged $10 for the class fee, and 8 people show up, then I'm making $40/hour. It's kind of a good balance between self-employment/owning my own business and having that corporate advertising machine and established customer base.

I could teach sewing, quilting, knitting, jewelry making, crafts for kids, scrapbooking...so many things. And I would LOVE my job! Could there be anything more perfect than getting paid to create things every day? No, there really isn't.

I'm hoping it's something he'll go for. That store has always had trouble finding class instructors, so I think it's a good possibility. I'm going to call him tomorrow, so we'll see how it pans out.
